Dog Days AwayGOOD DAYS. TOGETHER.
Clackmannanshire · Scotland · Town · Countryside
Tillicoultry suits a foothills break where the first decision is how far to walk, not how high to climb. Use a short Devon Way outing as the main plan, with a separate trip towards Dollar if you want a change of scenery. The Bridge Inn offers hotel accommodation; the Mews is a first-floor apartment. The Ochils photograph sets the scene without committing you to a hill summit.

A BASE FOR YOUR BREAK
Dog access can depend on the room or accommodation you choose. Confirm the exact dog arrangements before you pay.
The Bridge Inn’s current booking listing permits pets with possible charges. The Mews lists pets free of charge, but dog limits and supervision still need agreement. An apartment gives meal flexibility; at the inn, confirm where the dog can join you for food rather than assuming every public room welcomes pets.

GOOD DAYS OUT, TOGETHER
Use the council walking leaflet to pick a short out-and-back along the former railway route. There is no need to complete its longer linked circuits.
Keep dogs controlled around walkers and cyclists. Longer loops have road and muddy sections; check signs and turn back where needed.
Official visitor informationFor a more strenuous second outing, travel to Dollar and choose a glen section suited to conditions. Skip it if you prefer an easier break.
Close control around livestock; steep, uneven and slippery woodland paths. This is a separate excursion, not a level continuation of the Devon Way.
Official visitor informationAN UNHURRIED COUPLE OF DAYS
Confirm your room or apartment access, then take an easy-length out-and-back before dinner. Save a longer walk for a day when everyone has energy.
Enjoy another Devon Way section or travel separately to Dollar Glen in suitable weather. Do not attempt an unfamiliar hill route simply because the Ochils are nearby.
A suggested plan, not a booked itinerary. Adapt it to your dog, the weather and current access.
THE DETAILS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE
The Mews is first-floor accommodation; request room access details from the inn too.
The council leaflet combines several routes. Use its map to identify your intended start and return.
Its current Booking.com listing says pets are allowed, with charges possibly applying. The inn’s own site lists its rooms and facilities but does not publish detailed dog terms. Before booking, contact the inn to confirm that your dog can use the exact room, plus the charge, dog limit, meal access and supervision rules.

The current property listing says pets are allowed at no extra charge. It does not state a dog-number or size limit, so ask the host to confirm your dog and house rules before paying.

No step-free route is stated: the listing places the one-bedroom apartment on the first floor at the top of the stairs. Check the stairs with the host if your dog has mobility needs.
