One of the great joys of a cottage holiday is the freedom it offers — and that includes bringing your dog along too! There’s no need to leave your four-legged friend behind in kennels when they can join in the adventure.

Highland Perthshire is a dog’s paradise, with endless opportunities for walking, swimming, and exploring. From peaceful woodlands and scenic hill trails to open countryside and lochside strolls, there's something to get every tail wagging.

Many of our cottages are pet-friendly and perfectly located for dog lovers. After a day of outdoor fun, your pup can curl up beside a roaring fire — tired, happy, and dreaming of tomorrow’s rabbits.

What’s more, you’ll find plenty of dog-friendly cafés and restaurants throughout Perthshire, so no one gets left out at mealtimes.

Canine Health & Happiness

Enjoy a fun and safe holiday experience with your four legged friend in Perthshire.

When out and about, always make sure to pop them on a leash when another dog approaches or engage the owners to check what they and their dog are comfortable with.

Town centre parks and recreational grounds are the perfect spots - flat and wide - for your four-ledded friend to burn off breakfast, lunch or dinner.

They are also a great place to asks locals where to buy replacement collars or leashes, shampoo, brushes, water bowls or the best gravy bones! As they can be very social places at times, it's best to avoid these spaces if your dog prefers it's own company. 

If you forget to pack your dog's medication or your stock begins to run low, or in the rare case of an accident or medical emergency, we recommend contacting Heartland Veterinary Services, in Pitlochry.

Seek reassurance and your access rights from the Access Scotland website for a range of helpful and practical advice and guidance.

We know dog's aren't just pets, they are family. Holidays should be the perfect time to spend uninterrupted time with them. And when you're away from home, there is something very special about sharing your holiday experiences with your canine companion. 

Guest Reviews

Hi Bea, We had a wonderful time at the Bank. We instantly relaxed the moment we walked through the door! We were very impressed by the home comforts, interior design and high standard of finish. The Bank is also really well-equipped, we wanted for nothing. Location wise it's perfect, a peaceful village feel but close to the A9 to access farther afield quickly and easily. All in all a fantastic visit and we wished we could have stayed longer!

At the end of a wonderful week in this lovely cottage, we’re wishing we had booked a second week. The location is perfect, the scenery beautiful and the cottage is a dream. We have stayed in some lovely holiday cottages over the years, this one ranks No 1.

Dear Bea, We had a fantastic stay at Gardeners Cottage. When we arrived at Pitlochry we were quite exhausted. But opening the door our holidays started, a fire was burning in the stove, on the table there were nice little tulips and the red wine was all I needed to relax. This was a great welcome. I enjoyed watching the birds having their breakfast while we had ours. The Cottage is equipped with everything we needed. We hope we can book with you again, when we are in Perthshire again.
