Set in the scenic Scottish village of Spittal of Glenshee, this charming cottage is a fantastic choice for couples or small families travelling with a dog. You’ll be surrounded by the breathtaking landscapes of the Cairngorms National Park, making it an absolute dream for pets who adore long countryside rambles. The Glenshee Ski Centre is just 6.5 miles away, where dogs can join you on the designated walking routes, while the lively town of Blairgowrie (20 miles) provides shops, dining and water sports.
The inside of this detached home feels warm and inviting, with a stylish interior enhanced by ceiling beams and exposed stone walls. Relax with fellow guests and dogs in the kitchen/diner, with its farmhouse-style aesthetic and wooden dining table. The cosy lounge has a wood burner set in a stone fireplace – lovely for tired pets to stretch out beside. Upstairs are two beautifully styled bedrooms – one king-size and one twin – along with a family bathroom with both a bath and a shower. Outside, dogs can roam safely in the large enclosed garden while you tuck into al fresco meals with views towards the mountains. There’s private parking for two cars.
From your doorstep, you and your pups can head straight out for scenic and energetic hillside walks. The surrounding area is rich with opportunities for hiking, mountain biking and Munro bagging, while in warmer months, the countryside becomes a haven for wildlife spotting and leisurely strolls. Want to try some local tipple? Head to Persie Distillery (11 miles) where you may be able to sample gin named after your dog’s breed.
