1 / 8The Buckley Arms
Dinas Mawddwy, Gwynedd
Yes. Dogs can stay in all rooms.
A family run, Grade II listed hotel in the Dyfi Valley near Dinas Mawddwy, where all six rooms take well behaved dogs and tasty treats are waiting.
Six rooms, every one of them open to well behaved dogs: that is the welcome at The Buckley Arms, a Grade II listed, family run hotel on the outskirts of Dinas Mawddwy in the Dyfi Valley. It has been a hotel since 1873, with the River Dyfi as a soothing backdrop amid the scenery of Snowdonia National Park. The hotel calls itself a dog loving haven, and as a dog friendly hotel in the Dyfi Valley, with a garden framed by the Aran Mountain Range, it has the setting to match.
Your dog can stay in any of the six en suite bedrooms, and tasty treats are ready so they feel at home from the start. The beds have premium mattresses and 1000 thread count cotton bedding, and every room has both a bath and a shower, a Nespresso machine and views of the countryside, from forests to mountains and, in some, the Dyfi Valley itself. Ask at booking about a cap on dogs per bedroom and about leaving yours behind on a day out, since the hotel doesn't state either.
The hotel says its little ones can join you in the restaurant, so if yours is a larger dog, check when you book. Breakfast draws on locally sourced ingredients and is served in the breakfast lounge, with mountain views. Over 300 bottles of whisky and a range of Welsh gin fill the bar, yet the hotel doesn't mention dogs in there at all, so check first.
The garden is a place to spend an afternoon with tea, birdsong and your dog for company, and after dark there is a telescope for looking at the stars. When your dog wants a beach day, Fairbourne Beach, 15.1 miles off, is as close as Wildpack's dog friendly beaches come.
