Craig Walker, October 2024

Excellent hosts and the accommodation and facilities are super dog friendly.


James Hughes, October 2024

What a great dog friendly holiday location. The outdoor area in the cottage and the dog field were great for our Burmese mountain dog Vincent. Alex and Emma are so sweet and welcoming too! We will be back next year for sure.


Catherine Magrath, October 2024

The dog paddock is just so useful and has really stunning views of Cardigan Bay and Strumble Head Lighthouse. We love having a glass of wine, watching the dogs run about and the sunset.


Lou Swoffer, October 2024

Perfect place for dogs…walk straight to lovely coastal paths and beaches without having to go on the roads…cozy cottages with wood burners which your mutts will no doubt monopolise…even a contained safe dog walking/training field (with sea views).


Guy Richards, October 2024

Just Brilliant!! Welcome, service, hospitality and facilities!


Saskia Mills, October 2024

I’ve stayed twice at CymConnell and I the Mitchell’s have been so welcoming each time and it’s the perfect place to take your dog. Mabel my furry best friend LOVES the walk from the cottage to the beach through the forest. Would definitely recommend time and time again


Scot Johnston, October 2024

A fabulous location and Alex and Emma have gone to so much effort to ensure the dogs enjoy the holiday as much as their owners.

Great dog field and dog friendly accommodation so we'll thought out. A huge success.


Gilly Morgan, October 2024

Amazing dog friendly


Gwyneth Ashcroft, October 2024

I voted for Cwm Connell Costal Cottages because firstly Emma and Alex give an exceedingly warm welcome to me and my dog, everything is provided to make it easy to have a dog on holiday, a field for them to run in, and stunning local walks. What's more the cottages are beautifully decorated, warm and comfortable.


Jess Hines, October 2024

Just EXCELLENT dog facilities, our dog Elsie was a very happy pampered pooch!


Sally Johnston, October 2024

Luxury for dogs and humans in a beautiful peaceful setting. Wonderful hosts nothing is too much trouble to make your stay memorable.


sarah rivett-carnac, October 2024

Great hosts, really comfortable and everything that my 2 dogs could want was anticipated.


Joe, October 2024

Dog 'friendly' is an understatement. When I took my hound there he was allowed literally everywhere! He was quite shocked because he's not allowed that much freedom at home. Apart from the cottage there is a dog wash, a very large fenced paddock where the dogs can run free and the owners could not be more friendly or helpful. The walking from your front door is exceptional. It has become a yearly go to. If you want to spoil your dog you have to take them here. Oh, and it's great for humans too!


Bryony Morris, October 2024

Had a beautiful stay here recently, Emma and Alex were so accommodating with wonderful facilities for dog owners and lots of great walks nearby. Loved the dog paddock with views down to the coast.


Phoebe Partridge, October 2024

Stunning location with fields, coastal walks and beaches all within walking distance. Highly recommended!


Sienna Ambler, October 2024

The cottages are so beautiful inside and out, making it such a gorgeous treat to relax and enjoy time there. The location is perfect, just a short walk through gorgeous woodland down to the bay and the coastal path with the best swimming spots in Wales. Emma and Alex have created such a warming and welcoming place in such a special part of the UK.


Ed ambler, October 2024

Beautiful and classy with a high attention to detail; cleverly thought out amenities and instructions in quality accommodation.

Most importantly, they love dogs to bits, and with its excellent location on the coast there are superb coastal path walks and stunning hills nearby too.

Simply lovely 🥰

SUSAN POLHILL, October 2024

The cottages are exceptionally welcoming for dogs (and owners), with a wonderful field for dogs to roam off lead, advice on walks, dog friendly beaches and cafes, treats, bowls, towels and fleece rugs provided for dogs, in an already very well equipped cottage. The friendly and warm attitude of the owners made all the difference.


Tracey Disney-Botelho, October 2024

Totally dog friendly, wonderful hosts & stunning location.


