What our customers say about their holidays

  On arrival we (my husband and I) were welcomed by Caris who showed us around the lodge, which is absolutely immaculate.

  Both Caris and Kerry are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. We took along our two small dogs, which again were made very welcome and quickly made friends with the pugs and the beautiful Maremma sheepdog, Lexi, who although she towered over our little dogs, became a great favourite with them both! We only had one slight upset during the week we stayed there, and that was on Tuesday we returned to the lodge to find the family's French Bulldogs running loose, we were assured by Caris that they were all friendly, so we went through the gate with our two dogs. Unfortunately, both our dogs were attacked by two of the French Bulldogs, we quickly picked up our dogs, but one of the French Bulldogs continued to jump up,pulling on our dogs tail. Once Caris realised what was happening, she rounded her dogs up and took them back to their kennels. Both Kerry and Caris have apologised to us, which of course we accept, but unfortunately, since it happened, our smallest dog became very wary of going out of the lodge door, nervous of what dogs were around. We have been reassured that Kerry is going to make a seperate area that his dogs can exercise in future, so this will not happen to future guests, and it will not stop us staying there again.

  We recently had the pleasure of staying at Caner Bach Lodge while I was working in the nearby area.

  I was immediately impressed by the friendliness and warmth of the owners, Carys and Kerry. They made us feel welcome from the moment I arrived, and even provided essentials such as bread, milk, and toiletries. The cottage itself was clean, cozy, and well-equipped. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided. The cottage is also located on a working farm, so I enjoyed seeing the animals and taking walks in the surrounding fields or nearby beaches. The cottage and owners are very dog-friendly, so I was able to bring my assistance dog along with me. Carys and Kerry's own dogs and other animals were kept separate from us, but they were happy to let us see them if we were interested. Luna? is a lovely big dog! Overall, we had a wonderful stay at Caner Bach Lodge. The owners are friendly and welcoming, the cottage is clean and cozy, and the location is perfect for those who want to relax and unwind in a rural setting. I would highly recommend Caner Bach Lodge to anyone looking for a dog-friendly cottage getaway in South Wales.

  Your description of ‘there are dogs on site’ is in no way adequate to describe the fact that there are around fifteen dogs on site all running around free and barking.

  They are mainly French Bulldogs and Pugs which are being bred from but there are also two very large dogs, a Maremma and a Tibetan Mastiff, both bred for guarding. Unfortunately a wandering sheep, a hiker or the local farmer haymaking is enough to send the Maremma rushing to the gate barking which sets all the others off. This was in no way a peaceful holiday and after witnessing two very nasty dog fights in which the whole pack attacked the newest addition we returned home after six days, although booked in for two weeks. I would advise anybody planning to take their own dog with them on holiday to think twice and if you go ahead then be extremely careful. I would add that my husband and I have had dogs all our lives and are totally confident around them, which is just as well.

  Despite the weather, my daughter and I had a lovely few days staying on the Orient Express! The setting and view are just beautiful and I imagine that when the weather is dry, it is idilic! I would suggest packing wellies and waterproofs as the farm is fairly high so the weather doesn’t always match the forecast. Whilst the bed is very comfortable and snug, it is very high. At 5’3”, I had some issues getting in and out. Despite the it saying there is Wi-Fi, we were unable to connect- this was only an issue for us as we were relying on internet access to plan our activities and routes for the next day. If you want music, download before you leave home. After long hikes, the hot tub was bliss. Overall, we would highly recommend the Orient Express as a get away from it all stay!

  This Property was brilliant! They had everything you could want there so no need to pack anything but clothes and some food. Was super dog-friendly. Being set on a large field made it perfect for my dog to walk around whilst we are at the cabin. The hosts made sure the place was spotless for us and they included booklets with local shops, restaurants, etc, and all things you can do in the area. They had a large bowl and a small one for your dog with a stand. There was plenty of room inside. The bed was super comfy! And they supplied plenty of BBQ and log burner supplies to keep you going for a good week . We have already booked our next stay with them next month ! Very very happy with our stay and would recommend to anyone
