Dogs stay free — Because they’re family

Your dogs are just as important as you are, and bringing them along shouldn’t mean compromising on comfort or luxury.

Here at Alpnhaus, your dogs stay free of charge with prior arrangement — up to two large or three small, well-behaved companions.

We know how frustrating it is to be charged extra when travelling with your dogs — we feel the same! That’s why, at Alpnhaus, we simply welcome them as part of your family.

And if your dogs are a little anxious, don’t worry, our dogs will just be our little secret, you won’t even see them.

Discover Alpnhaus — a peaceful, dog-friendly retreat for two in the Scottish Borders. Private hot tub, dark skies, and pure off-grid tranquility.
“Alpnhaus is truly dog friendly, not just somewhere that dogs can stay. It is great to come somewhere that is not only dog friendly but dog welcoming.”

Why Alpnhaus is the perfect dog-friendly retreat in the Scottish Borders

Hidden deep within the peaceful hills of the Scottish Borders, Alpnhaus is a place where you and your dog can truly unwind. Set within the ancient grounds of Singdean, this hand-crafted Alpine-style chalet offers the kind of quiet, natural beauty that feels a world away from everything — yet still within easy reach of Kielder, Jedburgh, and the Cheviots.

At Alpnhaus, dogs are not just allowed — they’re genuinely welcome. There’s space to roam, explore, and nap after long walks. Outside, wildlife and birdsong fill the air, and inside, you’ll find warmth, comfort, and total privacy.

Every stay includes a freshly prepared Alpine breakfast delivered to your door and your own private wood-fired hot tub, freshly filled with Scottish spring water. As evening falls, soak beneath vast, dark skies — with no light pollution and, often, the Milky Way above.

Whether you come to hike, stargaze, or simply rest, Alpnhaus is designed for peaceful, dog-friendly luxury. Just one chalet, just for you — and your four-legged friend.
