Dog-friendly coastal cottages in Scotland

Dog-friendly cottages in Scotland by the sea

Take a peek at our sparkling selection of dog-friendly cottages in Scotland by the sea and discover your favourite. Whether you choose a hillside lodge, a beachside retreat, or a family-friendly cottage in a seaside town, you’ll find dog-friendly features to suit your discerning hound, from cosy dog beds, and enclosed gardens, to dog-friendly pubs within reach. With miles of sandy beaches, curious rock pools and springy sand dunes to enjoy, canine companions will love the variety of beaches, headlands and moorland terrain found on holidays in Scotland. And, beyond the mainland, you’ll find hundreds of islands offshore, so you can take day trips on ferries to add an extra sense of adventure for all the family. 

If you need a digital detox, then head to the north-east of Scotland and meander the North Coast 500 route towards the most remote and spectacular outposts of Alba - see ancient stone circles, castle ruins, and enjoy dog-friendly beaches. Head south towards the border with England, and walk the Berwickshire Coastal Path - explore rock pools with crabs and starfish on Eyemouth beach harbour before reaching the pretty fishing village of St Abbs. Go West and enjoy the long stretch of sand at Westport Beach in Argyll, with dolphins offshore. Enjoy a dog-friendly holiday stay on the popular islands of Skye, Mull, and Arran where you can potter around pretty galleries and artisan shops or bike and hike challenging hilltops before relaxing in your cosy retreat. Book one of our Scottish dog-friendly holiday cottages by the sea and enjoy the happiest of family holiday escapes.
