Dog Friendly Holidays at Swallow Tree
Swallow Tree provides the perfect destination for your dog friendly holiday. As a family run park, we understand that no holiday is complete without your loyal and loving companion. Bordering the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, there is an abundance of walks and direct access to the beach. We have a select number of dog friendly caravans and lodges with both sea and woodland views, along with a range of additional features designed to make your dog's stay as comfortable as possible.
Staying at Swallow Tree with Your Dog
We love welcoming dogs to Swallow Tree and many of our guests return year after year with their four-legged companions. To help everyone enjoy a safe and comfortable stay, we've put together some useful information about bringing your dog on holiday with you.

Dog Friendly Accommodation
  • One dog is permitted in our dog-friendly accommodation and a small nightly charge applies.
  • We understand that dogs come in all shapes and sizes and are always happy to discuss individual requirements before booking.
  • To help us maintain high standards for all guests, we ask that guests take care of the holiday home during their pet's stay. Additional deep cleaning charges may apply if necessary following departure.
  • For the safety and comfort of all guests, dogs prohibited under the Dangerous Dogs Act (1991) cannot be accommodated at Swallow Tree Gardens. Guests are responsible for ensuring that any dogs brought to the park comply with all relevant legislation and control requirements.
What's Provided
We have equipped our dog friendly accommodation with a few items and features that we feel will make your dog's stay more comfortable:
  • Dog bed
  • Secure and private decking
  • Outside taps for rinsing sandy paws
  • Hose and spray nozzle
  • Pet feeding bowls
We do recommend bringing your dog's own bedding, as familiar items can help them settle more comfortably into their new surroundings.
If you routinely use a crate for your dog, we encourage you to bring this with you for use within your holiday home.
We ask that dogs are kept off soft furnishings and remain within areas where laminate flooring is fitted.
Park Guidelines
We want you and your much-loved dog to enjoy every moment of your stay and ask that, in the interests of safety and the enjoyment of other guests, the following guidelines are observed:
  • Please keep your dog on a lead at all times whilst within Swallow Tree grounds.
  • Dogs must be under the control of a responsible adult.
  • Your dog should not be left unattended in your holiday home for extended periods of time.
  • Dogs must wear a collar and ID tag.
  • Excluding assistance dogs, your dog should not enter accommodation that is not designated as pet friendly.
  • Please ensure that you clean up after your pet both on the park and whilst out and about exploring Pembrokeshire

Dog Friendly Pembrokeshire

Our Local Recommendation

While Pembrokeshire has no shortage of fantastic beaches, we're fortunate to have some wonderful coastal walks quite literally on our doorstep.

Swallowtree Bay is just a stone's throw from the park and offers a peaceful spot for a morning walk, an afternoon paddle, or simply taking in the coastal views. From here, the coastline can be explored in both directions. To the north, the coastal path leads towards The Glen and Saundersfoot, offering a scenic route that combines woodland, beach and harbour views. To the south, the coastline opens out towards Monkstone Point, where spectacular views across Carmarthen Bay make it one of our favourite local walks.

If you're staying nearby and looking for somewhere to explore with your dog, these local favourites are well worth adding to your list.

The Surrounding Coastline

With over 50 beaches welcoming dogs, Pembrokeshire is widely known as one of the most dog-friendly coastal destinations in the UK. From vast sandy stretches such as Freshwater West and Marloes Sands to hidden coves like Swanlake Bay and the world-famous Barafundle Bay, there is no shortage of places to explore with your four-legged companion.

Many beaches welcome dogs throughout the year. Some popular choices amongst visitors include Freshwater West, Marloes Sands, Barafundle Bay, Manorbier, Swanlake Bay, Newport Sands and Broad Haven South, all offering spectacular scenery, plenty of space and access to some of the finest sections of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Further details can be found through Visit Pembrokeshire's Dog-Friendly Beach Guide

Some of Pembrokeshire's beaches operate seasonal restrictions during the busiest summer months. Restrictions vary from beach to beach, so we always recommend checking the latest guidance before setting out. Visit beach-restrictions for further information.

To help keep Pembrokeshire enjoyable for all, be sure to follow the guidance set out in The National Trust's Canine Code

Beyond The Coastline

Many of Pembrokeshire’s castles and heritage sites are also dog friendly, offering an easy way to enjoy the area’s history whilst on holiday with your pet. Manorbier Castle and Pembroke Castle all provide spacious grounds and scenic surroundings ideal for relaxed exploring on lead, while Lamphey Bishop’s Palace offers a quieter stop-off with plenty of character.

For those who enjoy walking, the area is equally rewarding inland. The Preseli Hills offer wide, open landscapes perfect for longer walks, while the Bosherston Lily Ponds, Stackpole Estate and Colby Woodland Garden provide some of the most picturesque woodland, waterside and beautiful natural surroundings. Sections of the Cleddau estuary also offer gentler routes, ideal for slower-paced exploring. With woodland walks available directly from Swallow Tree, many guests find there's no need to venture far. However Canaston Woods and Minwear Woods remain favourites with local dog walkers, offering miles of peaceful trails through some of Pembrokeshire's most beautiful woodlands. We've included a link here for anyone wishing to explore this beautiful area further Woodland walks
For dogs who enjoy running off lead, there are several secure dog exercise fields available across Pembrokeshire. The nearest option to Swallow Tree is Saundersfoot Dog Park, located just a short drive away near Kilgetty. A number of other secure spaces can also be found across the county, offering similar private bookable slots where dogs can exercise freely, practice recall training, or simply enjoy a safe run in a secure environment. While Pembrokeshire has countless beaches, woodlands and open countryside walks, secure dog fields can be particularly useful for nervous dogs, young puppies, rescue dogs or those still developing confidence off lead.

There are also a number of dog-friendly attractions and places to visit throughout the area. Heatherton World of Activities welcomes dogs in its outdoor areas, while Llys-y-Frân Lake combines open countryside, family-friendly facilities and plenty of space to explore. And If you're looking to spoil your dog during your holiday, The Pet Bakery in Haverfordwest offers a range of handmade treats, celebration cakes and dog-friendly goodies that have become popular with local pet owners and visitors alike. In addition, many cafés, pubs and small local businesses throughout Tenby, Saundersfoot and Narberth are welcoming to dogs, making it easy to plan relaxed days out without leaving them behind.
Additional Useful Information For Dog Visitors

Whilst we hope you and your dog enjoy a trouble-free stay, it's always reassuring to know that local services are close at hand should you need them. Whether you're looking for veterinary care, pet supplies or simply a special treat for your four-legged companion, there are a number of useful services available nearby.

For veterinary care, there are two near by: Tenby Vets and Market Hall in Kilgetty. If you require veterinary assistance during your stay, we recommend contacting a practice directly for the most up-to-date information and services. If your dog has any ongoing medical conditions or requires regular veterinary care, you may find it helpful to contact a local veterinary practice before your holiday to familiarise yourself with their services and emergency arrangements

For pet supplies, many local veterinary practices stock a range of everyday essentials, whilst larger pet retailers can be found in Haverfordwest.
We have compiled this guide using local knowledge and information available at the time of writing. As dog-friendly policies, seasonal restrictions and opening arrangements can change, we always recommend checking directly with individual venues before travelling. If you're looking for guidance and recommendations during your stay, our team are always happy to help.
