April is National Pet Month, and with 13.5million pet dogs* in the UK – that’s at least 36% of all households – what better way to treat your four-legged family members than with a 5-star, dog-friendly stay at SCHLOSS Roxburghe?
A beautiful historic manor house set in the elegant countryside of the Scottish Borders, SCHLOSS Roxburghe is one of the most pet-friendly hotels in the country. Where else can your dog enjoy treats whipped up by a chef from a dedicated doggy menu, including Yappertizers such as ‘Tail Wagging Eggs’ with a mix of scrambled eggs, ham, carrots, and lavish ‘Poochie Poultry’ with poached chicken breast, carrots broccoli and gravy. The hotel not only offers dog-friendly rooms (which include individual baskets and rugs and homemade treats for your pooch) but dogs are also welcome in hotel restaurant Charlie’s, as well as in the bar, the drawing room for Afternoon Tea, guest lounges, golf course and clubhouse.
SCHLOSS Roxburghe is also an ideal base for dog-walking, as it’s perfectly situated in over 300 acres of land to explore, including a woodland walk and riverside strolls by the River Teviot. On the hotel’s doorstep, the Scottish Borders offers up hundreds of miles of forests and woodland, lochs and rivers. After you’ve been out making the most of the countryside, you can wash any muddy paws with the dedicated doggy shower in the Gun Room.
“At SCHLOSS Roxburghe we know that for many dog-owners, travelling without their pets just isn’t an option – either they’re unable to find a suitable pet-sitting service, or they just don’t feel right leaving their dogs at home while they travel,” says Marketing Manager Michael Mann. “We’ve gone to great lengths to make SCHLOSS Roxburghe one of the dog-friendliest hotels in Scotland, with a carefully crafted menu for canine friends, acres of woodland to explore, and manicured lawns to unwind on.
“Here, dogs are welcome throughout the grounds and in the communal areas and restaurants. We’re very clear in advance with guests that they should expect to see dogs throughout the hotel, and our dog-owning guests are respectful of other guests’ preferences (as well as the furniture!).”
