The mountains, valleys, lakes and rivers of Snowdonia are an absolutely wonderful place for walking. And if you are also a dog owner, a little local knowledge about where you and your four-legged friend can enjoy a cafe stop along the way could be really useful.
Not all cafes will accept dogs. So to make life easy for you, we’ve pulled together a useful list of dog-friendly cafes in Snowdonia. This is by no means exhaustive but gives you some ideas around local establishments to try out!
This dog-friendly cafe is set in beautiful settings in Brondanw Gardens in South Snowdonia. Located near the village of Garreg Llanfrothen, just five miles from Porthmadog. Open between April and September, Plas Brondanw Cafe offers a seasonal menu that champions local Welsh produce. And they even have their own unique ice cream flavour – Brandanw Blue, made by Môn ar Lwy of Anglesey!
Designed by Sir William Clough Ellis, who is most famous for creating Portmeirion, this cafe is in a wonderfully relaxed and picturesque setting. Think comfy sofa, dog-friendly and fire roaring in winter months! And sitting outside, with your four-legged friend, looking out over green grass in the Summer. Choose from tasty cooked breakfasts and lunches along with delicious cakes and filling snacks.
