The Slate Shed at Graig Wen, Snowdonia
This peaceful boutique B&B in the glorious Snowdonia National Park is a cosy, characterful base for exploring the glorious scenery on offer. There are five rooms, all of them dog-friendly and decorated in a bright, contemporary style. There are tremendous walks right on your doorstep and tons to do in the area, from hiring a bike in the village of Dolgellau and cycling to the local pub to exploring nearby beaches just five minutes away.
Tackle Cader Idris, the spectacular mountain at the back of Graig Wen, or climb the waterfalls at Arthog. The George III pub is a great place to stop off for a beer and a bite, and it’s thoroughly dog-friendly.
Harlech Castle, Portmeirion and the Ffestiniog Steam Railway are within easy reach. Plus the area around The Slate Shed is a fabulous place for stargazing, with some of the most seriously dark skies in this part of the Snowdonia National Park.
