Dog Friendly Breaks
Fonab Castle is in a fantastic Pitlochry location to explore, and your family dog is welcome too!
Situated across the River Tummel from Pitlochry, the area is great for outdoor activities and exploring with your dog. Whether you take your dog along the Salmon Ladder or through the Faskally woodlands, the area is packed with forest and riverside dog walks. If you'd like to adventure further, Ben Vrackie offers breath-taking views across the town and beyond. There are plenty of outdoor spaces, walking routes and castles to explore on your next dog-friendly break in Perthshire.

Your Dog's Stay
Furry friends are welcome in the Woodland Lodge, Room, & Suites, along with the Lochside Lodge. These rooms are ideal for dog stays as they have patios or balconies with direct access to grassy areas.
We can accommodate a maximum of two dogs per room; if you wish to bring more, we recommend you call us in order to discuss further options.
In order to clean up the extra dog hairs left behind by your furry friend, we charge an additional £25 per dog, per evening.
