Our spectacular coastal county is known for dramatic cliff paths, rolling countryside, dog-welcoming pubs, and outdoor adventures that feel almost purpose-built for curious noses and wagging tails.

With over 180 miles of coastline, sheltered coves, open beaches, rural lanes and the world-famous Pembrokeshire Coast Path weaving through some of the most breathtaking scenery in Britain, holidays here are unforgettable for both humans and dogs alike.

In this guide, we share the best dog-friendly places to stay in Pembrokeshire, along with tips for choosing the right accommodation, top local beaches and walks, and insider advice for planning the perfect dog-friendly break. Properties have been selected based on key dog-owner priorities, including transparent pet policies, outdoor access, comfort, and location.

Why Pembrokeshire Is Perfect for a Dog‑Friendly Stay

Pembrokeshire has something for everyone, including your four-legged friends, from coastal paths and beaches to woodlands and countryside all within easy -reach of whichever dog friendly accommodation you choose. In the morning you can explore the deserted beaches in the north of the county, and a few hours later you can have lunch in a lovely dog-friendly pub in bustling Saundersfoot or Tenby. You’ll find a large range of casual eateries in Pembrokeshire welcome dogs.

Another bonus for dog owners is that when visiting Pembrokeshire, you aren’t limited to which time of year to visit, with year‑round appeal and every season brings new adventures.

It’s worth noting that visits between October – May will ensure you and your dog will be able to access all the beaches in the county, whereas in the summer months (May – September) there are some which are off limits: you can find more information on beach restrictions later on.

For those who prefer getting their paws dirty there are plenty of woodland walks, such as the winding paths and routes around Canaston Woods and Minwear (near Blackpool Mill), the ancient forest of Pengelli Woods, the beautiful valley at the National Trusts Colby Woodland Garden (near Amroth), and the riverside paths around Lawrenny. Other great options include Pantmaenog Forest and Bosherston Lily Ponds.
