Dog Days AwayGOOD DAYS. TOGETHER.
Perth and Kinross · Scotland · City
Perth offers a city break that can be as gentle as South Inch and the Tay, with Kinnoull Hill left as a separate choice. Parklands gives you a central hotel base; Huntingtower is outside the centre and changes the transport plan. Start with a short park outing, agree where your dog can join you for meals, and decide on hill paths only after checking conditions. A river-and-park weekend needs no steep climb to feel complete.

A BASE FOR YOUR BREAK
Dog access can depend on the room or accommodation you choose. Confirm the exact dog arrangements before you pay.
Parklands permits up to two dogs at £15 each nightly, with bar access but dining rooms excluded. Huntingtower also charges £15 per animal per night in limited pet-friendly rooms, whose allocation needs confirmation. Compare the central and outskirts settings as well as the charge, and ask about supervision and your dog’s size before paying.

Keep dogs controlled, respect play-area exclusions and signs, and take care near the river.
Official visitor informationSelect a woodland route for your dog’s fitness and current conditions. Some paths are easier, while hill sections are steeper and uneven.
Check council path notices, control dogs around wildlife and use a lead near steep edges. A summit outing is optional.
Official visitor informationAN UNHURRIED COUPLE OF DAYS
Settle into the dog room and take a short South Inch or Tay outing. Huntingtower guests should plan the trip into Perth.
Choose a suitable Kinnoull route if conditions suit, or enjoy another park-and-river day without a hill climb.
A suggested plan, not a booked itinerary. Adapt it to your dog, the weather and current access.
THE DETAILS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Huntingtower is a separate setting from the central Parklands hotel.
Parklands prohibits extended absences; confirm a workable arrangement instead of assuming a fixed number of hours.
Dogs are not permitted in Parklands’ dining area but are welcome in the hotel bar. The hotel charges £15 per dog per night, allows up to two dogs per room and asks guests to declare dogs when booking.

No. The central South Inch and Tay-side outing is a gentler alternative in the guide. Kinnoull Hill is a separate choice with varied paths; Perth and Kinross Council says some are suitable for all abilities, so choose a route to suit your dog rather than treating the viewpoint climb as essential.

The council says fairly level paths lead around the park from Jubilee Car Park near Deuchny Burn. Corsiehill Quarry Car Park is at the base of a steep climb to the viewpoint. Check the council’s current path-closure notice before setting out.

It is on Crieff Road, outside central Perth; Leonardo describes it as about five minutes from Perth. Its current FAQ lists a £15 nightly fee per animal and asks guests to confirm breed or size considerations. Pet rooms are limited and subject to availability, so confirm one before booking.

Perth and Kinross Council says it keeps mown paths through some long-grass areas to allow dog walking and visitors to experience nature. The approach is flexible, so follow the paths and any site information rather than assuming every area is cut short.
