Is Dancing Stones dog friendly?

Yes, Dancing Stones welcomes dogs — up to two at a time. All three bedrooms are on the ground floor, so your dogs have the run of the sleeping area without needing to navigate any stairs, and the private enclosed lawn means you can let them out first thing without any fuss.

Are dogs allowed at Dancing Stones year round?

The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and nothing in the property description suggests otherwise. It's always worth confirming directly with the owner when you book, particularly if you're visiting during busy periods.

What should I know before visiting Dancing Stones with my dog?

The property takes a maximum of two dogs, and the ground-floor bedroom layout means they won't need to manage stairs. The private lawn is enclosed, which is genuinely useful for early mornings, and Dunraven Bay is just 0.7 miles down the lane — a wide beach under cliffs with rock pools at low tide, and the coast path crosses the ground right opposite the front door.

Open countryside starts right on the doorstep at Dancing Stones, which is just what two dogs want from a holiday. This dog friendly wing of an 18th century residence sits in the splendid coastal village of Southerndown, between Llantwit Major and Ogmore by Sea in the Vale of Glamorgan, and it sleeps six, arranged reverse level to make the most of the coastal and rural landscape.

The hallway on the ground floor leads to every bedroom: a twin and two doubles, one of the doubles en suite, with the bathroom completing the floor. Upstairs, a generous open plan living room, with kitchen and dining space, looks over the coast and the countryside, with a wood burner, a first basket of logs supplied, comfortable seating and a Smart TV. Underfloor heating is a welcome thing for two dogs coming in from the coast path, and the kitchen is ready to feed everyone after a day out.

Heading outside, a private garden area is enclosed, with outdoor dining furniture and plenty of room to spread out, so the dogs can keep you company over a meal in the open air. It is a lovely spot to start the morning with coffee before the first walk, and a fine place to finish the day.

Dunraven beach is half a mile from the property, and the coastal path is just 400 metres from the door, with fine scenery in either direction for the dogs' daily outings. The remains of Dunraven Castle and its historic walled garden can be seen nearby, Cowbridge is close for independent shops, and Cardiff and the fascinating museum at St Fagans are within easy reach.

We research every description carefully and believe it to be accurate, but details can change. Please confirm anything important, especially dog rules, with the booking agent or property owner before you book.
