West Coast Cottages - Dog Friendly Self Catering Holidays in Oban, Argyll and Bute

West Coast Cottages is a collection of self catering holiday homes set amid the rolling hills of Lerags Glen, conveniently located just three miles from the harbour town of Oban in Argyll. Managed by a local team committed to showcasing the Highlands, the company welcomes families, groups and dog owners year-round. Guests enjoy a warm Highland welcome and the freedom to explore scenic coastal routes, nearby islands and mountain trails at their own pace.

Accommodation
Accommodation comprises a diverse selection of self catering properties to suit solo travellers, couples, families and larger groups. Choose from cosy one-bedroom cottages tucked into wooded glens to grand farmhouses accommodating up to eight guests. Many properties come with private hot tubs and saunas, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. All units include fully equipped kitchens, comfortable living areas and flexible arrival times, with short break options available throughout the year.

Dog Friendly
Several of the cottages are designated dog-friendly, allowing guests to bring well-behaved pets at a charge of £5 per night per animal. To ensure a comfortable stay for all visitors, dogs are welcome in communal living spaces but must not be allowed on furniture or beds. A refundable security deposit is pre-authorised 48 hours before arrival and released within two days of departure, provided no extra cleaning is required. Owners should bring their own pet bedding and respect per-property limits on the number of dogs allowed.

Facilities
In addition to inviting living spaces, each property offers dedicated laundry facilities, including a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as an iron and ironing board (properties without a dryer are supplied with a clothes horse or line). Arrival is seamless with a coded key safe system, allowing guests to check in independently at any hour. For guests requiring accessibility, Feochan Bheag provides assisted wheelchair access. Detailed directions and key safe codes are sent to guests upon receipt of the final balance payment.

Location
Positioned where maritime culture meets mountain landscapes, West Coast Cottages provides straightforward access to the attractions of Oban – known as the ‘Gateway to the Isles’. Explore local shops, seafood restaurants and the ferry terminal linking to the Inner Hebrides. Closer to home, a network of walking trails, historic castles and wildlife-watching spots await. After a day of discovery, guests return to peaceful accommodation set against the backdrop of glens and distant peaks, enjoying the authentic charm of Argyll and Bute.

Whether you are planning a multi-generational family holiday, a getaway with friends or a dog-friendly escape, West Coast Cottages delivers flexible self catering stays throughout the year.
