Forfar
with your dog.

Forfar suits a loch-and-farm escape with accommodation outside the town centre. Choose a farmhouse B&B at Inverarity or the adults-only Clova shepherd hut at Foresterseat, then plan a separate Forfar Loch outing. A prebooked standard Newton Farm tour can add something different on the second day, but a dog’s overnight welcome does not automatically cover every farm experience.

A BASE FOR YOUR BREAK

Dog-friendly places to stay in Forfar

Dog access can depend on the room or accommodation you choose. Confirm the exact dog arrangements before you pay.

Newton Farm offers one ground-floor family ensuite room for up to two dogs by arrangement, with the pet charge to confirm. Foresterseat identifies its Clova hut as pet-friendly with no additional dog charge, but does not publish a dog-number limit. The B&B includes a breakfast setting to discuss; the hut is self-catering and nearby restaurant admission is not assumed.

GOOD DAYS OUT, TOGETHER

Things to do around Forfar

01

Forfar Loch Country Park

Choose a manageable section or the approximately 2.5-mile circuit around the loch. A shorter out-and-back works just as well after a journey.

Keep dogs controlled around wildlife and other walkers, use a lead where needed and follow local notices. Play facilities have their own access rules.

02

Newton Farm standard tour

Prebook a standard farm tour and tell the operator that your dog will join you. This adds a different outing from the loch without assuming every animal experience is pet-compatible.

Dogs on leads for the standard tour, by advance arrangement. Follow the farmer’s directions around animals; other specialist experiences require separate approval.

AN UNHURRIED COUPLE OF DAYS

A short break that leaves room to pause

Day one · settle in and reach the loch

Check into the farmhouse room or named hut, then travel to Forfar Loch for a walk sized to your dog. Arrange dinner ahead of time, especially from a rural base.

Day two · farm visit or more loch

Join the booked standard farm tour if the dog arrangement is confirmed. Otherwise enjoy another short loch outing and a relaxed departure.

A suggested plan, not a booked itinerary. Adapt it to your dog, the weather and current access.

THE DETAILS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Good to know before you go

Choose the right stay format

Newton Farm is a hosted B&B; Clova is an adults-only shepherd hut. Neither is a central town hotel.

Keep farm activities separate from the room

A dog-friendly bedroom does not grant entry to every livestock or alpaca experience.

Your Forfar questions

Can children stay in the Clova hut?

Foresterseat markets its huts as adults-only; choose a different format for a family trip.

Can two dogs stay at Newton Farm B&B?

The operator welcomes up to two well-behaved dogs by prior arrangement.
