A delightful new dog friendly property has joined our Woof Guide portfolio for 2012.
Meadow Cottage is one of seven barn conversions that sits on the outskirts of Sageston village. It has been well furnished throughout and welcomes two dogs and their family of four to call the cottage home during their dog friendly holiday to Pembrokeshire.
There are many delights on your doorstep from Meadow Cottage, the prominent Carew Castle and Tidal Mill being only a 20 minute walk away.
The circular walk around the Mill is a mile long and very popular with locals, visitors and their dogs all year round. There are fantastic photo opportunities as you walk and I have quite often seen the resident heron stood stock still on the fringes of the water stalking it's prey.
Surrounding the Carew Mill walk, there are also many public footpaths going through the fields that branch off in every direction towards Carew Newton, West Williamston and Milton too.
Perfectly located opposite Carew Castle is the Carew Inn, they have built a reputation for great food and have music and barbeque's on various evenings throughout the Summer. Dogs are welcome in the beer garden, under the marquee and the bar area.
The harbour towns of both Tenby and Saundersfoot are only a short drive away, offering sandy beaches, quaint shops, galleries, pubs and restaurants.
From Sageston you are in a central location to discover so many places of interest. Lawrenny and Garron Pill is a village worth visiting, as is the old fashioned riverside pub at Cresswell Quay along with Bosherston Lily Ponds, Freshwater West, Stackpole Quay and Barafundle Bay.
Meadow Cottage is a perfect home from home for your dog friendly holiday in Pembrokeshire!

Great dog friendly property in Tenby
Glenwood House is a very impressive property set in it's own extensive grounds, nestled above the popular harbour town of Tenby.
Sleeping 12, this dog friendly property is a substantial Victorian masterpiece for your family and dogs to call home during your holiday to Pembrokeshire. Tenby with it's four sandy beaches, pubs, restaurants, shops and harbour are all only a short walk away, making Glenwood House a very convenient spot to be based!
I for one truly appreciate the beaches in Tenby out of season, the beaches are your own and the dogs can play to their hearts content for hours on end.
With the nights still dark around 6 in the evening, Flynn and I, Mum and Jed are getting all to familiar with walking along the Tenby beaches in the dark. If it wasn't for the fantastic noses of the dogs, we'd never find the tennis balls!
Tenby's South beach is fairly well lit in the evenings, thanks to the lights from the hotels on the Esplanade. With it being ridiculously mild for January (at the moment), the evenings are really pleasant for walking and we are quite enjoying ourselves playing hunt the ball. Admittedly, it will be nice when we can walk without a torch!

Pics of Flynn!
I know it has taken me a little while to show off pictures of my puppy to you, the truth is that I just wanted to keep you all in suspense!
Just a little teaser for now, plenty more to come!
But I am glad to announce that the time has come for me to present my puppy to the world.
WARNING: The following imagery is seriously cute!
Flynn loves getting muddy in the woods leading to Slebech Estate from Blackpool Mill and Canaston Woods...
His favourite watering hole to have a splash along the Leat Walk at Blackpool Mill...
The beach offers so much space to be free and Flynn loves posing with the sand under his paws...
Just a little teaser for now, plenty more to come!

The Cart House - Excellent Reviews
It is always fantastic to hear from guests that have enjoyed their holiday in one of our dog friendly properties in Pembrokeshire and the latest review we have received is from a guest that has recently stayed at The Cart House, Nr Newgale with her dog.
First impressions are highly important when you arrive at your holiday property, especially when you have your best friend in toe with tail wagging as he is so pleased to be coming along on holiday with you and not having to stay at home!
You are almost more willing for the dog friendly property to be great for him than you are for yourself!
Becky mentioned when commenting on The Cart House as a cottage overall:
'Your best friend (the four legged variety) has a quick investigation of all the crooks and crannies of a perfectly wonderful and welcoming cottage and promptly settles down as if it's a home from home.'
I think that creates a really warm impression of The Cart House near Newgale and most certainly received the 'paws up' from Becky's best friend too.
There are lovely countryside walks surrounding this dog friendly property and it is close to the beaches at both Newgale and Nolton which any dog would love.
What are you waiting for?!

