Hi Doggie Chums,

Although we're happy to run around on the beach or in the forest all day, everyday our families sometimes want to go somewhere else.  This page is where I'm starting to list local places that we can take them.  Email me at Whiskey@cadairviewlodge.co.uk if you have any favourite places that I've missed out.

A special "well done" and "thank you" to all of the doggies and their owners who've visited CADW sites since April 2009.  Due to your good behaviour CADW are slowly extending the number of their properties that we are allowed to visit with your families. 

Castell y Bere CADW have just announced the first of its sites to allow doggie visitors and this is one of them.  For More Information
Criccieth Castle And here's another CADW castle that we can visit.  For More Information
Dolbadarn Castle And here's another CADW castle that we can visit.  For More Information
National Slate Museum, Llanberis There aren't many museums which allow us dogs in but this one does.  You have to stay on a lead whilst you're looking around... there's lots of big machines so it is best.  There's free drinks for dogs at the museum entrance and by the cafe but remember that you have to go out of the museum if you need to go to the loo - but the staff will tell you where to go if you get desperate!
Steam Railways Ever fancied yourself as a Station Dog or have you watched the Baker's advert and wished that you could drive a train or just wave the flag?  Well here's your chance.  You can travel free on Bala Lake Railway and Fairbourne Railway.  You have to pay on Welsh Highland Railway, the Ffestiniog Railway, the Llanberis Lake Railway and the Talyllyn Railway.  The other local railways don't allow dogs.  Remember that trains are big, scary, noisy things and only suitable for the bravest (or deafest) of dogs.
   
Places to eat When I'm hungry I'm quite happy for my bowl to be put down anywhere but our families often like to go "out" to eat - which usually actually means "in" somewhere.  Some dogs out there have given us all a bad reputation and so pubs and restaurants often won't let us in with our families.  Here are some forward thinking establishments who will let us in... but please remember to be on your best behaviour - only eat the sausages that are passed under the table to you... no jumping up!

Rhiw Goch Inn - the local pub to the cabins.

George III at Penmaenpool - dogs welcome, but please check on arrival where it's best to sit.

The Grapes at Maentwrog - dogs welcome in the bar

   
Shops That Welcome Us (places where you don't have to stand outside on your lead) Alison Bradley Gallery, Betws-y-Coed - Alison has told me personally that she welcomes opinions of the art in her gallery, from well behaved doggies.  In return (if she's not too busy) they can expect a tickle and a fuss.
   
Places that we con't go Although it takes some finding on their website (look on the FAQ page) dogs are not allowed into Portmeirion and have to stay in the car... no fun at all as it looks like a really lovely place!   As you can see above CADW don't allow us pets to visit all of their properties yet.  Check before travelling if you're unsure.
