The Byre | Llandysul Dog Friendly Barn | Single Level Wales Retreat

 Inside The Byre

The Byre is designed for social, easy living. You can park right outside the front door and step into a space filled with rustic charm.

• Lounge & Diner: Features underfloor-heated stone floors and a cosy woodburner. French doors lead out to the garden, offering a low threshold that’s easy to navigate.

• The Kitchen: A beautiful rustic pine kitchen, fully equipped with a dishwasher, electric oven, ceramic hob, and that all-important cafetière.

• Bedrooms & Bathroom: Two spacious ground-floor bedrooms with super-comfy beds and a luxury shower room with "gallons of hot water" powered by eco-friendly solar panels.

🌳 The Garden & The Paddock

• Private Garden: Accessed via the French doors, your private garden is a real suntrap. Fenced to 1.2m, it’s been tried and tested by past guests for security!

• Shared Exercise Paddock: Just a few steps away is the 40m x 40m mowed paddock. It is professionally fenced with a 1.2m wire, making it the perfect spot for off-lead zoomies. 🛡️

🐾 Reactive Dog Guide The Byre is a 3-Star Reactive Friendly property. 🤫

• Zero Traffic: Located at the end of a long private track, there is no passing traffic and no unexpected pedestrians.

• Visual Security: The 3-acre boundary of mature trees creates a sense of total isolation in the summer months.

• Secure Play: The shared 40m x 40m paddock can be used for high-energy play in a controlled environment.

Can I leave my dogs unattended? Yes, by prior arrangement with the owners, dogs can be left for short periods.

How secure is the paddock? It is 40m x 40m and fenced to 1.2m. Small dogs can't get under, and it has successfully contained many "Houdini" hounds!
