Highland Coast Hotels is offering its four-legged guests and their owners a new menu of dog-friendly experiences to enjoy together in the far north of Scotland.
To deliver these ‘Doggie Digs’ breaks, the hotel group has teamed up with dog-friendly activity providers to offer everything from paddle boarding, canoeing and kayaking with The Sutherland Adventure Company; to boat trips with Northwest Sea Tours, and Summer Isles Cruises; and wildlife spotting with Calum’s Seal Trips.
The team of ‘Doggie Digs’ helpers at Highland Coast Hotels are also armed with a choice of more gentle local walks along beaches, rivers and lochs from the doorstep of each venue, including the grounds of Dunrobin Castle, Cawdor Castle and Eilean Donan Castle; nature trails at Castle Varrich and Strathnaver; Attadale Gardens by train from Plockton; Golspie Burn Waterfall and Gorge; and the continuing search for the Loch Ness Monster.
HCH is working with local pet company ‘Highland Paws’ to welcome canine guests with a pack filled with sustainable dog biscuits; a toy crafted from recycled materials found on beaches, dog shampoo and biodegradable doggie bags.
Extra comforts for dogs at Highland Coast Hotels include a courtesy dog bowl, towel and a blanket or bed for the duration of their stay.
The company has highlighted that dogs are welcome at each of its seven venues around the North Coast 500 and wider North Highlands region, including Lochardil House in Inverness; Royal Marine Hotel in Brora; Royal Golf Hotel in Dornoch; Tongue Hotel, Kylesku Hotel, Newton Lodge and Plockton Inn in Wester Ross.
Prices for dog-friendly stays with Highland Coast Hotels start from just £99 per room, per night, inclusive of breakfast per person and based on two people sharing a standard double guestroom at any Highland Coast Hotels venue.
There is a supplement of £20 per dog, per night, up to a maximum of £80 per stay.
Dogs are also welcome to join their owners for lunch or dinner in the bar areas at each of Highland Coast Hotels’ seven venues.
