Watch tails wag when you arrive at this 125-acre working farm in Huntly, Aberdeenshire. This charming converted steading is cosy, with generous social spaces and a crackling wood burner for warming chilly paws. It’s the ideal choice for small families to bring along their precious pooch for the holiday in Scotland.
Usher your puppy into this beautifully designed escape and get snug-as-a-bug from the underfloor heating and dancing flames of the cosy wood burner. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is a wonderful spot to enjoy the farm views through the spectacular floor-to-ceiling windows, while the soft seating means you can spend hours curled up with your canine companion. Mealtimes are a breeze thanks to the shaker-style kitchen/diner, which is packed with everything needed to prepare dogs'' dinners. Once evening falls, sleeping dogs can settle peacefully in either of the two bedrooms, each with an en-suite. In brighter weather, spend time outdoors on the spacious patio, lighting the shared BBQ to extend the evening as much as possible.
Spend each day exploring the surrounding area far and wide, ensuring you’ve got a good selection of sticks for the never-ending adventures. Enjoy morning walkies at Haughton Country Park (9 miles), or around Coynachie Forest (12 miles), before visiting Alford town (9.5 miles) to top up your doggo treats and experience the narrow-gauge railway. Discover the secret passageways and centuries-old towers of the many nearby castles, including Huntly, Dunnideer or Barra (all within 27 miles), or venture to 1650s Leith Hall, where you can explore the Edwardian garden and enjoy a dog-friendly lunch at the cafe.
