1 / 24Totleywells Grange
Winchburgh, West Lothian
A five star house sleeping ten across six bedrooms at a Winchburgh equestrian centre, with a large enclosed garden, games room and hot tub, three dogs welcome.
There are Shetland ponies in the next field. Totleywells Grange is a five star dog friendly house standing within a working equestrian centre outside Winchburgh, and the livestock nearest the windows is small, hairy and of enormous interest to the three dogs it takes. Ten people sleep here across six bedrooms, and the enclosed garden is large enough that a party that size and three dogs are never competing for the same ground.
The scale is the point. Six bedrooms, five bathrooms, and doors enough that a party of ten is never all in the same room unless it has chosen to be. A copper topped table seats the whole party at once. A snug at the top of the stairs takes whoever needs to be away from everybody, and the games room below has a pool table and a bar in it. One bedroom and a walk in shower room sit on the ground floor, which makes the house workable for an older relative, or an older dog that has stopped enjoying stairs.
Three generations is what a house this size tends to hold, and the layout suits it. Grandparents take the ground floor. Children colonise the games room. The dogs install themselves at the junction of kitchen and garden door, where the traffic is heaviest and the odds of something being dropped are best. The garden absorbs the overflow.
The Forth is the local geography and it repays using. Aberdour's Silver Sands lie 7.9 miles off across the water, open to dogs, with Burntisland further round the coast. Nearer the house, the paddocks and the centre's hacking tracks handle a short leg stretch. Whether the dogs end up preferring the sand or the ponies will settle itself.

Is Totleywells Grange dog friendly?
Yes, Totleywells Grange welcomes up to three dogs. The house has a large enclosed garden giving them plenty of space to roam, and the ground floor layout means dogs can move easily between the kitchen and garden.
Are dogs allowed at Totleywells Grange year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the property directly to confirm availability for your dates. Given it's a dedicated dog-friendly house, it's designed with canine guests as a core part of the experience rather than an afterthought.
What should I know before visiting Totleywells Grange with my dog?
The house sits within a working equestrian centre, so there are horses and Shetland ponies nearby — something worth bearing in mind if your dog is easily distracted or reactive around livestock. On the plus side, the enclosed garden is generous, there are hacking tracks close to the house for a quick leg stretch, and Aberdour's Silver Sands beach is around 7.9 miles away if your dog prefers sand to stables. There's also a ground floor bedroom and shower room, which is handy if you have an older dog that struggles with stairs.
