Bearsden can anchor a quieter day of Roman history and lochside paths, with your overnight stay in Glasgow’s West End. That distinction matters: neither researched hotel is in Bearsden itself. Visit the bath-house remains and Kilmardinny as separate short outings, then return to the city for the evening. This is a Bearsden-focused break with nearby accommodation, rather than a list of hotels claimed to be in the town.

Dog access can depend on the room or accommodation you choose. Confirm the exact dog arrangements before you pay.
Glasgow Grosvenor quotes a £25 one-off stay charge and limited pet rooms by prior confirmation. Hotel du Vin allows up to two small or medium dogs and quotes £25 for one nightly, but its two-dog policy contains conflicting £40 and £50 amounts. Agree the total and meal space directly before choosing either hotel.

THE DETAILS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Nearby hotels are clearly outside Bearsden
Both addresses are in Glasgow’s West End, so this choice depends on your willingness to travel.
Dining and supervision go together
Neither hotel allows unattended dogs; agree an acceptable meal space before booking.
Your Bearsden questions
Are the Glasgow hotels in the Bearsden guide actually in Bearsden?
No. Both researched hotels are in Glasgow’s West End: Hotel du Vin is at One Devonshire Gardens and Glasgow Grosvenor is at 1-9 Grosvenor Terrace. Bearsden remains the destination for the Roman bath-house and Kilmardinny outing, so plan the drive or public transport separately rather than treating either hotel as a town-centre base.
Can a dog stay alone or join dinner at Hotel du Vin Glasgow?
No unattended stays: Hotel du Vin’s current dog policy says dogs must not be left alone in the room. It allows at most two small-to-medium dogs per room, requires a lead or carrier outside the bedroom and excludes dogs from the main dining room. Alternative dining areas depend on the individual hotel, so arrange dinner and any room attendance directly before booking.
The hotel requires prior confirmation of a pet room and charges £25 per stay. Dogs cannot be left unattended anywhere in the hotel; on a short lead they may use public areas except Bo’Vine Restaurant and event spaces. Plan a dog-friendly meal arrangement instead of assuming the dog can wait in the room.
How much does Hotel du Vin Glasgow charge for two dogs?
Confirm the total with One Devonshire Gardens before booking. Its linked dog-policy page lists £40 per night for two dogs and also a “Dog Pack for 2 dogs: £50” without explaining whether that is an alternative or what period it covers. The same policy caps a room at two small-to-medium dogs; do not choose a total from the ambiguous price lines alone.
How long is the Bearsden walk around Kilmardinny Loch?
The council describes Craigdhu Way as a 3 km route through Bearsden that includes a circuit of Kilmardinny Loch and nature reserve. It is a walking and cycling route, not a dog-specific permission statement: use responsible Scottish access, keep your dog controlled around other path users and wildlife, and follow any local signs.
