Dog Days AwayGOOD DAYS. TOGETHER.
Pembrokeshire · Wales · City · Coast
St Davids can be a small-city break with a coastal edge, combining permitted cathedral grounds and Bishop’s Palace areas with a shorter outing towards Caerbwdi. Choose your hotel around the dog-room booking process and where you can eat together. St Davids Cross has a bar dining option; Twr y Felin requires direct reservation of one of five specific ground-floor rooms. The cathedral interior is not part of a pet-dog visit, even though dogs can enjoy several spaces around it.

THE DETAILS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Its dog rooms are specifically excluded from online booking.
The main restaurants are not interchangeable with the designated dog areas.
No. The Cathedral permits only assistance dogs inside the building. Dogs on leads are welcome in the Cathedral grounds, Refectory and Cloisters; the separate Bishop’s Palace is a Cadw site where dogs may visit on short leads.
Cadw allows dogs on short leads at ground-floor levels of the Palace. The access guide says upper floors involve stairs and dogs must remain on the ground floor, so plan around the courtyard and ground-level rooms rather than expecting access to the towers or upper wall walks.

Yes. Pembrokeshire Coast National Park describes Caerbwdi as dog-friendly year-round, but it is a small rocky and pebbly beach with no facilities and is not easy to access. The footpath is about 0.6 miles from the A487, so allow for that walk and check the tide before relying on exposed sand.
The hotel currently lists £15 per dog per night and asks guests to advise it when booking. Dogs may join you in the garden, bar and lounge, but not the restaurant; the hotel says meals are also served in the bar, where well-behaved dogs are welcome.

No. The hotel’s current dog policy says its designated dog-friendly dining area is for resident guests only; the Oriel Lounge and Blas Restaurant are pet-free. Dog-friendly rooms must be booked directly, and the page lists £30 per dog per night with a lower charge for additional small dogs.
