Cottages with the Bow-Wow Factor

 

Holidaymakers who can’t bear to be parted from their dogs should check out the latest addition to our portfolio – Glentress Cottage, a stylish four bedroom, self catering cottage right next to Glentress Forest in the Scottish Borders.

    Located amongst some of the UK’s most glorious scenery, close to the town of Peebles and less than an hour from Edinburgh, it has walks galore so four-legged-friends can scamper to their hearts’ content, an enclosed garden so they can’t escape and an open fire for them to curl up beside at the end of a fun-filled day.

    Our team of inspectors have sniffed out dozens of top quality dog-friendly self catering properties in beautiful locations throughout Scotland. Over 70% of our cottages welcome man’s best friend so there’s lots of choice ranging from cosy beach cabins by the sea that are perfect for digging or practicing doggie paddle, to cottages in the hills where visitors and their furry friends can walk for hours and experience some of Scotland’s majestic scenery.
