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.

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.

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.
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?
No. Foresterseat describes Clova as both pet-friendly and adults-only. It does not publish a maximum dog number on that page, so confirm the dog allocation and any charge directly when booking.
Yes. Newton Farm’s single ground-floor family room welcomes up to two well-behaved dogs. The page does not state a dog fee, so ask the hosts to confirm the total before booking.
Dogs may join the standard farm tour on a lead, but tell Newton Farm in advance and prebook: the farm is not open for unguided visits. Its Highland Cow experience and alpaca walking are specifically not dog-friendly.
No. ANGUSalive welcomes controlled dogs around Forfar Loch all year except in the children’s playpark. Follow any additional restriction signs around the park.
How long is the Forfar Loch circuit, and where can I park?
The circular path is 4 km (about 2½ miles). ANGUSalive says the park is open year-round and lists free parking beside the Ranger Centre and at Turfbeg on the loch’s north-east side. You can turn back sooner rather than complete the circuit.
