1 / 20Cardigan Bay Lodge
Llwyncelyn, Ceredigion
A seaside lodge for three between Aberaeron and New Quay, with a wood burner, distant sea views from an enclosed lawn garden and two dogs welcome.
Cardigan Bay Lodge looks out to fabulous sea views in the distance from the elevated patio of its enclosed lawn garden, and two dogs are invited too. Set between the coastal towns of Aberaeron and New Quay, this dog friendly lodge makes a delightful base for a couple or a family exploring Cardigan Bay.
The stylish kitchen and diner has a contemporary design and a farmhouse gas range cooker with four ovens and eight burners, so nobody goes hungry. The heart of the lodge is the cosy living room, with deep, comfortable seating and a view through French doors to the lawn and a wood burner whose crackling flames make for a warm and inviting evening. That is where the dogs end up, warm and contented, once the beach is done with.
Two comfortable, cosy bedrooms, a double and a single, have plenty of storage, and the modern shower room makes for a refreshing start to the day. Outside, the enclosed lawn garden has two patio areas, a BBQ and dining furniture, with lovely countryside and seaside views for morning coffee, or a glass of wine under dark, starry skies. The dogs have the lawn while supper sizzles.
The Wales Coast Path is within 1.5 miles. Aberaeron, a harbour town 2 miles from the lodge, has tasty eateries, independent shops and craft centres to mooch around. Stroll the beach and keep your eyes peeled for the famous Cardigan Bay bottlenose dolphins, or head to New Quay for a boat trip in search of them; its three beaches include wilder, more rugged bays popular with dog walkers all year round.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Cardigan Bay Lodge dog friendly?
Yes, Cardigan Bay Lodge welcomes up to two dogs. The garden is fully enclosed, so you can let them out without fuss, and the surrounding area — including the Wales Coast Path, beaches near New Quay, and the shoreline where bottlenose dolphins are often spotted — makes it a genuinely good base for dogs who like to be out and about.
Are dogs allowed at Cardigan Bay Lodge year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth checking directly with the property to confirm availability for your dates. The location near Aberaeron and New Quay has plenty to offer dog walkers in any season, including wilder beaches that tend to be quieter outside summer.
What should I know before visiting Cardigan Bay Lodge with my dog?
The most important thing to know is the steps: there are ten up from the road, and more again to the front door, which may be a challenge for older or less mobile dogs. Once you're up there, the enclosed garden means dogs can roam freely without leads, and the lodge comfortably suits two dogs alongside their owners.
