Another Dog Friendly Holiday Recommendation
13 Aug 2008
We had a great response to our last post regarding doggy friendly holiday recommendations so we thought you may like another one.
We had a fantastic stay at the Glencoe cottages at Torren, Glencoe. Very doggy friendly (we had two cottages booked and 5 dogs with us!). It is a really great location for a "doggy" holiday. There are 3 cottages located together and each cottage can accomodate 6 - 8 people. In peak season they can only be booked out for the week but in low season long weekends are possible. The cottages are set amongst the owners 50 acres of private ground (mostly forested) and are five minutes from the private Torren Loch. The ground are fenced off so it offers great space to let your dog off lead worry free. The photo below shows the view to Torren Loch from the hills on the other side of the Glen from the cottages (this location was the spot for Hagrid's Hut in the Harry Potter Movie!). The cottages are also just 10 - 15 minutes walk to the Clachaig Inn - the famous Pub in Glencoe that serves great pub grub and allows dogs!
There is lots to do around the Glencoe area. Obviously there is lots of great Hill Walking (make sure you treat your dogs for ticks or take a tick remover!). If you feel more adventurous we would recommend getting in touch with Vertical Descents and going for a Canyoning Trip down the Inchfree Falls (near Fort William). Not for the faint hearted!! The falls are pictured in the photo below (featuring lots of our family including the resident dogs - unfortunately Sam and Charlie the Springer decided they didn't want to have their photo taken and are looking for cuddles instead!) and as you can see you can also do a lovely walk with the dogs in the area.

We love to get photos, feedback and comments from our customers and we were absolutely delighted to receive this fantastic piece of artwork from one of our regular customers Kerry, Aged 12. Kerry, a huge dog lover and also a Scottish SPCA supporter, has captured the Just Dogs "Doggy" fantastically and we were thrilled that she took the trouble to do such a fantastic poster!

Doggy Friendly Trip
30 Apr 2008
We thought we would share details of a recent trip we took with Daisy and Sam, our dogs. We are always looking for doggy friendly places to stay in the UK and welcome any suggestions from other blogsters!
A couple of weekends ago we took a trip up to Perthshire. We stayed in some Wooden Tepees at Loch Tay Highland Lodges and Equestrian Centre. The tepees come in a variety of shapes and sizes with differing facilities. At only £14 per person, per night they are great if you are on a budget. Our tepee was warm, relatively spacious and had a kitchen, bathroom with shower and tv. It also had a fantastic view right over Loch Tay. The dogs loved it as you are right out in rural Perthshire (the holiday village is about 5 minutes outside of Killin).
These pictures show just what a good time Daisy and Sam had (although we couldn't get Sam to stay still long enough to get many shots of him!).
Don't forget to share your suggestions on doggy friendly places to stay! Post a comment or e-mail us at info@justdogsshop.co.uk and we can let everyone else know!
