Pet-Friendly Lodges With Hot Tubs in Scotland

We have created a list of the top pet-friendly lodges in Scotland because it just wouldn’t feel right to leave your four-legged friends at home!

I am pleased to say that we have a wide selection of holiday parks, pods, log cabins, caravans and overall pet-friendly holidays for you from every area of Scotland that we could think of.

We have especially tried our best to find dog-friendly lodges with hot tubs because I think the majority of us would love a hot tub if we could have one.

I really hope that we have found something perfect for you, so you can get away and enjoy a break without doing any of the hard work searching!

Lodges in Aberdeenshire & Angus

Peel Farm – Kirriemuir

At Peel Farm, you can choose between standard or premium pods depending on your requirements but if you are coming as part of a larger group, you can always book a steading!

Located in Kirriemuir, near the Reekie Linn Waterfall and only 30 minutes from Dundee, Peel Farm is a fantastic option for those that enjoy fishing, golf and long nature trails but it is also great for families as they have an on-site coffee shop and farm shop where you can buy various items from alcohol, books, jewellery and clothes.

Each pod and steading comes with an en-suite and private wood-fired hot tub. Premium and steading stays also come with added extras such as bathrobe and slippers, coffee machine and TV etc.

Pods are suitable for up to 2 guests and steadings for up to 8 guests. 

Not all accommodation is pet-friendly, please do check before booking and there is an added fee for dogs.

Macdonald Aviemore Woodland Lodges – Aviemore

The Macdonald Woodland Lodges have a mix of two and three-bed accommodations which makes it ideal for couples, small groups and families.

There are plenty of fun activities to keep the whole group occupied, think of it as more of a resort than a lone lodge.

I don’t believe that the Woodland Lodges offer private hot tub holidays but it has the largest indoor swimming pool in the Cairngorms with a flume, wave machine, sauna, steam room and whirlpool. With golfing, hillwalking, cycling and a gym if you want to work out, there is truly something for everyone.

In terms of surrounding things to do, you are nearby Landmark Forest Adventure Park and Highland Wildlife Park or for a more relaxing time, there is the cinema, spa and shopping.

There are a number of restaurants, cafes and bars nearby but you do also have your kitchen, wood-burning fire and private decking if you want something a little more intimate.

There are 18 woodland lodges which can sleep up to 6 guests. There is disabled access for some of the ground-floor lodges! 

Accommodation is dog-friendly but prior notice is required.

Rowanlea Lodge – Laurencekirk

Laurencekirk is a very underrated area which is near some beautiful beaches like Lunan Bay and St Cyrus beach, castles like Drumtochty and Dunnottar and plenty of wonderful restaurants. 

There are many small towns and villages nearby to visit and it has a lovely community aspect about it.

The decor of Rowanlea Lodge is homely with a Scottish twist. It boasts of views over Cairn o’ Mount and the Grampian Hills while inside you can enjoy the lovely log-burning fire and luxury comforts.

You will receive a welcome breakfast hamper filled with fresh produce to make your stay more comfortable and really allow you to relax and enjoy the break.

Rowanlea Lodge can accommodate up to 4 guests with the added option of a sofa bed for a further 2 guests. 

It is pet-friendly.

Lodges in the Highlands

The Hideaway – Lochinver

Heading up to the Scottish Highlands for a relaxing night away has to be one of my favourite things. 

There is nothing like escaping the city every now and then and enjoying the peace and of course, the beautiful beaches.

If you are like me, The Hideaway in Lochinver is the perfect option for you! A log cabin, nestled away from prying eyes and only 15 minutes away from the popular Achmelvich beach. 

And make sure to visit Hermit’s Castle, the smallest castle in Europe!

You can enjoy the luxury of the hot tub while looking at the stars, or have a BBQ on the terrace whilst taking in the views which overlook the bay of Lochinver and the Assynt mountains.

The cabin itself is fully equipped with a kitchenette, flatscreen TV, King size bed, washing machine, on-site parking and lots more.

This is a great spot for a romantic getaway for two, and it is pet friendly.

Unfortunately, it is not wheelchair friendly as access is by use of stairs.

