Once a coaching inn on the journey between Inverness and Edinburgh, the Meikleour Arms has been revamped into a gorgeous boutique hotel and restaurant.
Dog owners will appreciate the peaceful atmosphere, space under the tables, bowls of water, healthy treats and fabulous pre- or post-lunch walks. There are beautiful strolls throughout the vast estate – through North Wood or along Meikleour river – so dogs can run wild and get muddy (a hose and towel are available if needed).
