Dog Days AwayGOOD DAYS. TOGETHER.Monmouthshire · Wales · Town · Countryside
Monmouth gives you a choice between a room above a town pub and a glamping pod at nearby Buckholt. They suit quite different breaks: the Punch House keeps the town close, while the farm pod puts more of the holiday outdoors. Build a gentle first day around Monmouth, then choose a short Kymin outing or a longer signed walk according to the weather. The pod’s dog allocation is limited, so secure that before planning the rest of the trip.

THE DETAILS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Buckholt normally allocates dogs to Willow and limits the site to two dogs.
A glamping stay has different equipment and towel arrangements from a hotel room.
Willow is the pod the operator advertises as pet-friendly. Walnut may accept a dog only by prior arrangement if both parties staying on site agree, so do not assume it is available for pets; confirm with the host before booking.

Buckholt House Farm lists a £20 charge per stay for up to two well-behaved dogs on site. Dogs must be kept on leads and cannot be left alone in a pod. Confirm the chosen pod's approval if you are not booking Willow.

The operator says additional charges may apply, while Visit Monmouthshire says dogs are accepted in selected rooms and the bar and that a supplement is charged per dog. Neither page gives the amount, so confirm the exact room, access and total fee with the hotel before booking.
