Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Mainland

The Noddle is in a fantastic location, a short distance from the ferry and quite central on the island of Hoy & South Walls. There was only 2 of us and dogs, so it would be excellent for families & friends, but the space was great. Well equipped kitchen for cooking and baking, the lunch was bright, but the light in the conservatory was so good, comfortable day bed for relaxing, reading, drawing and soaking up the view. We took wood with us for the fire, but didn't use it as the house was lovely and warm. The garden was lovely, easy access to the burn and beach. walking distance to 'Emily's' tearoom, where we had an excellent dinner, great for special occasions (booking recommended), also walked to Scapa Flow visitor centre for lunch (quite basic). There's a lovely cafe at top end of Hoy, Beneath'ill, recommended if you are going to Rackwick - amazing beach. Been to Hoy a few times, loved our week at The Noddle. Tony was quick to respond to any queries. We'll be back.

This is a great location literally on the NC500. Quiet at night with stunning sunsets and sunrises. The bungalow has everything you need and it is lovely to sit in the sun lounge and relax after a day exploring. Garden is enclosed and safe for dogs. We were met on arrival by Steven and shown around. There are some stunning beaches locally and plenty to do for the three days we stayed. Highly recommend.

It had everything we hoped for fantastic location and greig was very accommodating.

This was a lovely house and a good base for exploring Caithness. The house was well equipped, the beds were very comfortable and the showers were hot. The house was lovely and warm to combat the chilly weather outside! Our hosts were friendly and check in / check out was simple. There was plenty of room for the 10 people in our party. Our children particularly enjoyed the sand dunes at Dunnet Bay and rock pooling at Ham Harbour - even in the rain. There was a nice walk from nearby Lybster Harbour along the cliff tops.

We absolutely loved our stay, the cottage was everything we wanted and looked for. Evelyn is a fantastic host and provides an amazing cottage to stay in. Immaculate, peaceful and the best location, only a few minutes from Stromness. We will be back.

A great place to stay for our mixed group of adults and children. The house was warm on arrival and very welcoming. We spent so much time in the kitchen / Dining room cooking meals and playing board games.

A one-of-a-kind stay in an unparalleled location! We so enjoyed reading about the history of the kirk and its caretakers over the years; the island of Hoy is rich with hikes, views, museums, fresh air, and peaceful interludes. Worth the ferry trips to stay here! (Just be advised that if you’re coming at or after the end of September, or arriving on a Sunday, you’d do well to get groceries on the main island ahead of your visit bc there will be few to no options for food service on Hoy. We did and were so grateful we had!)

Lovely cosy cottage with a good range of provisions, friendly village with shops, beautiful beaches, interesting walks and birdlife, and wonderfully quiet. Elizabeth is a very friendly and welcoming host.

This place is special. We had stayed before so we planned and had a bbq in the hut. I swear you could do it with snow on the ground and it would still be toasty inside. The chalet is so well designed with no space wasted. Blinking love it.

These pods were perfect for our family. It's about 15 minutes to John O' Groats and plenty to do around the area. Gillian sent recommendations for things to do and places to eat around the area which was super helpful. My son befriended the sheep that are in the field next door and spent hours out there feeding and petting them. Gillian also offers a range of extras to purchase including a BBQ package and grill kit which was all very delicious. Overall we had a great time and would recommend these pods to our friends!

We loved our brief stay in this cosy cottage. Although small, it is thoughtfully kitted out with everything that could be required. The location is stunning - beautiful views of the clear turquoise waters and the hills behind. We met nothing but kindness and friendliness from the people of Hoy, and especially from Kathleen

We arrived early from the ferry and Jo very kindly let us in which we greatly appreciated. Very dog friendly with secure garden and also dog treats and water bowl which was a lovely touch. We enjoyed our stay and lovely walks on the beautiful beaches with the dogs. Thank you.

Really lovely cottage. It had everything we needed and was really comfortable. We stayed a couple of nights and it was a great base to tour around the area. Lisa was really helpful making sure we had everything we needed. Lovely!

Excellent host. Great place to stay. Exceeded our expectations. Found Fletts in Stromness for fresh fruit & veg. Steak pie was the best we have ever had.

We had short stay in the Crofters Snug but wished we could have stayed longer! Was lovely waking up to the sea views. Found it easily with the directions provided and our dog loved the enclosed play area. Our wee cabin was compact with everything we needed. Thanks for a lovely break!

We had an excellent stay at Adam Cottage. Its even nicer than the photos! The area is great as it is very accessible to lots of the Island-20 mins max to most places. Ross was very responsive and helpful to our initial queries and the welcome basket was lovely and very appreciated. We would highly recommend and would stay again. The Watson Family

Absolutely amazing. Beautiful view of the beach and surrounding area. We got lucky and saw the northern lights! The place was super cozy. Loved the extra effort the hosts put in to make sure we had everything we needed, which included a dog bed, doggy treats and board games. The Christmas tree and bottle of Prosecco were a much appreciated bonus. I will definitely be recommending this place to my friends.

Our stay at the hen hoose was excellent, the location was great and we thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing weekend. Yvonne was very helpful, supplying a BBQ on request, letting us know where we could charcoal and checking we had settled in. Check in and check out was super easy and stress free. We’ll be back!

Very comfortable accommodation; large lounge area with big comfy sofa, well equipped/clean kitchen, big garden perfect for dogs. The heating system is excellent and brought up the room temperature really quickly, would be especially brilliant in winter I imagine. Good location only 15 mins from John O’Groats.

Amazing place with a gorgeous view and hot tub! A must stay place!

Beautiful cottage in a wonderful setting. We appreciated all the special touches - including the kettle pre boiled ready for arrival and the bottle of fizz! Kitchen brilliantly stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Marston Cabin is immaculately presented and a lovely place to come back to after a day in the Sanday fresh air. The homemade loaf of bread and cakes were much appreciated. It was very well equipped with everything you needed and the sitting area and the beds were very comfortable. Thank you. It was a lovely stay.

We had an excellent time at Miry Park. Our daughter was delighted to see all the animals and play on beaches. Jan and her husband were great to show us around, give advice or help out if needed. The tin tent was spotless clean and warm even in early April.

Beautiful location only stayed for one night due to our plans we could have stayed longer and if we return will definitely rebook
