A trip to Snowdonia doesn’t just have to be about long walks and hikes in the countryside - although that is one of the best bits. Instead, be sure to visit one of the below and enjoy high street jaunts and village pub crawls:
Snowdonia has lots of pet-friendly rooms but some of the most popular include Saracens Head, Queens Hotel and The Royal Goat Hotel.
For romantic trips, we recommend The Prince Llewelyn Hotel or Plas Weunydd.
This depends on the specific hotel but typically pups are treated to a comfy dog bed, water bowl and toys. You can also expect a comfy bed for yourself, an en-suite bathroom and tea and coffee making facilities.
Again, this depends on the hotel you choose as well as your preferred dates, type of room and how long you’re staying for.
Snowdonia is a dog’s heaven - start your morning with a walk in the countryside, visit dog-friendly Beddelgert and Gelert’s Grave, Dolgoch Falls and even the Talyllyn Railway which offers dog tickets!
