Pet-friendly summary
Cosy Cottage is a small stone terrace on Old Road in Conwy, a few minutes on foot from the castle and the medieval town walls, and its main appeal for dog owners is the thing most town-centre cottages cannot offer: an enclosed garden and a private driveway. Guests travelling with dogs mention both more than anything else. The garden is properly fenced, so a dog can be let out last thing without a lead, and the off-road parking removes the usual Conwy problem of circling narrow streets with a dog in the back.
Dogs incur a charge of £35 per pet per stay, which the property states up front. Inside, the cottage is warm, clean and well equipped, with a kitchen guests rate highly, a conservatory at the back that opens onto the garden, and a smart TV that takes streaming logins.
The location is walkable to everything in Conwy, but the return leg is uphill and guests consistently flag it. It is manageable if you are reasonably fit, less appealing after a long day if your dog is elderly or you have been out along the town walls. A couple of practical notes: there is no tumble dryer or airer, which is worth knowing if you are walking a dog in Welsh weather, and there are two number 9s on Old Road, so read the arrival instructions carefully. The welcome pack is a basic set of sachets rather than the hamper some guests seem to expect.
For a dog owner who wants to explore Conwy on foot and still have somewhere secure to let a dog out at either end of the day, this is close to ideal, and it earns a 4.8/5 paw rating. It suits small and medium dogs best, since the garden and the cottage are both compact, and the parking alone makes it a strong choice in a town where that is genuinely hard to come by.
