Dogs Welcome
A Dog-Friendly Base by Loch Leven
Bring the hound. An enclosed garden to shake off in, the Loch Leven Heritage Trail five minutes from the door, and owners who know the best walks because they do them with their own dog.

Walks From the Door, Not the Car
Loch Leven Heritage Trail
A flat, 21km path around the whole loch, starting a five-minute walk from the house. Do a short stretch to the pier or the full circuit. Dogs on leads near the nature reserve, please.
Enclosed garden
Fully fenced and gated, south-west facing, with a patio and lawn. Let them out first thing without a lead in your hand.
Lomond Hills and beyond
Bishop Hill and West Lomond are a short drive for a proper leg-stretch with views over the loch and across to the Highlands.
Dog-friendly town
Kinross has cafes and pubs that welcome dogs, and the Loch Leven Brewery is a short walk. We'll point you to the ones we use.
Practical for muddy days
Hard floors in the kitchen and dining room, a washing machine for towels, and the garden tap for a rinse before coming in.
Owners who get it
Elaine and Ross have a dog of their own. If you have a question about anything from reactive dogs to two dogs, just ask before you book.

Questions We're Often Asked
Is there a charge for dogs? +
No. Well-behaved dogs stay free. We just ask that they stay out of the bedrooms and off the furniture.
Can I bring two dogs? +
Often yes. Please contact us before booking so we can say yes with confidence, and tell us a little about them.
Is the garden fully enclosed? +
Yes. It is fenced and gated on all sides. We would still keep an eye on escape artists and diggers, as with any garden.
Where can we walk from the house? +
The Loch Leven Heritage Trail is a five-minute walk away and runs flat around the whole loch. Kirkgate Park and the pier are the nearest stretch. For hills, the Lomonds are a ten-minute drive.

Yes, several in Kinross welcome dogs, and the Loch Leven Brewery is a short walk. We keep an up-to-date list in the guest guide you receive before arrival.
