Let your four-legged friend race about the garden and paddle in the river at this delightful Welsh hideaway in Llanuwchllyn. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom retreat is just 3 miles from the shores of Llyn Tegid, which is also known as Bala Lake. The cottage, which has private fishing rights, has a games room and a wood burner.
Head inside via the utility room, which has a WC, to dry your damp dog and put the towel into the machine. Wander through to the kitchen/dining room to feed hungry hounds and humans. Find everything you need in here to help you cook hearty feasts with the fresh produce you have sourced. While away your evenings together through in the airy, beamed lounge. Open the garden doors in here in summer so your faithful friend can pad outside, or light the wood burner in winter so everyone can bask in its cosy heat as they watch the Smart TV. Take your chum through to the conservatory, which has underfloor heating, as you relax on the soft seating here with a cup of tea. Open the French doors for some fresh air. Pat your pal goodnight at ground-floor level before heading upstairs to the bedrooms. These include a bunk bedroom, a king-size and a double. The family bathroom is also up here. Spend fine mornings out in the garden beside the River Lliw. Let your contented canine relax in the sunshine while you heat up the BBQ and the younger members of your party play in the games room.
Follow footpaths all around Llyn Tegid with your happy hound by your side. The entire route is 14 miles-long but you can pick and choose which sections to follow. Water-loving dogs are also welcome to paddle or swim in the picturesque lake.
