The Scottish Highlands is a great place to bring your dog on holiday, with so many choices for walking.
Dogs Stay for Free! We're dog friendly at Moniack Lodges and welcome up to two dogs in each of our self catering chalets at no extra charge.
Our Dogs’ Favourite Local Walk –
Just a short stroll away is Reelig Glen Tall Trees Trail: a popular, all abilities' walk of around 1 mile in the lower glen. Extra rambling areas can be found in the upper glen, uphill from the car park and also accessed from part way around the trail.

We have had some great reviews from previous guests - most mention that our lodge was very clean and well presented upon their arrival; we’d like your help in maintaining this high standard – therefore, if you are bringing your pet on holiday, we ask you to respect these few simple, common sense requests:
Some of the garden walls/fences may be low enough in height that dogs may be able to jump or climb over them. Affleck Lodge's water-side boundary is not fenced and Smithywood Lodge's waterside boundary is partially fenced, so dogs may be able to venture out into neighbouring gardens and the road and onto the adjacent fields which are used for sheep farming; therefore, dogs must be supervised and/or kept on a lead when in the garden - please observe the country code during your stay in the Scottish Highlands, especially in respect of livestock and farmland.
You are responsible for the safety of your dog and for ensuring that your dog does not cause damage to any furniture, fixtures, fittings or structures within the boundaries of the property.
