1 / 16Pen Y Groes
Welshpool, Powys
A detached cottage for eight near Berriew and Welshpool in mid Wales, four bedrooms, an open fire and an Aga, an enclosed garden with a firepit and two dogs welcome.
The owner of Pen Y Groes runs a furniture business, and it shows in the house. This detached cottage near Berriew is a dog friendly stay for eight in mid Wales, a short drive from Welshpool, with four bedrooms, an Italian leather sofa in front of the fire, a farmhouse kitchen with an Aga, and two dogs welcome.
Round the house runs an enclosed garden holding a patio, furniture, a gas barbecue and a firepit, and the countryside rolls away around it. The firepit is what turns an evening outside into a long one: two dogs flat on the patio, the fire going, and the hills going dark beyond the fence. A welcome pack is waiting, with extras for the dogs.
Inside, fuel for the open fire in the living room is included, and the kitchen and dining room are laid out round the Aga. A double bedroom and its shower room sit downstairs, handy for an older member of the party, and upstairs a kingsize, another double and a twin that can be made up as a kingsize on request, with a second shower room. Eight people fit without trouble, and two dogs soon find the warmest corner.
Berriew is a village of black and white timbered cottages with a river through it and a museum of sculpture, and Welshpool, a short drive away, has Powis Castle and its famous terraced gardens. The Severn Way and Glyndwr's Way both pass through this country for long walks with the dogs, the Shropshire Hills are over the border, and Lake Vyrnwy is within reach for a day out.

Book with cottages.comFrequently Asked Questions
Is Pen Y Groes dog friendly?
Yes, Pen Y Groes welcomes up to two dogs. The cottage has an enclosed garden where they can roam freely, and a welcome pack is provided on arrival with extras included for the dogs.
Are dogs allowed at Pen Y Groes year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dog visits, so it's worth contacting the owner directly to confirm availability for your dates. With an open fire, an Aga and a cosy enclosed garden with a firepit, it's a place that suits dogs in any season.
What should I know before visiting Pen Y Groes with my dog?
The cottage accepts a maximum of two dogs, so it's not suitable for larger groups of pets. The enclosed garden gives them space to settle outside, and the surrounding countryside — including the Severn Way and Glyndwr's Way — offers plenty of walking to stretch their legs.
