It's often difficult to find wonderful holiday accommodation that not only 'accepts' dogs, but actively welcomes them. That's why Coastal Cottages of Pembrokeshire created The Woof Guide, where you can find great dog-friendly accommodation that's rated according to a unique Paw Rating System that tells you whether it's best for your dog, whether they're energetic, water loving, elderly, timid or even a puppy. Pembrokeshire is an ideal destination for you and your dog all year round, with beautiful beaches, stunning coast path walks and lots of dog-friendly attractions. The Woof Guide has all the information you might need for a Pembrokeshire holiday your dog would choose.

Cilhendre is a lovely cosy, dog-friendly cottage situated in the heart of Newport. It's especially suited to the smaller dog who loves nothing more than the pleasant bustle of coastal town life, however more energetic pooches will enjoy the walk to the beach and splashing about in the sea! The cottage itself is deceptively spacious, and sleeps 8 people and 2 dogs very comfortably. A wood burner creates a cosy retreat outside of the season while during summer months Cilhendre transforms into a sunny haven with a secluded patio well equipped for alfresco dining with garden lighting, leading onto a large lawn for children, adults and dogs to enjoy.

A seven night stay at Cilhendre starts at £535, rising to £1335 in summer holidays.

Upper Mead is a stunning house set on the hillside just above the seaside village of Amroth, with breathtaking views out to sea over Carmarthen Bay. Sleeping 6 people and 2 dogs, it's recently been refurbished to a high standard with wooden floors that are practical for soggy paws! Energetic dogs will thrive here, as a short downhill walk takes you to the wonderful long Amroth beach, where you can join the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path to explore the wonderful coastline on your doorstep. For a different kind of walk, the National Trust Colby Woodland Gardens are only a 0.5 mile walk from the cottage.

A seven night stay at Upper Mead starts at £575, rising to £1675 in summer holidays.

For couples, Hawthorn Cottage is part of a picturesque 18th Century stone barn converted into two delightful cottages, full of character with exposed stone walls and beams, set in the sleepy hamlet of Talbenny just over a mile from the beautiful cove of Little Haven. Sleeping 2 people and 2 dogs, it sits in half an acre of extensive shared grounds, making it a perfect location for an elderly or nervous dog to enjoy short, quiet walks. For the more energetic, the beach at Little Haven is open to dogs all year round, and is perfect for a walk followed by lunch on a pub terrace while your pooch snoozes it off at your feet.

A seven night stay at Hawthorn Cottage starts at £400, rising to £705 in summer holidays.
