Having a pampered pooch ourselves, we appreciate how difficult it can be to offer your dog a holiday that doesn’t involve the dreaded ‘kennel’ word!

We have 2 specific bedrooms available for canine guests and their owners, which are also available for guests without a dog. For this reason it is important that you mention your dog at the time of booking and that you try to make your booking well in advance, to avoid disappointment.

We are aware that some guests may be uncomfortable around dogs, or indeed suffer from allergies, so we do have a few house rules:

• Dogs are not allowed in the guest lounges or the breakfast room at any time

• Dogs are not to be left alone in the bedrooms

• Dogs must be kept on a short lead when outside their bedroom

• A one-off charge of £10 is required to cover extra cleaning costs

Our pooch (posing for the camera!) is happy to loan out her large brass cage, with freshly laundered bedding, by prior arrangement, at no extra cost. The cage is large enough to take a labrador comfortably and will easily fit in either of the 2 rooms available for dog owners.

For a small extra charge we can provide dog food if needed and for your information there is a vet at Broadford (7 miles away), who also sells all kinds of dog food and accessories.

The Obbe (the harbour inlet that runs round the back of Kyleakin - inaccesible in parts at high tide), pictured at the top of this page, is a lovely walk for your dog. The Forestry Commission also have local trails ideal for dog walking.

Important: Always remember, the area holds a large population of deer and farm stock which roam freely in many places - please keep your dog under control at all times, do not let them worry farm stock. Also, please clean up after your dog - there are dog bins in Kyleakin.
