A suggested list of hotels and cottages that are dog friendly on the NC500.
Please note: at the time of writing (September 2025) the information below was correct. Please check with the hotel or cottage directly to confirm that they are still dog-friendly before making a booking. We have not stayed at all of these hotels, so please use this list as a guide rather than a personal recommendation.
