For a memorable Welsh jaunt, stay at this single-storey home with fantastic views over the sea, hills and vibrant seaside town of Barmouth (2.5 miles). It’s in an elevated spot so you can wake up to pure beauty every day, before taking your pet on picturesque walks weaving through the local scenery. Barmouth has a bustling harbour along with a lively mix of shops, cafes and dog-friendly pubs to explore with your pet. With three bedrooms and space for one lucky pet, this property is wonderful for holidays among adventure-seeking family or friends.
On arrival at this characterful 1920s property, you’ll find a warm, welcoming space with original wooden panelling throughout. Gather round the table in the spacious kitchen/diner, or kick back in the separate lounge, which has comfortable seating and a toasty wood burner for your pet. Spectacular views from the large picture window make this room feel special, while a sheltered veranda means you can enjoy the fresh air in any weather. There are three lovely bedrooms – two doubles and a twin – plus a roomy shower room and a handy extra WC in the utility porch. Outside, dogs and children alike will adore the large, enclosed garden, which has a gravel patio, outdoor seating and a firepit BBQ – perfect for sundowner sausages and toasted marshmallows. Private parking is available for three cars in a nearby layby.
Nearby, take your pet to sniff out the Wales Coast Path or head 14 miles inland to Coed-y-Brenin Forest Park for dog-friendly trails through woodland and waterfalls. At Barmouth, hop aboard a dolphin-spotting boat trip from the harbour or catch the train to Harlech (10.5 miles), where a dramatic World Heritage castle awaits (dogs on leads welcome on the ground floor).
