The place
It sometimes feels like everyone has a dog in this part of Wales, so you’ll be welcome at almost every café and pub you find as you head out from Locke’s Cottage. The area is hilly, but within a mile and a half of the front door you have everything from lush green valleys to dramatic sea cliffs, so you don’t have to pack a day bag for a massive hike and you won’t end up carrying your whippet home when it’s run out of steam. Inside, the cottage is a mix of barn conversion and cabin, with an oak tree “growing” through the centre. The well-stocked library saves you bringing your own and you can easily find something to breeze through in a couple of lazy days. Outside you’ll find a firepit, which makes a great place to end the day whether you’ve worn yourselves out on the coastal path, sat on the beach or just wandered into nearby Llangrannog for lunch.
