Pet Friendly Holiday in Wales

Going on holiday as a family is never the same without your family pet. If you are planning your holiday – why don’t you take your pet with you? After all, doesn’t your best friend deserve to come along too? If you want to take your dog – or even your cat on holiday with you, there are plenty of places around Britain that offer pet friendly environment. There are dog friendly and cat friendly holidays in cottages, guesthouses and hotels. Of course campsites and caravan parks are often a popular choice with pet owners.


Pet Friendly Walking Holiday Cottages in Wales

Bwthyn y Saer (the carpenter’s cottage) and Ty Cerbyd (the coach house) are four star self-catering holiday cottages in the Swansea valley. They are two of many holiday cottages which are waiting to welcome your dog!

Nestled on the slope of a gentle mountain overlooking the scenic valley town of Pontardawe, the farm cottages are surrounded by 100 acres of rolling farmland. With open hillsides, rivers, farmland, forest and mountains at your doorstep, your dog will feel like he is on holiday too! Your dogs will love the open space, the exciting new smells and the acres of new territory to explore. The countryside surrounding to cottages is ideal for dogs, with secluded paths, riverside woods and forestry trails.

There are handy outdoor taps to wash your pet’s muddy paws after that soggy hillside walk and both cottages feature their own enclosed lawns.

The cottages are just a few miles away from the sandy beaches of the Gower, if your pet wants to put his paws in the water, or there are the numerous mountain trails to follow on Mynydd Marchhywel (Hywel’s Mountain) directly behind the accommodation. From the top, a clear day gives panoramic views out to Swansea Bay and Mumbles. You can enjoy taking your dog on an exploratory walk up the mountain following the Plas Farm Trail, or perhaps further afield on one of the many trails in the Brecon Beacons.

The surcharge per pet is £20 per week – far more economical than boarding your pet in a kennels. We ask that pets are never left in the cottages unattended, as this can cause your pet anxiety. Around sheep and cows, we advise pets are kept on a lead.

This year, when you’re packing for your holiday – don’t forget the dog bed, bowls and biscuits.
