Pet-friendly summary
Golden Gate Holiday Centre sits on the North Wales coast at Towyn, a couple of miles west of Abergele, and this privately let caravan is one of the more straightforward dog-friendly bases on it. The owners let it specifically as a dog-friendly van, and guests travelling with dogs say so plainly: the caravan is clean and tidy, easy to find on arrival, and nobody has to negotiate whether the dog is welcome.
The rules are clear before you book. Dogs are the only pets allowed in the park's pet-friendly homes, and a charge of £30 per dog applies on top of the booking. Breakages, missing items, excessive cleaning or pet damage are charged to the card held on file, so it is worth a look round on arrival and a proper tidy before you leave. The owners stay in contact through the stay, which guests with dogs mention as one of the reasons the trip went smoothly.
Towyn is well set up for dogs. Beach and promenade run the length of Kinmel Bay and Pensarn, there is space to walk straight off the site, and guests report finding dog-friendly places to eat and drink easily in the area. The site's own clubhouse gets a good word too, and families travelling with more than one small dog have found plenty to fill a week without leaving them behind.
It is a caravan on a busy coastal holiday park rather than a hotel, so expect park bustle in high season, a modest level of finish and self-catering throughout. Anyone after a quiet rural cottage should look elsewhere. For a family or a couple who want an inexpensive coastal week with the dog in tow, close to sand and with the pet rules stated up front, it earns its 4.7 out of 5 paw rating.
