Fancy a dog-friendly trip to the Scottish coast with your pooch? Although St Andrews is probably most famous for its historic university and world-class golf courses, there’s a lot more to this lovely seaside town than first meets the eye. Local attractions include the remains of St Andrews Cathedral and St Andrews Castle, plus there are plenty of long-distance dog walks to be found along the scenic Fife Pilgrim Way.
We have a huge range of dog-friendly hotels in Scotland and all over the United Kingdom. Many offer free tasty doggy treats, water bowls and comfy dog beds to make sure your pet is as pampered as you are during your stay. Some of our dog-friendly hotels additionally have lovely grounds for your dog to enjoy a stroll around, while others are handily situated near local parks or dog-friendly beaches.
St Andrews West Sands Beach has a two-mile stretch of sand and dogs are allowed to zoom around on half of it throughout the year. The slightly quieter East Sands Beach and Tentsmuir Beach also offer great dog walking routes, so you’ll both get plenty of opportunities for exercise during your trip. Look through our range of comfy rooms, from budget-friendly to total luxury, and book your ideal dog-friendly stay in St Andrews today.
