The Old Bakehouse is a dog friendly stone cottage which has an array of attractions nearby making for a cosy holiday to Pembrokeshire for all the family.
The Old Bakehouse is one of six outbuildings of which have been renovated into holiday homes all set around a landscaped courtyard of the large Georgian guest house Lamphey Park. Sleeping 5 people along with 2 dogs this dog friendly property really is ideal for a family looking to experience all that is amazing about our Pembrokeshire National Park.
The Old Bakehouse is surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside and only a mile outside of the quaint village of Lamphey.
The dog friendly places to visit are endless from your base at The Old Bakehouse from a touch of history to long sandy beaches and castle walks.
For budding historians be sure to visit Lamphey Bishop's Palace, which is welcoming to dogs and offers you the chance to witness the extensive remains of a lavish country retreat used by the Bishop of St David's dating from the thirteenth to sixteenth centuries.
A pleasant circular walk awaits around the Millpond which surrounds the prominent Pembroke Castle. From the opposite side of the bank to where the castle stands you can really appreciate an alternative view of the castle in all it's splendour, nestled perfectly on the river banks.
If your dogs love the beach then I can name and recommend at least three bays which are all dog friendly all year round and only a short drive from The Old Bakehouse in Lamphey.
To begin, Freshwater East is a wide, sandy beach backed by low dunes with ragged headland surrounding. This is a very popular beach and has a car park directly opposite the little sandy path which leads you down onto the beach. There are a few rocks over the far end of the beach to have an adventure and with the sunken dunes everyone will be kept entertained here.
Barafundle Bay is simply breathtaking, a world class walk. Barafundle is truly one of Pembrokeshire's most beautiful beaches, often described by many as 'the jewel in the crown' and consistently voted the most beautiful beach in Britain. This bay can only be accessed by the stretch of coastal path which begins from the car park at Stackpole Quay, followed by a walk down through the grassy dunes leading to the bay. South of the beach is a fabulous stretch of coastal path leading to Stackpole Head.
Last but by no means is Broad Haven South and the very pretty walk around Bosherston Lily Ponds. Broad Haven South is a brilliant beach, a place my dog and I have many happy memories as we constantly came here when he was a little younger. Broad Haven South is an extremely popular beach for families and their dogs, made even more appealing by the unspoilt walk around the Bosherston Lily Ponds of which leads you to the far end of the beach. This beach is renowned for it's influx of tremendous waves, a fantastic spectacle to watch during the winter. Broad Haven South is one big sandy beach with grassy dunes, rock pools and a cute stream ideal for paddling and throwing the ball in sheltered waters. You'll have fun here.
If you are looking for a fantastic holiday to Pembrokeshire which is dog friendly in every way, then The Old Bakehouse in Lamphey may be exactly what you are waiting for.
