Finding Luxury Dog-Friendly Cottages in Scotland

Holidays are great for exploring Scotland while spending time with friends or family members. And if there is a furry friend in the tribe, you won’t be happy to leave them out of all the fun. Therefore, your holiday will be the right excuse to jump on some nice adventure with your dog to give them quality attention.

In order to plan the perfect getaway, you need to get luxury accommodation that is dog-friendly. Generally, when it comes to planning a holiday with a pet, there is no one accommodation that suits everyone. We all have different traveling styles and needs. Therefore, the checkboxes on our list will be different based on what we plan to do during the holiday.

For some people, a holiday means a cozy bed to sleep in after a day’s hiking before starting out early the next day. For others, it means a provision to rest and enjoy slow times out of the city’s fast pace. So, what does a holiday mean to you?

In this article, we will discuss the things to look for when searching for dog-friendly cottages in Scotland. We will also outline the items to pack so your doggy can be comfortable during the vacation.

Things to Look for in a Cottage when Holidaying with Your Dog

When searching for a dog-friendly cottage in Scotland, here are the things to look for:

First, you must understand that many cottages in Scotland permit dogs, but some do not. So, you have to narrow down the search to cottages that are pet-friendly and whose landlords accept canine lodgers.

Second, when you find some options, get more details about them such as their precise guidelines and rules for lodging with a pet. Find out if you should inform the landlord before bringing your dog. Also, check if the cottage charges an additional fee or a security deposit for bringing a dog.

Third, ensure you read the fine print thoroughly. This will help you get important details about the cottage. Look for things like the material used for flooring the cottage.

You can check if their garden is safe and enclosed and if they allow dogs into the rooms. You can also find out if there are special activities that you can engage in with your pet.

Lastly, ensure you choose a place that has safe walking spaces including nearby activities for you and your dog. It may be frustrating to discover that you can’t have fun with your doggy when on a vacation. Did you know that pet-friendly and pets allowed do not mean the same thing?

What to Pack for the Trip

In order to enjoy your holiday to the fullest and ensure the comfort and safety of your dog, take some time to think about what to pack. If your pet is happy, the holiday will be stress-free. Here are some suggestions:

  1. Food bowls and water. Some cottage owners do not like to use their favorite china.
  2. Your dog’s blanket and bed. Cottage owners won’t allow your pet to sleep on the bed in the cottage. Besides, your dog will be more comfortable when they sleep in their bed.
  3. A water holder and travel bowl for days when you want to take a long walk or a day trip.
  4. Your dog’s favorite toys. Comfort or floating toys, balls, and a frisbee provide entertainment for you and your dog.
  5. Towels for wiping off muddy paws and drying their furs.
  6. Take some throws to cover the armchairs and sofas so the dog does not leave furs when it rubs against the pieces of furniture.
  7. Obviously, you need to take poo bags, food, medication, harnesses, and leads. But packing extra items like tick remover and additional leads may be worth it.
  8. Ensure you include an identification number bearing your phone number to the dog’s collar. This will be helpful in case they go missing.
  9. Do not forget to pack a lot of treats. Remember, your doggy is on a holiday, too. You can check out https://www.dogsforgood.org/2018/06/tips-taking-your-dog-on-holiday/ to find more tips for holidaying with your furry friend.
