Two dogs are welcome at this gorgeous Welsh holiday home with a view – they’ll love leading the way on long, satisfying walks along the Welsh Coast Path, accessible just 0.5 miles from your front door. Aberdovey is a wonderful place to spend a few days, with its welcoming pubs and four-mile-long golden sand beach (0.5 miles), which has sections that are dog-friendly all year round.
Once the staff house of Penhelig Lodge, the accommodation exudes old-world charm with period features like thick walls and an original fireplace. It’s been thoughtfully restored to create a homely atmosphere, starting with the welcoming lounge where sofas, a TV and a DVD player await. A multi-fuel stove helps you create a wonderful snooze spot for your pet. Head through an open archway, to reach the kitchen/diner, which is well-equipped for meal preparation. The cottage sits on a steep slope, offering truly spectacular views. Please watch out for pets and children in the unenclosed garden space, which is set across two tiers – the top one being yours only and rest of the garden shared. Patio and garden furniture sets you up for sunny relaxation with your furry friend lounging on the grass.
The town is accessible via a steep path down to Aberdovey village. Locally, you can immerse yourself in the friendly local atmosphere, enjoy fresh seafood at dusk or engage in crabbing and various water sports with your pet nearby. Aberdovey’s location at the southernmost tip of Snowdonia National Park makes it wonderful for hikers and explorers of both the canine and human variety – you’ll have numerous trails like Yr Horon, Panorama Walk and Llyn Barfog (Bearded Lake) starting right from your doorstep.
