Well behaved pets are welcome at Bonawe House, though we do make a charge of £10 per dog, and have a limit of 2 dogs per cottage, none at all in The Edwardian Wing (due to the polished wooden floors which are easily damaged by paws.)

There are several  good places to take your dog for a run:

between the Loch Etive piers (5 minute walk from house)
the Loch Etive front approached from the Inverawe Fisheries side (20 minute walk from house)
Tralee beach (10 minute Drive to Benderloch)

The area around Bonawe is wonderful for dogs, but obviously we do not want it spoilt for anyone else. Please ensure that you always remove any dog waste in the garden and courtyard (including the walled garden), using a plastic bag. Apparently the supermarkets sell a wonderful little device for this. We request this for two reasons;

  1. It allows all other guests to enjoy the gardens to their full extent.
  2. It avoids the risk of toxocariasis infection for children.

Please note:

The area around Bonawe is predominantly used for sheep farming, so ensure your dog is kept on a lead. Farmers loose stock every year due to dogs chasing and frightening lambs and sheep.
Please do not leave your pet unattended in your cottage at any time as recommended by the RSPCA.
We can provide you with our Dyson vacuum cleaner at any time during your stay, which will help to vacuum up hairs throughout your cottage.
