Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Mainland

Two of us, plus our two dogs, had the Noddle to ourselves so we had plenty of room. It was exactly as described. Had everything you needed plus very comfy bed. It was lovely to have the fire going and also to sit in the conservatory which was so toasty. I even had a go at sketching and playing the piano! Emilys tea room is such an easy walk and we had a delicious supper with her plus coffee the morning we checked out. Thank you Tony.

This is a great location literally on the NC500. Quiet at night with stunning sunsets and sunrises. The bungalow has everything you need and it is lovely to sit in the sun lounge and relax after a day exploring. Garden is enclosed and safe for dogs. We were met on arrival by Steven and shown around. There are some stunning beaches locally and plenty to do for the three days we stayed. Highly recommend.

It had everything we hoped for fantastic location and greig was very accommodating.

This was a lovely house and a good base for exploring Caithness. The house was well equipped, the beds were very comfortable and the showers were hot. The house was lovely and warm to combat the chilly weather outside! Our hosts were friendly and check in / check out was simple. There was plenty of room for the 10 people in our party. Our children particularly enjoyed the sand dunes at Dunnet Bay and rock pooling at Ham Harbour - even in the rain. There was a nice walk from nearby Lybster Harbour along the cliff tops.

We absolutely loved our stay, the cottage was everything we wanted and looked for. Evelyn is a fantastic host and provides an amazing cottage to stay in. Immaculate, peaceful and the best location, only a few minutes from Stromness. We will be back.

A great place to stay for our mixed group of adults and children. The house was warm on arrival and very welcoming. We spent so much time in the kitchen / Dining room cooking meals and playing board games.

A one-of-a-kind stay in an unparalleled location! We so enjoyed reading about the history of the kirk and its caretakers over the years; the island of Hoy is rich with hikes, views, museums, fresh air, and peaceful interludes. Worth the ferry trips to stay here! (Just be advised that if you’re coming at or after the end of September, or arriving on a Sunday, you’d do well to get groceries on the main island ahead of your visit bc there will be few to no options for food service on Hoy. We did and were so grateful we had!)

Wonderful stay on Westray. Lovely cottage, great location and kitted out with everything you need to be home from home. Host was really helpful and flexible.

This place is special. We had stayed before so we planned and had a bbq in the hut. I swear you could do it with snow on the ground and it would still be toasty inside. The chalet is so well designed with no space wasted. Blinking love it.

We loved our brief stay in this cosy cottage. Although small, it is thoughtfully kitted out with everything that could be required. The location is stunning - beautiful views of the clear turquoise waters and the hills behind. We met nothing but kindness and friendliness from the people of Hoy, and especially from Kathleen

We arrived early from the ferry and Jo very kindly let us in which we greatly appreciated. Very dog friendly with secure garden and also dog treats and water bowl which was a lovely touch. We enjoyed our stay and lovely walks on the beautiful beaches with the dogs. Thank you.

Really lovely cottage. It had everything we needed and was really comfortable. We stayed a couple of nights and it was a great base to tour around the area. Lisa was really helpful making sure we had everything we needed. Lovely!

Excellent host. Great place to stay. Exceeded our expectations. Found Fletts in Stromness for fresh fruit & veg. Steak pie was the best we have ever had.

We had short stay in the Crofters Snug but wished we could have stayed longer! Was lovely waking up to the sea views. Found it easily with the directions provided and our dog loved the enclosed play area. Our wee cabin was compact with everything we needed. Thanks for a lovely break!

We had an excellent stay at Adam Cottage. Its even nicer than the photos! The area is great as it is very accessible to lots of the Island-20 mins max to most places. Ross was very responsive and helpful to our initial queries and the welcome basket was lovely and very appreciated. We would highly recommend and would stay again. The Watson Family

The Croft is wonderful- well designed, beautifully decorated and furnished, highly functional and set in a wonderful location with walks from the doorstep. The owners clearly prioritise sustainability and environmental concerns. The green roof building sits within garden grounds that encourage biodiversity, with bright mixed flower & veg borders which guests are invited to use. The interior is equally generously, thoughtfully and ethically provisioned. This is sustainable holiday accommodation at its very best- a real delight and treat.

I'm finding it difficult to put into words what being a guest at Cantick Head was like. Magical, inspiring, cozy, peaceful, safe. The cottage is beyond charming. It was tastefully decorated with little bits of history scattered about. It was absolutely spotless clean with comfortable beds and linens that smelled heavenly especially after a day of hiking the nearby trails. A nature and animal lovers paradise. Alan and his family go above and beyond to ensure you are happy. I found the experience to be quite moving and was saddened to leave. Alan is an example of what an outstanding Airbnb operator is and Cantick Head is a top notch accommodation. The price was very reasonable for the experience of being at Cantick Head. Overall, 11 out 10!

A fantastic stay from start to finish! The cabin was exactly as pictured, cleaned to a high standard and has everything you could need and more inside. Yvonne was a fantastic host who was very responsive and provided lots of recommendations for things to do and places to eat.

We enjoyed our stay at Katrina’s Airbnb, she responded very quickly to any questions and we felt very comfortable in the house!

Large newly built house in a stunning location. We enjoyed watching the swifts/swallows from the large windows, also views of Orkney. The hot tub and extra large bath was a very welcome addition. We would recommend staying here rather than John O Groats. Harrow harbour was in walking distance and was stunning . We enjoyed watching the seals here from afar. Also visited the most northerly point - Dunnet head with fantastic views. Took a wildlife boat ride from Wick and spotted puffins. Jay was very responsive and friendly to messages. Thanks Jay for a memorable wedding anniversary ❤️.

Beautiful cottage in a wonderful setting. We appreciated all the special touches - including the kettle pre boiled ready for arrival and the bottle of fizz! Kitchen brilliantly stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Marston Cabin is immaculately presented and a lovely place to come back to after a day in the Sanday fresh air. The homemade loaf of bread and cakes were much appreciated. It was very well equipped with everything you needed and the sitting area and the beds were very comfortable. Thank you. It was a lovely stay.

We had an excellent time at Miry Park. Our daughter was delighted to see all the animals and play on beaches. Jan and her husband were great to show us around, give advice or help out if needed. The tin tent was spotless clean and warm even in early April.

Beautiful location only stayed for one night due to our plans we could have stayed longer and if we return will definitely rebook
