Pet-friendly summary
Llaethdy is a coastal cottage in the hills above Mwnt on the Ceredigion coast, a few miles north of Cardigan, and for a dog owner after quiet it is hard to beat: outstanding sea views, walks straight from the doorstep and a well-kept garden that visiting dogs make full use of. It earns a 4.7/5 paw rating, with guests settling in for stays of up to two weeks.
The pet arrangement is simple: one well-behaved dog is welcome. The garden gets repeated mentions from guests whose dogs spent much of the stay in it, and the cottage comes properly equipped for families too, down to a travel cot.
The beaches need a little planning. Mwnt's sheltered cove is within walking distance, with a small seasonal hut beside it for food and drink, but dogs are banned from the sand during the summer season - a restriction that has caught guests out, so check the season dates before promising the dog a swim. The compensation is that several dog-friendly beaches lie a short drive away, and the coast path itself is open all year.
Expect self-catering simplicity rather than hotel services: key handover and linen come via a friendly local caretaker, and the appeal is the setting rather than facilities. Reviews are unanimous about the peace and the views, and guests consistently say they plan to return.
Best suited to walkers with one dog - guests recommend it for exactly that - and to families happy to trade nightlife for sea views and doorstep hill walks.
