1 / 24Bwthyn Y Baedd - Boar Cottage
Lixwm, Flintshire
A five star farm conversion for four at Lixwm above Holywell, with a ground floor bedroom, a hot tub and an enclosed garden rising in stages behind it, two dogs welcome.
Bwthyn Y Baedd means Boar Cottage, and the farm it stands on is still a working one. It sleeps four at Lixwm above Holywell, a five star dog friendly conversion with an enclosed garden holding a hot tub, an elevated patio and a sun terrace. Working farms come with rules about where a dog may go, and the enclosure settles that before anybody has to ask.
One bedroom and one bathroom sit at ground level, so an older dog never has to negotiate a staircase at all. The rest is rustic in the way a five star conversion can afford to be: old materials, new fittings, nothing a wet dog is going to ruin. The garden climbs behind the house in stages, patio with the gas BBQ on it, sun terrace above that, and the hot tub set where the view is.
Farm noise starts early and two dogs will be awake for all of it. That is the trade for staying somewhere still in work: tractors before eight, then nothing all day but the country getting on with itself. Evenings run the other way entirely. Somebody gets into the hot tub, somebody else stays on the terrace refusing to commit, and two dogs circuit a garden they memorised on the first afternoon.
Pilgrims have come to Holywell for thirteen centuries to see St Winefride's Well, which has never once stopped running. The coast north of it is low: Gronant keeps the only little tern colony in Wales behind its dunes, Prestatyn has the long sand, and the Dee estuary beyond fills with waders. Two dogs get a working farm at one end of the day and empty beach at the other.

Is Bwthyn Y Baedd - Boar Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Bwthyn Y Baedd is dog friendly and welcomes up to two dogs. The cottage has an enclosed garden, so your dogs have a safe space to roam freely without any fuss over boundaries. It's a five star conversion, but the rustic materials and robust finish mean a wet dog coming in from the garden isn't going to cause any anxiety.
Are dogs allowed at Bwthyn Y Baedd - Boar Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the property directly to confirm availability for your dates. What is clear is that the setup — enclosed garden, ground floor access, hot tub with a view — is designed with dogs as a genuine part of the picture, not an afterthought.
What should I know before visiting Bwthyn Y Baedd - Boar Cottage with my dog?
Boar Cottage sits on a working farm, which means there are rules about where dogs can go beyond the enclosed garden — the enclosure itself is there to make that straightforward for everyone. Early mornings come with farm noise, so if your dog is a light sleeper, expect them to be up with the tractors before eight. On the plus side, the ground floor bedroom means older or less mobile dogs won't need to manage any stairs.