Jed and Flynn
My boys are brilliant together. To be honest I have got to take my hat off to Jedipins, he is so patient with Flynn when we go to visit him at my Mums, especially when puppy persists in chasing him around the kitchen yapping and wanting to play.
Mum and I quite often take Flynn and Jed out together for a walk, last night we had a brisk walk around Tenby's cobbled streets, around Castle Hill and onto North Beach the night before we wandered around Carew Castle and we have on a few occasions had a play on Tenby's South beach too.
Flynn is getting much bigger now, he is turning into a very handsome dog. He knows it too as he cheekily flaunts about the place!
He is the first member of the household to have his Christmas presents bought, wrapped and ready to go under the tree once we have put it up this weekend.
The Christmas tree is going to be another attractive vision for Flynn to explore, with lots of baubles hanging and lights twinkling he will have great fun working out what it is and whether or not it has been put there for him to play with.
Wish me luck...

Flynn is finding his feet
Today, it is a week since I was surprised by my Mum and Dad with my sheepdog puppy Flynn.
He is as gorgeous as ever and has learnt how to sit in a day. Because I proceed in making a huge fuss over him when he sits, he now does it all the time! I was washing up this morning and all had gone quiet so I called Flynn a few times and waited, but heard nothing. I turn around to find him sat behind me, good as gold and his little tail wagging. Bless him.
Throughout the week I have taken Flynn to see Jed, Jed is the best dog in the world and has the patience of a saint. Any dog that can sit, stiff as a board whilst having a puppy bounce up at him playfully letting out a screech every now and again deserves a medal. Mind you, one curl of the lip from Jed and Flynn dives behind me!
Flynn needs one other injection next week before he is able to mingle with all and sundry, but Jed does accompany him down to the bottom of the road and back to have a stretch of his legs.
The vet gave 'Puppy Jones' (this is what Mum registered Flynn under at the vet as she didn't know what his name was going to be!) a three day worming powder, which we started yesterday. Flynn had a few nibbles of his lunch (complete with wormer) and retreated to his bed in dismay. On his way home from work yesterday he was sick and looked a little peaky for the rest of the evening. This morning he turned his nose up at his breakfast and lunch without even so much as a sniff. His Dad tried mixing a few treats in amongst the dry mix and wormer this afternoon and he prized out every single piece of treat and left the rest! I had to giggle.

My New Arrival...
...Flynn.
I had to leave it a couple of days before telling you as I was too excited to type!
Last Saturday I was given a puppy for Christmas by my Mum and Dad. He is an adorable little tan and white Sheepdog with cute ginger eyebrows and hazy blue eyes.
I am very lucky and it's like I've never been without him.
I don't think I've stopped talking about him yet and the photo's have been passed around the office numerous times already and it's only day three! I will have to post you a photo on here tomorrow though as I forgot to bring the USB lead to take the photo's from the camera.
I have to admit that mornings have been rather eventful in the Jones household over the last couple of days. My regular roles appear to be soaking up puppy pee, rescuing carpet under attack and midnight strolls to the lawn to stretch little legs. And I love every minute of it!
I can't wait until Flynn has his last injection next week so I can take him out for proper walks and introduce him to the most beautiful of places in Pembrokeshire. He already has rural roots having travelled from the mountains in Brecon, so I think he is going to get on just fine.
The vet advised my Mum that if I wanted to take him anywhere to go down to the beach onto the wet sand where the tide had washed the beach clean, so on Sunday Flynn's first trip was to the North beach in Tenby.
He is a working lad that has already been to Carmarthen, Llandeilo and Cardigan in his first three days of working. He happily sets off in the morning with his lunchbox and toys whilst his Dad works hard on the roads and he curls up snug as a bug and observes.
I can assure you that this puppy isn't just for Christmas and there are many happy years ahead.
