It’s hard to beat a national park for a dog-friendly holiday, and this delightful stone property makes a fantastic base for a Welsh rural adventure with your pet. It’s in Maentwrog, a quiet hamlet within Snowdonia National Park, with a pet-welcoming pub and a shop 0.5 miles away. With space for four guests and one dog, this cosy retreat is excellent for a family trip or two couples holidaying together.
On arrival, be sure to admire the quaint exterior of this charming cottage before stepping inside. The beautiful interior is decorated in an attractive period style to make you feel right at home. The lounge has an impressive inglenook fireplace and a wood burner to keep your pet’s fur warm as you watch a film on the Smart TV. In the kitchen, lap up the garden views as you make cups of tea and spoon out dinners for your hungry dog. The dining room overlooks the garden, making it a pleasant spot for savouring meals with fellow guests. When night falls, choose between two lovely double bedrooms (one of which has a 4’ double) and freshen up in the morning in the stylish shower room. Outside, your pet will love lounging in the lovely garden in good weather, and the front seating area and top terrace provide excellent spots for enjoying the fresh air with your pet.
The national park offers a plethora of activities you can enjoy with your dog nearby, such as walking, climbing, fishing and boating, all within a wow factor setting. The nearby Cwmorthin Waterfall (5 miles) is an excellent place to start. You could visit the nearby towns of Porthmadog (7.5 miles) and Blaenau Ffestiniog (5.5 miles) to wander around the shops and perhaps enjoy a quiet coffee in a dog-friendly café. The Italianate village of Portmeirion (6 miles), known for its architectural heritage and subtropical gardens, is also well worth the trip.
