Bridgend’s got two genuinely dog-friendly hotels and a couple of camping options, but honestly, self-catering cottages are thin on the ground here. Here’s exactly what I could confirm, and where the gaps are.
Hotels
- Best Western Premier Heronston Hotel & Spa, Ewenny Road, Bridgend, CF35 5AW · Google Maps · listing on DogFriendly.co.uk — up to 2 dogs welcome in 4 newly refurbished pet-friendly Deluxe Double rooms, with a reported £10/night fee and an exercise area on site. Policies change, so ring the hotel direct on 01656 668811 to confirm the current fee and room availability before booking.
- Coed-y-Mwstwr Hotel, Coychurch, near Bridgend, CF35 6AF · Google Maps · PetsPyjamas listing — Visit Bridgend’s own tourism site names this hotel as dog-friendly, with a doggy afternoon tea on the menu. We couldn’t reach a page on the hotel’s own site confirming room-level policy or a fee, so phone ahead to check before you book.
Camping and touring
- Dan-y-Graig Holiday Park, Bridgend · Pitchup.com listing — a grass campsite taking dogs, with primitive pitches from £30/night. No dog-specific fee or limit is published, so check at booking.
- Our Welsh Caravan and Camping, Bridgend · Pitchup.com listing — also takes dogs, pitches from £29/night, though Pitchup shows it reopening for the 2027 season rather than currently available — worth checking directly before planning a trip.
What we couldn’t confirm
Self-catering is genuinely thin here: a search of Country Cottages Online for Bridgend County Borough returned zero matching properties. If you’d rather have a dog-friendly cottage than a hotel or campsite, it’s worth widening your search towards the Vale of Glamorgan or Rhondda Cynon Taf.
If you’re staying somewhere new with your dog, it’s worth having a visit to a Bridgend vet on your radar just in case, and our dog swimming spots in Bridgend guide is worth a look if you’re near the coast. Travelling unsettles some dogs more than others — Calmshops’ calming collars and treats are something I always pack for Figo when we’re away from home.
