Very IMportant Pets

We welcome well behaved and fully socialised dogs. However, as Eddrachilles is a small hotel we do have to limit the number of dogs staying at any one time. Also some rooms are designated pet free for guests who have allergies etc. Please contact us to discuss before booking. This also applies to any dogs that you may be intending leaving in your vehicle overnight.

All pre-booked dogs are welcome in the hotel’s public areas but we do restrict dogs to a specific zone of the dining room. Please keep your dog(s) on a lead in the public areas.

Our BowWOW services include: dog towels, bedding, bowls, warm water doggie washing facility, as well as mats and cushions designed for canine comfort. All available on request.    

There is a charge of £15 per dog for staying in a guest bedroom (irrespective of the length of your stay). Guide Dog and other registered assistance dogs are, of course, free of charge.

Excellent DOg Walking Country

We have a number of recommended routes of varying length for dog walks, including one directly from the hotel front door, and we can tell you where to go to avoid sheep, livestock and deer.  Sutherland is excellent dog walking country but please be sure you have your dog under control at all times.

Of course, we're happy to supply free doggie poo bags.

Good manners appreciated

At Eddrachilles we have our own resident dogs and cats and at any time we may be hosting other guest dogs. If your pet is nervous of other animals or strangers, please discuss with us before booking. We also reserve the right to operate a “three barks” rule in the restaurant.

For the comfort of all our guests we limit the total number of guest dogs staying in the hotel. We do ask that all guest dogs are closely supervised or kept on a lead in the public areas.

VETS

The hotel is covered by an excellent veterinary practice based in Rogart, some 90 minutes drive away. Given the distance, please double check that you have any prescribed medication for your pets before travelling and consider carrying a pets first aid kit (we have one available in the hotel).  

The Highlands also have ticks in summer so best prevent any unwelcome souvenirs by dosing your pets before you travel!
