Autumn is on the horizon, and as the rush of summer begins to fade, Cardigan Bay becomes wonderfully peaceful, perfect for a dog-friendly holiday in West Wales. Step into a world of peace and serenity in one of our four luxury cottages for a relaxing coastal break with a hot tub, and explore the calm of the Welsh coastline as the beaches become quiet once more.
Explore the Tranquil Countryside and Peaceful Beaches
The Welsh countryside turns into a beautiful auburn haven during Autumn. The fierce morning sun cuts through the crisp air, as golden leaves paint the country lanes. Take a stroll through the winding lanes with no set destination before returning to your adult-only cottage to put your feet up in front of the roaring fire.
Cardigan Bay is gorgeous all year round, but as the summer crowds fade, the coastline returns to its serene state, just waiting to be explored. Amble along the quiet beaches, most of which are dog-friendly, so your furry best friend can stretch their legs along the golden sand and leap through the crashing waves.
As you wander along the tranquil beaches or venture along the coastal path, look out for the incredible wildlife around the bay. Autumn is the perfect time to spot seal pups sheltering in hidden coves along the coast, but be mindful not to get too close. You could also be lucky enough to spot dolphins leaping on the shore.
Experience Peace and Tranquility in our Private Cottages with Hot Tubs
As the colder, darker nights draw in, the skies around Dology Cottages light up with thousands of twinkling stars. Our cottages are situated in a spectacular dark skies location in the Welsh countryside, perfect for stargazing!
Emerge yourself in the heat of the swirling bubbles of your private Jacuzzi hot tub and watch as the starry canvas paints the skies. Enjoy a glass of bubbly, and let all your worries melt away as you savour a moment of complete relaxation.
