No Weight LimitGlenapp Castle Dog Friendly Review
Glenapp Castle holds an acceptable C Roch Rank. A number of rooms take dogs, up to three to a room, yours is welcome in the garden, and there is no weight limit. Dogs can be left alone in the room, the room comes with a dog bed, and dog walking can be arranged.
The dog fee is £49 per dog, per night. There are no treats, toys or poo bags, and staff have not been trained for canine guests. Dogs are kept out of the bar and the lounge, so the public rooms are not shared, though green spaces and parks are close by.
This is an acceptable stay for an owner travelling with more than one dog who wants the grounds, a dog bed and arrangeable walking, and who does not need the dog indoors at the table. A handsome country base for a settled dog.
