The best places right now

Some are marked dog friendly, others pets on request, which usually means you ask the owner first and may pay a fee. Lake and sea views appear on several of the smaller ones. Two-bedroom places for four, such as those around Auchterarder and Glendevon, tend to be among the cheaper options shown.

Scotland suits dog owners who want room to walk straight from the door: glens, lochs, forest tracks and long beaches are all within reach of the lodge areas. Most stays here sleep a small family or two couples, with an average capacity of just over five, so there is plenty of choice for a group travelling with one or two dogs. A few places sleep far more, up to 36 guests.

Prices sit at a middling level for a lodge break, and a week costs about the same in winter as in the rest of the year. The cheapest nights are well below the usual rate, so a modest budget is workable if you are flexible on location. Gardens come with six in ten places, which helps when a dog needs space to stretch. About a third have a hot tub and a similar share have a log burner, which is welcome after a wet walk. Some listings say dogs are welcome, others say pets on request, so check the conditions before you book.

Where are they?

Newton Stewart and St. Andrews have the most places, and both sit near the middle of the price range, with Newton Stewart a little cheaper. Hot tubs are very common around Newton Stewart and Belladrum, but rare in Killin and Lossiemouth, where nights usually cost less. Aviemore and Pitlochry are dearer, and John O Groats is the dearest of the main areas listed, with no hot tubs. Auchterarder and Killin are good places to look if you want to keep the nightly cost down.

Features

A garden is the most common feature, found at about six in ten places, and it adds little to the usual price. Fishing is dearer still. Sea view places and those with a children's play area are typically cheaper than the rest. If a fenced garden matters for your dog, ask the owner, as the listing may not say.

By number of guests

Places for two are the dearest per person, since the cost is shared between fewer guests. Lodges for three or four are the largest group and usually cost less a night than those for two, which makes them good value for a couple with a dog who wants extra room. From five to nine guests, the cost per person falls further. Very large houses for 15 to 19 guests cost the most a night, while the biggest places for 20 or more work out cheaper per person.

Prices month by month

From November to April the usual nightly price moves only a little, starting lower in November and rising gently towards April. February and April are the dearest of these months. Availability is tighter in November and December, when fewer places are free, and it opens up from January onwards. For a last-minute winter break with a dog, late winter gives you more choice, while early winter is cheaper but books up faster.

FAQs

Are all lodges in Scotland dog friendly?

No. Some listings state that dogs are welcome, while others say pets on request. In that case the owner decides, and a fee or a limit on the number of dogs may apply. Confirm this before you pay.

Are dog friendly lodges in Scotland dearer?

Usually the nightly price is close to the Scottish lodge norm. Location and features matter more than the dog policy. Places with a hot tub or log burner cost more, and areas such as Killin or Auchterarder are cheaper than Aviemore.

Which areas suit a dog owner best?

Newton Stewart, Killin and Pitlochry offer hill and forest walking, while St. Andrews and Lossiemouth are close to beaches. Highland areas such as Aviemore and Inverness have more open country. Choose by the type of walk you want.

Can I find a dog friendly lodge with a hot tub?

Yes. About three in ten places have a hot tub, and the share is high around Newton Stewart and Belladrum. Examples near Slamannan and Drymen combine a hot tub with a dog policy. Check whether the hot tub is private.

How much does a lodge or cabin in Scotland cost?

Based on the prices we check every day, a night in one of these lodges or cabins in Scotland usually costs £214, and a week in winter around £1,614 (£1,620 the rest of the year). Prices depend mostly on the dates and the size of the property.

Are there lodges with hot tubs in Scotland?

Yes: 31% of the places on this page list a hot tub or spa bath on their property page.

When should I book?
