When the children go back to school the dogs just have to come out and play.
Speaking as a mother only yet to the furry kind, as an owner of a dog that enjoys nothing more than skipping along the golden sand and plunging into the rock pools, when the height of the summer season ends and most have returned home, I cannot wait to whisk my dog down to the beach and let him roam free without the worry of him disturbing someones sunbathing or flicking sand in a little girl's sandwich.
Don't get me wrong, I adore the feeling of our beaches being admired and enjoyed by the many who visit Pembrokeshire every year, I as much as the next person love going for a swim off shore followed by a bag of chips and an ice-cream covered in strawberry sauce.
I just feel more content when my dog is swimming alongside me in the sea, there is the religious routine of one chip for me and one chip for him, followed by a long wait at my feet for him to lap up the next drip of his favourite ice-cream for dessert. Oh the memories!
Heading to Pembrokeshire late September into October and beyond is just fantastic when you are bringing your dog along for his well deserved holiday. Everything is so much more appropriate for your dog, whether it be that you are the only people making footprints (and paw prints) in the sand, the many Castle's have resumed to displaying their wintry history and the unspoilt cobbled streets are quieter to wander. There is just that sense of calmness where Pembrokeshire comes to rest after the holidays, it chooses to embrace the peace and quiet with open arms.
I for one love Autumn and it's association with melancholy, the prospect of Winter is on the horizon. Cue the rosy red cheeks as we take a brisk walk across the beaches and headlands at every chance.
Seabrook is a dog friendly property set above Wiseman's Bridge and Amroth sleeping a comfortable six people and one dog.
Being only a 20 minute walk from the dog friendly beach (all year round) at Wiseman's Bridge and it's welcoming beach side pub, Seabrook is a conveniently located property for the larger family and a dog looking for a stroll and a dip in the sea straight from the doorstep.
Heading in the opposite direction from Wiseman's Bridge you will discover the long and sandy beach at Amroth, any dog restrictions here are lifted as from the 30th September (roll on the empty beach) so your dog is free to chase ball time and time again. Amroth also boasts a selection of pubs, restaurants and seafront shops to embrace whilst you are visiting.
You could take a short drive from Wiseman's Bridge to Saundersfoot, or ditch the wheels and embrace the popular half mile walk from Wiseman's Bridge to the port at Saundersfoot. This walk is great for all walks of life as it is pretty flat, taking you through two tunnels and past the beach at Coppet Hall.
Saundersfoot itself is a pretty harbour town hosting both Saundersfoot Bay and The Glen beach. At low tide you can walk between the two beaches and up and around the harbour. Saundersfoot is where I quite enjoy demolishing a bag of chips sitting on the sand admiring the views from the bay.
If you to are a fan of the Autumn and can't wait to wander across the sand with your best friend in toe, check out the availability for Seabrook online or by calling a member of our reservations team on 01437 765 765.
