As dog owners ourselves we understand that your dogs are part of the family, and therefore you want them to be part of your holiday, too.  Why spend you holiday fretting about your dogs left in kennels?

Gone are the days when dogs were banned from just about everywhere - you'd be surprised how may places you can take your dogs - even some of the local historical monuments accept dogs on leads, including Criccieth Castle and the Segontium Roman Fort. Dogs are also welcome on the Ffestiniog Welsh Highland trains and the Llanberis Lake Railway.

At Kingfisher Self Catering Holidays we aim to be dog friendly - not just "dog tolerant"!   Dog owners are valued guests, not an inconvenience to be "put up" with, and we aim to provide top quality accommodation for all our guest both two and four legged.

All our chalets and lodges welcome your dogs. We don't put a strict "Limit" on the number of dogs per property, but we do suggest that you have a chat with us before you book so that we can be sure you get the most comfortable accommodation for your stay.

The accommodation is as practical as possible without compromising on comfort or style.  All accommodation (except Lakeview) has a fully enclosed decked balcony, so you can sit out and enjoy the surroundings without worrying about your four legged friend wandering off.

Dog food and water bowls, beach towels, doggy beach toys (Tennis balls and a frisbee), "poop" bags and a dog-walking torch for late night walks are provided in each chalet.  We ask that you bring your dogs own bedding.  This will help them settle into their new "home from home".

Local information on dog friendly pubs, restaurants, walks, beaches and vets/day boarding kennels is provided in the accommodation, but please feel free to give us a call and discuss where you can take your dogs to make the most of your holiday.

The Holiday Park itself is great for taking your dogs for a stroll.  You can walk beside the lake or along the river, and doggy bins are provided at convenient intervals.  The Park is close to some great dog friendly beaches.  Most beaches have "doggy" and "non doggy" areas, all year round.  The beach at Dinas Dinelle is just 6 miles away and is a dog walkers paradise, with miles of sandy beach. This is our personal favourite, and we spend many hours watching the dogs dashing in and out of the waves and chasing their tennis ball. We are also about 1 and a half miles from the footpath which runs right alongside the Menai Straits.  This is a fantastic place to walk the dogs, especially in the evening as you get the added bonus of some spectacular sunsets.

Snowdon and all the walks the area has to offer is just a 10 minute car ride away.

We understand how hard it can be to find good accommodation that welcomes your whole family and your dogs. However, to ensure the comfort of all our guests Both dog lovers and non dog lovers) for years to come, we do have a few simple house rules with regard to out doggy guests.  We would also like to remind you of some useful tips for a safe and happy holiday. It’s important to point out that taking a dog friendly holiday does not mean taking a holiday from your responsibilities as a dog owner.

Please keep your dogs on a lead and clean up immediately after them whilst on the park.

Even though your dogs may be perfectly behaved at home, being in a new place can stress them out, so to avoid undue anxiety to your dogs and to make sure they don't chew or scratch any of the chalet furniture, dogs are not allowed to be left unaccompanied in the accommodation. (unless your dogs are accustomed to crates/cages and you bring these with you).  There are many pubs and restaurants locally with outdoor beer gardens which encourage you to take your dogs with you.  The Snowdonia Parc is one of our dog-friendly favourites - the locations is lovely and they even brew their own excellent beer!

You must clean the accommodation thoroughly before you leave, including any hairs from the carpets.  A good quality vacuum is provided for your use in each chalet.  If you don't leave the chalet clean and tidy you will be charged for any extra cleaning that is required.  Fortunately we have very rarely had to impose this condition on any of our guests.

Dogs are not allowed on furniture but sofa throws are provided and we ask that you use them if you think that your dogs may sneak onto the furniture.

Dogs are not allowed in the bedrooms under any circumstances.  We provide a baby gate in each chalet and we ask that you use it to keep your dogs out of the bedrooms if necessary.

For the comfort and convenience of other holidaymakers on the Park, please don't allow you dogs to cause a nuisance by barking.
