Dog-friendly stays
Kinloch is a genuinely dog-friendly hotel on the Isle of Arran, making it easy to bring your waggy-tailed friend along for the fun.
With coastal walks, countryside trails and wide beaches nearby, Arran is a wonderful destination to discover together.
Dog-friendly bedrooms
It is important to let us know in advance if you will be travelling with your dog so we can allocate the most suitable room for your stay. If your pup is not booked in advance we may not be able to accommodate you.
Some – but not all – of our rooms can accommodate two well-behaved pups.
About your doggy stay:
- Your four-legged friend is welcome in all areas of the hotel, apart from our restaurant.
- You are welcome to dine with your pooch in our hotel bar. Please speak to a member of our team to request this.
- We love dogs just as much as their fellow humans so be sure to make the most of our doggy treats scattered around the hotel.
We ask just one thing in return: please consider the comfort of other humans, keeping your dog on a lead where necessary and being sure to calm them if they become a bit excited!
Dog-friendly bedrooms need to be pre-booked; a fee of £20.00 applies for each pup (maximum of two dogs per room).

Sustainable stays
Green tourism
We understand the importance of our responsibility for future generations and how the choices we make at Kinloch, if they're not environmentally driven, could affect this.
As a business, we don't do 'green' by halves; we're evolving our operations to protect our natural environment from any adverse effects our hotel could have.
We believe that making conscious changes, implementing them in every aspect of your stay and actively seeking out more ecological choices is more about the journey than the destination. This is why we're proud to say that we've taken our first steps towards adopting a smart, sustainable outlook from top to bottom, showcasing efficient and eco-friendly decisions.
