Pet-friendly summary
Woodland Lodge Mither Tap is a private, peaceful hideaway near Inverurie in Aberdeenshire, and it turns out to be a near-faultless choice for a getaway with a dog. Guests travelling with dogs rate it exceptionally highly, drawn by the seclusion, the comfort and the sheer relaxation of the place.
The lodge's charm for dog owners lies in its private, self-contained feel: it is spacious, spotlessly clean and tucked into beautiful, quiet surroundings, with close parking and a real sense of having the place to yourselves. The showpiece is a private hot tub set on a sun-trap decking area, ideal for unwinding after a day's walking in the Bennachie countryside while the dog dozes nearby. Guests describe dogs loving the break as much as their owners, and the setting is a genuine draw for anyone wanting to get away from it all with a four-legged companion.
A few honest, practical notes. One guest found the bathroom cold and the shower temperature tricky to control, so it is worth a mention. Another sensible tip from a dog-owning guest: there is no outdoor washing line, so it is worth packing a travel clothes airer for drying off wet dog towels and gear. And as a well-used dog-friendly lodge, there may be the odd sign that dogs have stayed before, though guests take this in their stride given how welcoming it is.
It suits a couple travelling with a dog who want a private, peaceful Aberdeenshire retreat with a hot tub and lovely countryside walks close by, and who value seclusion and comfort over being close to town.
