The place
This part of Wales is beyond scenic, with mountains soaring up in the distance wherever you look. You’re not far from Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park for some adventures, either. So, if the dog’s a fan of a good hike, you’re in luck. Equally, if you’ve the little-legged kind of hound, there’s easy strolls to take along the coast and plenty of market towns to explore. When you’re not out and about, you might be back at your space enjoying lunch in the garden when the sun’s out, watching a merry dog prance about on the grass – or if the weather’s not playing ball, there’s space for all the guests to eat in the modern kitchen. Whether you’ve spent the day being dragged up hills by an eager hound, or you’ve just taken easy wanders down the sands at the beach, two- and four-legged guests will find themselves ‘just resting their eyes’ by the fire at the end of the day.
In the neighbourhood
- Walk from the door: Dylan’s Cricieth, 6-minute drive: Dylan’s is a famed spot to eat in North Wales, and this spot’s one of four to dine at. With local ingredients from homegrown suppliers, the food’s not something to miss. And, of course, you can bring along the hound.
- Harlech Beach, 24-minute drive: There are a few closer beaches, but with limited restrictions, sand dunes, a nature reserve and SSSI – it’s one not to miss. Head over to see one of the cleanest beaches in Snowdonia.
- Prince of Wales Pub, 6-minute drive: Exactly the kind of low-beamed, tankard from the ceiling, folk music session sort of pub you’d want for a hearty pint and a good time. Welcomes dogs and people.
