Pet Policy
Our pet friendly holiday cottages and lodges in Oban, Argyll are situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty with beautiful walks direct from your door. Lerags glen is only three miles from the picturesque harbour town of Oban with lots of restaurants and bars also being pet friendly which makes this an ideal destination for dogs and any other suitable pets you want to bring on holiday!

Being able to bring pets on holiday takes much of the stress out of knowing what to do with them while you are away - no more pet kennels or having to get friends or neighbours to look after them for you. It is also much less stressful for your pet to come along and not have to face a week or fortnight of separation.

Argyll has an abundance of various types of walks available for you so you can take full advantage of all that this area has to offer; from low walks along Crinan canal, to numerous Forestry Commission marked walks and more strenuous walks including munro bagging mountain walks over 3000 feet so there is something for everyone.

We always ask our clients to be respectful of our cottages and lodges if they bring pets with them on holiday, and to ensure that the animal does not abuse the furnishings or outdoor spaces as this makes it much easier for us to continue to offer accommodation where dogs and other pets are allowed.

Lagnakeil is only three miles from Oban, the unofficial capital of the West Highlands. Oban means "little bay" in the old Gaelic tongue. This picturesque harbour town with its many attractions, shopping facilities and fine eating establishments is ideal for those wishing to relax and explore.