Waterloo Lodge can sleep up to 6 guests and is luxurious from wherever you stand. 

This is less of a cabin and is definitely a lodge if you could call it such.

With the hot tub, jacuzzi, and infra-red sauna, it’s the ideal way to enjoy the tranquillity and truly relax.

Much of the lodge is open-plan yet homely.

I urge you to take a look!

I think that this would be a fantastic spot to book over the festive season, or for New Year!

An Cala Riverside House – Nethy Bridge, Strathspey

An Cala is a gorgeous option for larger groups of families.

Located in Strathspey, the home of the best Whisky Trails in Scotland. This area also has the Cairngorms, skiing, walking, hiking, biking, golfing, RSPB bird watching, the river, fishing and the forest to enjoy.

It is the perfect location for those that enjoy the outdoors but also for those that are looking to get away from everything!

You will have the luxury of the hot tub and outside shower on the deck which overlooks the river and for those colder evenings, you have access to two wood fires.

Nestled in the trees but with large open space indoors and with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer the most beautiful views, An Cala is one to remember!

The accommodation has 5 bedrooms; 3 king-size beds (2 with ensuites) and 4 single beds. 

Suitable for up to groups of 9 and is pet-friendly.

Riverbeds – Glencoe

Glencoe is a wonderful and magical area with so much beauty so to stay in a cabin or luxury lookout is perfect bliss.

All of the log cabins overhang the river and are a true luxury experience.

Whether you opt for one of the Wee Lodges which has a jacuzzi hot tub, mini kitchen and beautiful views or you choose a longer stay in the Luxury Lookout which offers a private lochside veranda and drop-down cinema-style screen along with all of the benefits of the Wee Lodges.

Even better, you will receive complimentary prosecco and breakfast is brought to your lodge each morning: with fresh milk, warm croissants, local bread and a homemade granola pot.

Nearby, you can enjoy activities such as laser clay shooting, golfing, whisky tasting or some outdoor expeditions. There is also a cafe nearby.

Cabins are best suited for couples and many of them are pet-friendly for an added cost.

Caledonian Cabins – Invergarry

To me, Caledonian Cabins are like something out of a Christmas film. The grand log cabins are on the edge of both the mountains and the waters and are filled with Scottish touches.

The Cabins interiors are almost as you would imagine a hunting cabin, with lots of woods, and lots of deer-themed touches (including a deer head hanging above the fireplace) while The Shepherd’s Hut feels a lot more rustic and quaint.

You can enjoy some water activities with the help of canoes etc on-site or take in the peaceful surroundings while enjoying your private hot tub, fire pits and outdoor cookers.

Cabins can accommodate from 2 to 6 guests. Cabins are dog-friendly.

Lodges in Dumfries & Galloway

Conifer Lodges – Minnigaff, Newton Stewart

Conifer Lodges is based on the outskirts of Newton Stewart in the beautiful county of Dumfries and Galloway.

There are 43 lodges available, all set in the woodland where there is plenty of room to seek some well-needed tranquillity but also with plenty of options available to entertain the whole family.

All bookings include the option to enjoy free fishing, mountain biking, and special golf rates and there are many lovely walks to take in the nearby Galloway Forest Park where you can also see red squirrels and roe deer. 

Alternative activities include zip-lining for the more adventurous or a gin tasting session for those looking for a more relaxing getaway.

There is a wide range of lodges that can accommodate groups of 2-8 people which I think could make it the perfect base for either couples or families.

The majority of lodges are also dog friendly.

Laggan GG’s Yard – Laggan, Dumfries & Galloway

A beautiful, tranquil spot that is very popular with visitors. With a large number of snugs and cottages hidden in the hillside that offer sights over the coast with sea views and enclosed gardens.

With modern, clean and bright interiors running throughout, it’s clear to see why this location is so popular. With roll-top baths, picturesque views and tranquil peace, Laggan GG’s Yard would be hard to top.

There is a gorgeous on-site restaurant for all of your food requirements although you do also have some facilities available within your accommodation.

All cabins come with complimentary tea, coffee, sugar, milk, butter and a sweet treat which is a lovely personal touch.
