1 / 29Pant y March
Bala, Gwynedd
Four canvas hideaways on a mountain farm in southern Eryri with views across Llyn Tegid, a sauna pod and hot tubs, and a welcome for two dogs, kept on a lead.
Llinos's grandfather was born at Pant y March more than a century ago, and she, Geraint and their daughter Martha have farmed it since 2007. It was the first Feather Down farm in Wales, set in the southern part of Eryri National Park with far reaching views across Llyn Tegid. This dog friendly mountain retreat takes two dogs, kept on a lead, as ewes, cows and chickens share the farm.
Each of the four canvas hideaways has three bedrooms, a kitchen and its own wood burner, all without electricity. Choose a tent with its own hot tub and the sunset goes down across the lake while you soak, and the wood fired sauna pod, added in 2025, seats four or five. The dog, meanwhile, has found the warmest spot by the stove.
With its mountainous setting and no heavy machinery, the farm is a peaceful haven, and visitors young and old are encouraged to roam. Walking paths lead off in every direction, up to the top of the mountain behind the farm or along to the village pub at Llanuwchllyn, so you can leave the car parked and take the dog out on foot every morning.
For an early swim, the tranquil beach at Llangywer is about a mile's walk from the farm, a lovely morning outing with the dog. On Llyn Tegid at Bala you can hire canoes, paddleboards, sailing and rowing boats, there is whitewater rafting on the Tryweryn, and Coed y Brenin has trails through beautiful woodland.

Book with Feather Down FarmsFrequently Asked Questions
Is Pant y March dog friendly?
Yes, Pant y March welcomes dogs — up to two per booking. It's a working hill farm inside Eryri National Park, so dogs must be kept on the lead at all times while on the farm, with no fenced garden area as an alternative to this rule.
Are dogs allowed at Pant y March year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, but it's worth bearing in mind that spring is lambing season on the farm, when the fields are particularly busy with sheep. It's always a good idea to get in touch with the hosts directly if you're planning a spring visit.
What should I know before visiting Pant y March with my dog?
The most important thing to know is that dogs must stay on the lead for the entire stay — there is no fenced garden, and sheep graze on open hill ground across the farm. That said, the walking from the doorstep is excellent: you can head straight up the slope onto the hill, walk down to the beach at Llangywer on Llyn Tegid (Wales's largest natural lake, just a mile away), or follow paths to the pub at Llanuwchllyn with a narrow gauge train ride back.
