Pet Friendly Places to Stay in Ayr, Scotland
Isn′t it great when you go on a vacation to somewhere you have never visited before? Do you find yourself getting excited thinking about arriving in a new place to enjoy some free time? Did you know that pets too can enjoy (and benefit from) a break away from home? Increasing numbers of folk are choosing to take their pet with them on vacation and if you visit a place such as the city of Ayr in Scotland you begin to appreciate the many advantages (for you an your pet) such a place has over other cities in the UK. Unfortunately it isn′t very easy finding pet friendly accommodation so I have listed a few Ayr hotels, that allow pets, below.
Situated on the beautiful south west coast of Scotland, the pretty town of Ayr attracts a great deal of visitors year after year. The majority of folk arrive in search of places to visit relating to the world renowned, and Scottish National Poet, Robert Burns. There are a multitude of places in Ayr in which the bard spent some time or to which there are strong associations with him and most are well worth a visit. The best way in which to gain an understanding of the man, his life and his poetry is to visit the surrounding area where you will find many more places relating to him and a host of statues and other monuments dedicated to him.
The general area around Ayr is called the county of Ayshire for which the town serves as the main center (administrative). Overall the county consists of lovely lush and green rural and agricultural land and unspoiled coast and beaches. The lack of pollution is immediately apparent with fresh country smells and crystal clear water, just perfect for you and your pet. Animals love both the countryside and the seaside and as you both explore you may start to suffer from a little deja vu. The fact is that this fantastic part of Scotland is incredibly popular with movie makers and countless number of local places have appeared in numerous works including the mystical cult British masterpiece called “The Wicker Man″. The Wickerman Festival is held just down the road at the end of July each year, it is a family friendly music and arts festival which is growing in size and popularity and I can not recommend it enough.
Although not far away the Wickerman Festival is actually in the next county, Dumfires and Galloway. However, if you are planning to visit you could just as easily stay in pet friendly accommodation in Ayr or Ayrshire. If you do decide to bring a pet on vacation please take the utmost care to ensure there is no damage to your room. Few hotels and guest houses allow pets and if they have a bad experience they may stop allowing them in future.
3 Pet Friendly Hotels
Swallow Station Hotel
This town center pet friendly hotel is pretty big as it has 73 rooms. The three star hotel has a restaurant and bar and has rooms/facilities for disabled visitors. It is superbly located next to Ayr Train Station and only 10 minutes (by road or rail) from Glasgow Prestwick International Airport. This establishment does not charge extra for pets.
The Horizon Hotel
Another centrally located pet friendly hotel the Horizon offers 3 star accommodation in a considerably smaller establishment (25 rooms). No extra charges incurred for pets. Excellent views over towards the Isle of Arran.
The Savoy Park Hotel
The fifteen room Savoy Park is a tiny bit further away from the very center of town but still within minutes of it. Offering 3 star pet friendly accommodation this excellent family-run hotel also gives a free internet connection (broadband) to each room and there is no extra charge for pets.
Pet Friendly Guest Houses In Ayr
Canter Holm Guest House
Canter Holm has six 3 star pet friendly rooms within minutes from the town center. Unfortunately this is the only accommodation in Ayr which states that there may be extra charges for pets.
Grange View Guest House
The 3 star, 3 roomed, Grange View gives extremely friendly (the owners will make golf bookings etc. for you), pet friendly, accommodation which is just a couple of minutes from the very center of Ayr. No extra charges for pets.
Far, far too few guest houses and hotels in Ayr allow pets. This is such a great shame as fewer places rival the town as a suitable destination for a vacation with a pet. Obviously with so few pet friendly places it is important to make your booking at the first opportunity and, if you manage to book a room, please have a thoroughly enjoyable vacation.
