Ellen’s Castle in Snowdonia for us was amazing. We took two rescue Westhighland Terriers with us Sammy and Lulu and they felt as comfy as we did. Great place to stay so friendly and we’ve stayed in a great many hotels over the years that claim “dog friendly” but should state " dog tolerant". Thankfully Ellen’s Castle certainly was “Dog Friendly”
