Anybody got any recommendations as we are looking at going half term end of May and want somewhere obviously with good dog walking but also where there are dog friendly good pubs with decent food ( not just pub grub )

Hopefully we will be more successful than our attempt at going away before Chrimbo! We are NOT going to be placing an M & S order in this time !! :-D

Btw Aileen  how was the grub on New Years Day ?

Thanks
Lucy

Looking at the Map we are also considering around the Forest of Dean :-)

I would suggest staying the north side of the Cleddau river.  The South will be busier as this covers the busier tourist areas of Tenby and Saundersfoot.  The north will have quieter beaches and not too far to go into the Preselis, both of which will give some lovely walks.  I think that most pubs in the area will happily accept dogs.  Sorry but can't help with recomendations for cottages, but I'm sure that you will love your visit, of course I'm biased!

How many of you and how many dogs, I know some places on Gower

The grub was wonderfull, everyone at the party commented on it. Thanks you so much. XX
My two daughters live in South Wales, one in Brynamman and one in Felinfoel. Not sure about dog wals though as one has no dog and the other one takes hers 2 mins up the road to the mountains!!! The beaches are lovely though, one at Burry port we take our girls for a leg stretch if we go for a day. Beware there are lots of sheep and ponies running on the mountains!!!!! and some trigger happy farmers (Not that I blame then really, lots of damage done by loose dogs in that area :(

3 and 3 :-)

hard to get somwhere that will take 3 dogs unless you pay extortionate prices... I have just booked a cottage in cornwall for Sept  where dogs go free on... welcome cottages.http://www.welcomecottages.com/sites/welcomecottages/pages/home.aspx?clickcd=29200&gclid=CNKHt_3P_aYCFYEOfAodLFF3bA

A friend from the DRA website has a place in south wales which sounds prefect! They have 2 lovely Dobes and are happy to dog sit if you want to go off for the day on your own!

http://littledumpledale.co.uk/ never been but have been recommended to me.

I have been to Little Dumpledale and it was great, but gets booked up very quickly as it's so dog-friendly!

Thanks all for your help but after a lot of research we have decided to go here.

It was a bit expensive but we thought it looked quite nice ! No limit on the dgs and I am sure they are going to love the big corner sofa :-D

We've been to Little Dumpledale with our 4 dogs too. lovely place, very friendly hosts but it does get booked up.

Looks wonderful Lucy... I need a break very soon.. One for the memory bank I feel, just in case Mauritius doesn't come off.

My parents live in Cardigan Bay area..little village called Parcllyn, nr Aberporth... beautiful coastal walks and plenty of nice pubs. I went to school in Cardigan.I now live in the north east of england but Id move back tomorrow given the chance.
