Where the dog friendly stays are

There are 19 dog friendly stays published on BritStays in this part of Pembrokeshire, and every one of them is listed as Pet Friendly. Most of the choice is around Tenby, where 15 of the 19 are. The other four are spread out, with one each at Ludchurch, Manorbier, St. Clears and Llechryd.

If you want the widest choice and the option to compare a few places before you commit, base your search around Tenby. If you'd prefer to stay somewhere other than Tenby itself, your shortlist is just those four. With only one option in each, it's worth deciding early.

What kind of stay you're choosing between

This is mainly a camping and caravanning set. There are 9 camping stays, 8 caravanning stays and only 2 hotels. If you want a room with a dog rather than a pitch or a van, there's very little choice, so start looking early.

The facilities that come up most often tell you what to check before you book:

  • Toilets are listed at 12 of the 19. For camping with a dog, that matters, so confirm it if you're pitching a tent.
  • Parking is listed at only 10. Don't assume you can park next to your pitch or at all, especially with a car full of dog kit.
  • EV Charging Nearby appears at 12. That means nearby, not necessarily on site, so ask how far away it is.
  • Laundrette appears at 9. It's handy for sandy towels and muddy dog bedding on a longer stay.
  • Near a Train Station also appears at 9. That's useful if you're travelling with your dog without a car.
  • WiFi is listed at 9 and a Playground at 8.

Matching a stay to your trip

Families with a dog have the most choice. Savoy Country Inn in St. Clears, Stone Pitt Holiday Park and Frowen Fields in Tenby, and Little Kings Holiday Park in Ludchurch all list a playground. If the children want a pool, look at Kiln Park Holiday Centre, Sunny Vale Holiday Park Saundersfoot and Trefalun Park. All three list a swimming pool, hot tub and evening entertainment. Swallowtree Gardens adds a gym to its pool and hot tub. Before booking any of these, ask what happens with the dog while you're at the pool or the evening show.

Couples, or anyone after something simpler, might prefer Meadow Farm Campsite, which lists parking and EV charging nearby. Pleasant Valley Caravan Park lists toilets and a gift shop. Moreton Farm Leisure Park offers guided tours alongside being pet friendly.

For a coastal feel, Skrinkle Bay Camping lists beach access. Check with them directly whether dogs are allowed on that beach at the time you're visiting.

For wet days, Crackwell Holiday Park and Frowen Fields both list indoor areas. Beavers Retreat Glamping in Manorbier has a restaurant, toilets and a picnic area if you'd like to eat outdoors with your dog beside you.

What to do once you're there

There's a good mix of heritage and days out within the region:

  • Colby Woodland Garden, a garden and arboretum
  • Tudor Merchant's House in Tenby, a National Trust property
  • Amroth Castle, a castle and heritage site
  • Carew Cheriton Control Tower and the Cardi Bach Heritage Centre, both museums listed under Tenby
  • The Welsh spitfire museum in Pembrokeshire
  • Blue Lagoon, a water park in Tenby

We don't have information on dog access at these places, and rules can differ between grounds, buildings and cafés. Check each one before you set off. For indoor museums and the water park, plan who will stay with the dog, or save those visits for a day when it can rest back at your pitch or van, if your stay allows that.

When and how to book

We can't tell you exact availability. But the numbers point to a few things. Hotels and the four stays outside Tenby are scarce, so book those first. Campsites and caravan parks give you more room to compare. School holidays are usually the busiest time for family parks with pools and entertainment, so if you're tied to those dates, give yourself plenty of notice.

Whichever stay you choose, "pet friendly" can mean different things. Before you pay, ask:

  • How many dogs, and what size, they accept
  • Whether there's a charge per dog
  • Which areas dogs can't go into, such as the bar, restaurant or pool
  • Whether you can leave your dog alone in a van or room
  • Where the nearest place to walk your dog is

Get the answers in writing, pack an old towel or two, and check where the laundrette is when you arrive.
