Dog Friendly Holidays in Mid Wales

In Mid Wales, your dog is not just tolerated. Dogs are part of the landscape here, the same way sheep are, and the same way muddy boots by the door are. Most accommodation welcomes them, most pubs let them in, and the walking is the kind that makes a dog's day every day you are here.

Where can I stay with my dog in Mid Wales?

Cottages are the most popular choice for dog owners. Many self-catering properties across the Brecon Beacons, Central Powys and Ceredigion welcome dogs, often two or more. Several B&Bs and small hotels are dog-friendly too, with bowls, towels and treat jars at reception. Some places even provide dog beds and crate space.

Holiday parks and glamping sites are generally more flexible than traditional hotels. If a listing does not mention dogs, ask directly. Many places accept dogs but have not updated their online listings to say so.

Where can I walk my dog in Mid Wales?

Everywhere, more or less. The Brecon Beacons have open access land where dogs can run freely outside lambing season (March to May, when leads are essential). The Ceredigion coast path is excellent for dogs, with beaches at Borth, Penbryn and Mwnt that allow dogs year-round. Inland, the Elan Valley, the Wye Valley and the forests above Machynlleth all have dog-friendly trails.

Keep dogs on leads near livestock. Farmers in Mid Wales rely on their sheep, and a dog worrying livestock is a serious matter. Stick to paths during lambing season and everyone stays happy.

Are pubs and restaurants dog-friendly?

Most country pubs in Mid Wales welcome dogs in the bar area. Some will bring a water bowl without being asked. Cafes are more variable, but many in the smaller towns and countryside locations allow dogs inside or have outdoor seating. In Crickhowell, Aberaeron and Llanwrtyd Wells, you will find dog-friendly food options without much trouble.
