Crerar Hotel’s names its first ‘ambassadogs’ after nationwide search

Bailey and Loki

Newly appointed as the furry faces of Crerar Hotels’ new dog-friendly offering are spaniels Bailey and Loki, who topped hundreds of entries for the job.

The ‘ambassadogs’ will now front the group’s Dogs of Crerar Hotels campaign, while their owners will enjoy a stay at their favourite hotel in the collection.

General manager of Loch Fyne Hotel & Spa Niall O’Shaughnessy said: “We had the hardest job in the world trying to pick a winner for our ambassadog competition, but we instantly fell in love with Bailey and Loki as soon as we saw them.

“We are so excited to be working with them over the course of the year and hope to welcome both them and their paw-rents back to Loch Fyne to celebrate soon!”

Already known for its dog-friendly offering, Crerar Hotels’ has added a brand-new package of dog-friendly amenities includes a welcome pack with a ball, treats and poo bags as standard, and a ‘Tail Waggers guide’ with useful information on nearby walks and local vet information.

All Crerar properties will also offer plush beds, cosy blankets and water bowls to pooches who enjoy a little bit of luxury.

On arrival dogs will be treated to biscuits with water bowls in reception, whilst each hotel will also have its own unique offering. For example, the Loch Fyne Hotel & Spa currently offers complimentary breakfast sausages, whilst Oban Bay Hotel has a Dog Wall of Fame and offers puppuccinos.

Crerar Hotels has also announced a partnership with Edinburgh-based luxury dog accessories brand Stocky & Dee, which has developed a bespoke range of collars, bow ties and poo bag holders in the Crerar colours.

Niall added: “Crerar Hotels is all about creating memorable experiences for all our guests, including our four-legged friends.

“With Bailey and Loki leading the way, we’re proud to showcase our ever-expanding dog-friendly offerings and we’re looking forward to welcoming pups across our portfolio of hotels.”
