This romantic bolthole in the rolling hills of mid-Wales creates a perfect spot for some countryside bliss with your partner and pet. It’s in a rural spot 2 miles from the village of Llanilar, and 8 miles from the west coast. You’ll be surrounded by pretty pathways and excellent views, offering plenty of pet-pleasing walking opportunities. With space for two – in either a super-king bed or split into twin beds – it’s just right for a solo traveller, a couple or a duo of friends.
An attractive stone exterior gives this bungalow a rustic look, and the traditional touches continue inside with wooden ceiling beams and a cosy wood burner for keeping you and your canine chums warm. In the open-plan living area, you can relax with a film or a book while your pet dozes off on the rug. You’ll want to soak your limbs in the hot tub after long days exploring, and if it’s fine, why not enjoy drinks and food on the decking – there’s even a BBQ for some relaxed holiday sizzling. When they’re not bugging you for a sausage or two, your pets can chow down on their holiday bones or sleep off the day’s adventures nearby.
You’ll be 8 miles from the Georgian seaside town of Aberystwyth, where you can take your pets for a run around on the beach (some dog restrictions apply) followed by a scenic trip up the cliff railway. From here, you can take your pets on a steam train to the majestic Devil’s Bridge Falls (11.5 miles). Llanrhystud Beach (12 miles), which is sandy at low tide, is fully dog friendly. For some scenic rambling, head north to Snowdonia/Eryri National Park (25 miles) where you can hike up peaks and explore deep forests with your furry companion.
