Gareloch Cottage is a cosy dog friendly cottage and we welcome one well behaved small-medium sized dog due to the size of the property.
The house is set up to accommodate your furry friend and we have a few guest doggy products your pet is welcome to use during your stay.
Whilst the back garden is private and surrounded by shrubbery, we ask that your dog is kept on a lead at all times as there is no gate at the front entrance.
Argyll and Bute is a fantastic location to holiday with your pet and we’ve put together some dog friendly suggestions for your stay.
Walks right on our doorstep
Directly across the road from Gareloch Cottage is the shingle beach which you can walk your dog on when the tide is out.
Clynder Woodland and Kilcregan Circular
Another great local route from our house is around the tip of the Rosneath peninsula with brilliant views across the Argyll hills, Gare Loch and the Firth of Clyde, right down to the Isles of Bute and Arran. Dogs are welcome and may be off-lead in some areas. The best times to visit this trail are April through September.
Hill Walks
Locally there are lots to choose from including Highlandman’s Road, Three Lochs way and Bouie.
Seafront
The centre of Helensburgh just five miles from the house has a lovely seafront promenade that runs from the centre out to Kidston park. Again make sure you keep a lead on as it’s near a busy road.
Parks
Hermitage Park, Helensburgh has paved paths
Run Free Dog Field Cardross
Bark in the Park Dog field in Helensburgh
Retail
Loch Lomond Shores, Balloch. This is the gateway to Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park and is set in stunning scenery on the banks of Loch Lomond. Many of their shops allow dogs to be taken in whilst you browse but it’s probably a good idea to Google first to find out more.