Christine Kaye, October 2024

Brilliant, friendly owners. Our assisted cottage was very clean and comfortable. We were and bit dubious about only having a courtyard for 2 large dogs but boy did the secure 4 acre field with sea views and seating make up for it. Will be visiting again next year for a very relaxing holiday and happy dogs....


Helen Wilcock, October 2024

Simply the most dog friendly place we have ever stayed. Couldn’t fault it.

Wonderful location, delightful hosts, excellent accommodation


Georgie Ruthven, September 2024

At Cwm Connell Coastal Cottages, Emma & Alex Mitchell are devoted to their own dogs, so know exactly what guests require for a perfect stay with theirs. There is a whole paddock known as the ‘dog paddock’ , where guests can take their pooch for a stroll, close to their cottage, with the most outstanding views, before heading out later on one of the many longer coastal paths. Cannot recommend Cwm Connell enough for a relaxed, friendly & comfortable holiday. I am a regular ! 🦮😊

Theo Hughes, September 2024

I have been several times and not only are all the cottages perfectly suited to housing dogs, the cottages are located almost right on the coastal path with the most beautiful dog walks on your doorstep. Alex and Emma are always so happy to welcome another dog to join their own.

They have really gone to doggy town as well as happy humansville with the facilities and services at their stunningly beautiful property. … set in the wilds of the Pembrokeshire Coastline. They’ve created an oasis of “holiday perfect peace of mind” for their dog owner guests. Every aspect of dog well being has been considered- allowing the owners freedom to plan a great holiday. This all takes a heck of good planning, research and hard work to create. They absolutely deserve to win !

My husband, myself and our Border Terrier, Elsie, had a delightful 4 night stay at Ty Twt. The cottage was just right and everything was in place for a dog friendly break. Emma and Alex were so welcoming and the information pack is the best I have ever seen. All the information on dog friendly places and favourite walks was so useful.

The paddock is incredible and Elsie loved it.

Highly recommended.


Alex, June 2024

Amazing cottage, super stylish and luxurious. Great access to lovely beach. All round 10/10. We loved it, dog loved it! Spa was fab and the country side and scenery are beautiful . Emma made us feel so welcome. Only sad I didn’t manage any yoga in the amazing studio with stunning view out to sea. Complementary Honey butter Yum!!!!

Thank you


Maria Selefkou Taylor, August 2023

We recently came back from our first stay here.

From point of enquiry to arriving home both Emma and Alex are warm friendly and welcoming, incredibly helpful and naturally put you at ease.

Everything at the cottages has been carefully thought about for you and your pets. And even allow for all the home comforts your dogs might be use to. The dog paddock was a godsend for our 3 weimaraners who need lots of exercise. The dog throws and blankets along with the dog towels were not in short supply and the the dog cleaning area was useful for their muddy paws.

There really is nothing that they haven’t thought about. It is a very safe and secure facility. Not only will your pets will love it but you will to. The beautiful furnishings the locally sourced blankets, the stunning way all of it comes together to make feel very luxurious makes you feel like you are away. You are also guaranteed a great night sleep thanks to the super comfy beds . All in all there is really nothing that I would say is a negative.

Thank you so much for having us. We wiould highly recommend these cottages and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Mark, Maria and family.


Nina, August 2023

We had a great week with 2dogs in tow. Emma and Alex made us feel very welcome with all you could want for dogs and humans. The paddock was a hit with the dogs, as was being able to do some long walks on the coastal path right from the door. Poppit Sands and Newport Sands are both close and dog friendly and Emma provides handy information about local walks, places to eat and towns.

We also made good use of the hot tub, especially on rainy days!


Penny, November 2021

Lovely place with lovely hosts….we stayed there just 2wks ago and had a lovely time….we did have a small issue but Emma and Alex were on it and tried to sort very quickly. The paddock was perfect for giving the dogs a walk 1st thing and has fabulous sunset views….there are some great walks from the door and the nearby beaches are amazing….it was peaceful and quiet and the dogs had a fantastic time….enjoyed ourselves so much we have booked to go back next year…. Thanks again Emma and Alex
