All things dog
Our two Giant Schnauzers, Teddy and Daisy Duke, have travelled far and wide and know a thing or two about accommodation. Natalie and I also understand how important it is to be able to not only bring your doggy family member with you on holiday, but also for them to be made welcome and not just tolerated. Our aim is to make your dog feel as much at home on their holiday as we hope you do. We provide throws for furniture and towels for wet paws. We can also provide a dog bed if requested. Along with this we will leave a few special treats as a welcome for your dog.
Outside you will find a work in progress shower area to clean paws and tums and there are also bins identified around the parking area to deposit poop bags.
Our gardens are extensive, and you and your dog are welcome to roam without a lead. In addition to wild deer, red squirrels and numerous small and large birds, we have a large wildlife pond on the property which can be a little muddy so you may want to pop a lead on when walking around in that area. All we ask is that you pick up after your dog ensure that your dog is well behaved around other people and dogs.
There are many lovely walks in the area that you can take your dog on, however you will want to use a lead for any walk that passes through agricultural land. We have a lot of sheep with lambs in spring and cows with calves and the farmers do not like dogs to run freely through the livestock. There are also local beaches where you can let your dog off leash. Just ask us for recommendations or look in the Guest Information book in your room.
Please do not leave your dog unattended in your apartment unless he/she is crated.
There are several local pubs and restaurants that are dog friendly.
Send us a picture of your dog enjoying his/her holiday at Lonan House and we will add it to our gallery.
