Is Loch Tay Highland Lodges Pet-Friendly?

Updated

Yes. Loch Tay Highland Lodges presents itself as pet-friendly holiday accommodation, and dogs can be added to a booking directly through the availability search. The site's pet policy is framed around cottages and lodges, which it describes as offering home comforts for the whole family, "including your four-legged friend." The one concrete cost signal on the page is a pet charge of £15 per pet per night, shown in the booking widget.

How pets are handled in the booking process

The availability search on the site includes a dedicated Pets field alongside the guest fields. The search form lists:

  • Adults — 18 years and over
  • Children — aged 2–17
  • Infants — under 2 (excluded from cabin occupancy)
  • Pets — with the note "£15 per pet per night"

This means you declare the number of pets at the search stage rather than arranging it afterwards, and the nightly charge is visible before you commit. If you are comparing total costs across dates, add £15 per pet per night to the accommodation price for each night of the stay.

Which accommodation suits dog owners

The site's pet-friendly messaging points specifically to cottages and lodges rather than to every accommodation type. The park's broader range covers cabins and lodges, glamping, camping, houses and "quirky properties," but the pet-friendly section does not state that all of these accept dogs. If you are booking glamping or camping rather than a lodge, confirm pet acceptance for that specific unit before booking — the page does not promise it across the board.

The lodges themselves are described as Scandinavian-built holiday lodges with hot tubs, set on the shores of Loch Tay in Perthshire. The pet-friendly framing emphasises self-catering comfort and space for the family, which fits the lodge format better than a tent pitch.

What to expect on site with a dog

The park is in the central Highlands, surrounded by mountains, lochs and rivers, and within driving distance of Edinburgh, Stirling and Glasgow. That setting is the main practical argument for bringing a dog: walking country starts at the park. The site also lists on-park experiences and a Boathouse Restaurant, so there are options that don't require leaving the grounds.

The page does not publish a set of dog rules — leads, designated walking areas, whether dogs are allowed in the restaurant, or limits on pet numbers per unit. Treat those as questions for the park before you travel rather than assumptions.

Practical checklist before booking

  1. Search with your pet count entered so the £15 per pet per night charge is included in the quoted price.
  2. Choose a lodge or cottage if you want the accommodation type the pet-friendly section describes; ask about glamping and camping separately.
  3. Confirm the per-unit pet limit and any house rules with the park, since these aren't stated on the page.
  4. Check availability for your dates — the site's booking flow is the authoritative source for what is open, and the page shows current news and offers that may affect price.

For a family that wants a self-catering base in the Highlands with a dog along, the park's own description supports that plan. The main things to pin down are the unit type, the number of pets allowed in it, and the total pet charge for your nights.
