Exploring Conwy Valley with your furry friend? Look no further! Here are five fantastic, dog-friendly spots recommended by Joey, where both you and your canine companion can enjoy delightful meals and wonderful atmospheres.

1. Fairy Falls Pub, Trefriw

Just a five-minute walk from Old Rectory Cottage, the Fairy Falls Pub is a dog-friendly gem. You and your dog are welcome inside and in the restaurant area. The highlight here is the delicious Nepalese cuisine. For an added treat, take the scenic pathway to the pub, crossing a charming little bridge and visiting the Fairy Falls along the way.

2. Old Ship Inn, Trefriw

While not dog-friendly indoors, the Old Ship Inn boasts a fabulous garden where dogs are more than welcome. This lovely garden backs onto the River Conwy, making it a perfect spot for enjoying great pub grub on a warm summer’s day. It’s also within walking distance from Old Rectory Cottage, ideal for a leisurely stroll.

3. Yr Hen Danerdy Café, Llanrwst

A 15-minute walk from the cottage, including a scenic walk over the stunning Gower suspension bridge, brings you to the Yr Hen Danerdy Café. This very dog-friendly café goes the extra mile with treats for your dog! It’s a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy some local delights.

4. Y Stablau, Betws y Coed

After a day exploring the mountains, Y Stablau in Betws y Coed is the perfect place to unwind. Dogs are allowed both inside and outside, and there’s even a special dog menu! With a “Paws on the Floor” policy, it’s an atmospheric spot for both food and drinks. Just turn up any day of the week as no advanced bookings are required.

5. The Albion Ale House, Conwy

Joey’s favourite is the Albion Ale House, a charming 1920s pub renowned for its dog-friendliness. Dogs are welcomed with snacks, and you might even get a treat! With its 5* reviews and a range of local real ales, it’s a must-visit. Park at the long-stay car park by Conwy Castle and enjoy a runaround at Bodlondeb fields and woods before strolling along Conwy Quay.
