As the title sujects, i am looking for a cottage, with an open fire for a few days, it must also accept a dog.
I am currently searching the net but wondered if any of our South west friends knew anyone or could recommend any.
Basically as sad as i am, I am looking at going walking with the other half and the dog..just looking for a tranquile location :D
Any ideas?
Regards
Rich
I stayed in one about five years ago near Strumble head. It was situated on national trust land adjacent to a great coastal walk. Can't remember the name of the cottage but I think we found it in 'Toad hall Cottages'. Trul fab!! No electric/gas - lights were candles & oil lamps, cooker was a coal fired rayburn - great stuff!! We loved every minute of the week we were there...you had to drive thru' Fishguard if my memory serves me correctly...
HTH.
Edit: It wasn't Toad hall, but it was something similar - there's loads on the net..
Very much like the one below...

Take your own sheep?. or make do with local totty.
Now the Welsh do cottaging differently you know.
Take a jaunt down to you local newsagents, WH Smiths etc and have a glance at any of the pet owner/dog owner/Horse & Hound magazines. They usually have loads of ads in the back pages for holiday places that will accept pets.

Not in Wales, but this http://www.lundyisland.co.uk/ may well be up your street. Very quiet, isolated, good walks, etc. it's like stepping back in time 60 years.

When I was (a lot) younger my mum & dad used to take us to a place called either West Tarr or East Tarr farm, it's near Tenby, just outside a little village called St Florence.
The farm was a riding stables that had 3 or 4 holiday cottages as well, IIRC they allowed pets too. A few pubs in the village itself or, if you fancy something a bit more lively, Tenby is only about a 10 min drive / taxi ride.
Might be worth a look if it's still a going concern...
Book in Pembrokeshire with these people:

much better than coastal cottages, had a few disasters with them.
We've just come back from Dan y Graig, so fantastic and tranquil that we've booked again for next summer.
