Dog Days AwayGOOD DAYS. TOGETHER.Moray · Scotland · Town · Countryside
Forres offers a green-space break that can stay local or reach the Moray coast. Grant Park and Cluny Hill provide a flexible first outing, while a selected coast-trail section towards Findhorn makes a separate day. Reiver House is a town B&B; Tullochwood’s self-catering lodges are at Rafford outside Forres. The lodge woodland is attractive for dogs, but it is not an enclosed private garden.

No. Tullochwood says the lodges do not have enclosed private gardens. Guests can use 28 acres of woodland and a marked walk beginning on site, but this is natural woodland rather than an enclosed exercise area.

The operator says a settled, crate-trained dog may be left in its crate for a few hours; a calm dog that reliably settles may also be left for a few hours without one. Dogs likely to worry in unfamiliar surroundings should go out with you.

Reiver House permits up to two dogs per room for a nominal fee. The operator does not publish the amount on its current page, so ask before booking; it accepts bookings through its online form.
