Dog friendly holiday parks in Scotland

Why not take your dog on a Celtic adventure to Scotland? At our Craig Tara park you and your furry friend can stroll along the Firth of Clyde coastline and gaze out to the mountains of Arran south of the Hebridean peninsula. Like a sunset? This is the place to be.

Further to the east is Seton Sands, just as idyllic and within reaching distance of Edinburgh by car. If variety is what your dog yearns for, this park is perfect! All in all, Scotland with Haven is the definition of a dog friendly holiday.

A dog friendly experience made complete by Haven

Scotland is full of dog friendly days out close to our parks and further afield. At Craig Tara you’re just a short distance from the historic Culzean Castle, spectacularly positioned on the country’s west coast. Ayr’s South Beach and Prestwick Beach are perfectly positioned for a literal breath of fresh air, a brilliant place to spend quality time with your furry friend.

Seton Sands is only a short drive from Edinburgh, Scotland’s cultural and artistic hub. You’ll find Holyrood Park the go-to place for dog walkers. Sample a slower pace of Scottish life in Musselburgh, a cute market town positioned at the mouth of the Firth of Forth.

Both our Scottish parks provide dog friendly accommodation. With cleaning fees included in the price, your stay in Scotland will be dog-filled and hassle-free!
