1 / 8Padarn Hotel
Llanberis, Gwynedd
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
An 1880s hotel on the High Street in Llanberis, at the foot of Snowdon, where dogs are welcome in parts of the 1085 Bistro and the Sports Bar.
Padarn Hotel was built in the 1880s at the foot of Snowdon, inside the Snowdonia National Park, 100m from Padarn Lake and a five minute walk from the Snowdon Mountain Railway. With 18 en-suite rooms, a quirky sports bar and a bistro on the village High Street, this dog friendly hotel makes a ready base for walking Snowdon with your dog.
A limited number of bedrooms are allocated as pet friendly, and they must be requested at the time of booking. Rooms run from twins and doubles to family rooms, each with towels and toiletries, a hairdryer and a tea and coffee tray, somewhere comfortable to relax after a day out exploring Snowdonia. On dog numbers per bedroom the hotel doesn't say, and the same goes for leaving yours alone in the room, so ask both questions as you book.
Dogs are welcome in parts of the 1085 Bistro, which takes its name from the height of Y Wyddfa in metres and is spread over three themed rooms: the Y Wyddfa Room looks over the mountains, the Film Room hangs posters of blockbusters filmed around Llanberis, and the Boat Room has views of the lake and a pirate ship for children. Its chefs cook freshly prepared dishes, and the team can cater for dietary requirements if you ask. Parts of the Sports Bar take dogs too, with a pool table, a darts board, locally brewed cask ales and gins from The Aber Falls Distillery.
The National Slate Museum and the Llanberis Lake Railway are both on the hotel's list of things to see. For the dog, Mount Snowdon (via Llanberis Path) is 0.7 miles away, and Newborough Beach (Traeth Llanddwyn), the closest dog friendly sand on Wildpack's beach list for Llanberis, sits 10.9 miles off.
