Holiday in style at this detached barn conversion in pretty south-west Wales. It’s in a rural spot 350 metres from the nearest pub, and 2.5 miles from the charming seaside village of New Quay, which features a dog-friendly beach your pet can run free on. There’s a wood-fired hot tub for soaking tired limbs after long days of exploration, and a large, enclosed garden which is perfect for dogs and children to play in. This spacious property accommodates up to eight humans and one doggie chum, so is excellent for a multi-generational family trip or large group of friends.
The inside of this four-storey accommodation is light and airy for a pleasant and welcoming feel. You’ll soon notice the living area and super-modern area in the eaves, creating a lovely space with a high vaulted ceiling, sofa space for relaxation and a large rug for the dog to lie on. On warm evenings you can create a feast on the BBQ and enjoy al fresco meals while your pet hounds you for leftover burgers. Another option for enjoying the fresh air and views is the balcony, accessed through the lounge.
In nearby New Quay, head to a dog-friendly pub and follow in the footsteps of world-famous Welshman Dylan Thomas, who lived here in the 1940s and spent much time in the local inns when he wasn’t penning poetry. Cei Bach (3.5 miles), just north of New Quay, has a sandy beach where you can walk for miles with the dogs at low tide. For long, satisfying walks through the pretty Welsh countryside, join the Wales Coastal Path at New Quay and let your pet lead the way over clifftops and through farmlands to Aberaeron (7 miles).
