Make a romantic retreat to Bonnie Scotland and bring your delighted dog with you. This one-bedroom cottage at Glenisla, 15 miles from Blairgowrie and Rattray, sleeps just two guests but welcomes their canine companion with open paws. Bound out to explore the glorious glens around you, then return to let your paw-some pal pad about the lovely, enclosed garden while you bubble in the hot tub and absorb the views.
Hang dog leads and slide off walking boots in the hall as you make your way inside. Call your pup to join you in the welcoming, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, which is filled with streaming sunshine. Light the wood burner so he can warm his soft paws while you cuddle up on the loveseat and enjoy the cosy glow. Prepare meals for the two of you and your chum over in the contemporary kitchen. Pop open a bottle of wine and dine at the table by the window. Bid your furry friend goodnight, then head off to the king-size bedroom for a peaceful night’s sleep. Awake to a refreshing shower before heading out on the first dog walk of the day. Grill fresh Scottish produce on the BBQ as the sun sets over the fields and your happy hound listens for the hoot of the owl. Hop into the hot tub and enjoy a little stargazing before bed. There is private parking here for two cars.
Head 10 miles to find yourselves at magnificent Glenshee and within the mighty Cairngorms National Park. Here you will find a myriad of superb walking trails to follow and beauty spots to visit with your canine companion. Dogs can also accompany you on a visit to the Reekie Linn Waterfall, 5.5 miles away. Follow the 4.5-mile route around the Loch of Lintrathen, 7 miles away, together.
