Dog Friendly Breaks in Loch Lomond

Loch Lomond is one of the best places in Scotland for a holiday with your dog. Miles of walking trails, open countryside, forests, and loch shores make it a paradise for dogs and their owners. Our pet-friendly lodges and cottages put you right in the middle of it all, with easy access to some of the finest walks in the Trossachs National Park.

Popular dog walks in the area include sections of the West Highland Way, the paths around Balloch Country Park, lochside trails at Balmaha, and forest walks near Aberfoyle. Most local pubs and cafes in villages like Luss and Drymen welcome dogs too, making it easy to enjoy a meal out without leaving your pet behind.

Loch Lomond works well for dog-friendly breaks year-round. Summer brings the busiest trails, but spring and autumn are quieter and easier for dogs that don't love crowds. Winter walks have the loch and the hills almost to yourselves.

What our dog-friendly cottages and lodges offer

Pet-friendly can mean different things from one lodge to the next. Here's what to expect across our collection.

Many of our pet-friendly lodges come with a fully enclosed garden, giving you a safe space to let your dog out morning and night. It's useful if your dog needs secure boundaries. Others back onto open countryside, with fields and woodland straight from the door for dogs with steady recall.

Different lodges welcome different numbers of dogs, from one up to four, so families with multiple pets aren't ruled out. Some properties keep dogs to certain rooms or ask that they stay off the sofas, while others are more relaxed. Each listing spells out its own pet rules.

Many lodges sit close to a forest trail, lochside path, village walk, or country park, so dog walks can start at the door, not from the car.

Some dog-friendly stays include hot tubs too. Browse our lodges with hot tubs if that is part of the plan.
