As people make their way north to the Highlands and Islands, they often overlook the Scottish Lowlands: something of a hidden gem in Scotland. With mighty rivers, beautiful beaches and several hills bigger than the fells of the Lake District (even if they don’t fall into the category of Munro), the Scottish Lowlands are an excellent choice for a dog friendly staycation.
Summerhill Farm Stays: one of two lodges on this stunning site on a working farm, The Barn is the dog friendly option here. This studio style lodge sleeps 2 and welcomes 2 dogs, with a hot tub with incredible views over the Glenkens.
Lazyday Cottages: three Scandi-style log cabins, each with its own hot tub, in a great location for exploring both the Scottish Borders and the Northumberland Coast. Each cabin sleeps up to 4 people and welcomes 2 dogs.
