The pet friendly holiday guide to Pembrokeshire

Level up your mid-week getaway with our pet friendly holiday guide to Pembrokeshire and put your pup first in the holiday plans. If it’s not dog friendly, it ain’t happening. Your pooch expects to be with you every minute of every day, so that’s what we’re going to give them. 

No more sitting outside cafes because that’s the only dog friendly space. No more choosing beaches because they are “partly” dog dog friendly. Do you want the fully dog-friendly pubs and the beaches where no speck of sand is off-limits? Keep reading.

Dog Friendly Beaches in Pembrokeshire

Tenby South Beach is up there as one of the best because the shoreline just keeps on going and going. Its a top choice for ball games, chasing waves and digging holes with plenty of space for a good run too. Manorbier Beach, Freshwater East Beach and Wisemans Bridge Beach are all ideal for doggie days out in the south, as is Barafundle Bay. 

Your pooch will adore jumping the sand dunes at Newport Sands and Nolton Haven Beach whilst Marloes Sands offers a vast golden sand with plenty of rock pools if your pup likes getting their paws wet. 

Dog Friendly Pubs in Pembrokeshire

Plantagenet House in Tenby and The Stackpole Inn at Stackpole both house specific dog friendly sections within their restaurants because like us, they know the important of pets.  Both are known to be two of the best places to eat in Pembrokeshire too, so you know you’re onto a winner.

The Royal Oak in Saundersfoot and The Royal Oak in Fishguard are both pet friendly choices, as is Castle Inn in Newport and The Farmers Arms in St Davids. Expect quality dishes, good vibes and a warm welcome when you visit either one. 

Dog Friendly Walks in Pembrokeshire

Well the obvious choice is the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. With 186 miles of seaside routes from St Dogmaels to Amroth, combined with dog friendly buses, mean that you have a neverending list of options for walkies. 

If that doesn’t suit, there are several circular walks in the region you might prefer. Try the Bosherston Lily Ponds walk to enjoy waterside strolls with the special surprise of a sandy beach (Broadhaven South Beach) halfway around. 

The tramway walk between Saundersfoot and Wisemans Bridge follows a level path along the old coal mining railways, take an out-and-back approach from either starting point and stop off for a bite to eat before returning.

Near St Davids lies the St Davids Airfield. No longer in use, it’s a popular haunt for dog walkers with a spacious runway that now houses more wildlife than planes. Ty Canol Woods near Newport is almost like something out of a fantasy movie with an intricate web of trees and Pentre Ifan, a Neolithic burial chamber, standing proud nearby,
