Our esteemed furry guests kindly submitted their official photographic account of a pretty epic doggy holibob… 😍😂

It appears their stay consisted mainly of:

🐾 Exploring miles and miles of Brechfa Forest
💦 Splashing, paddling and generally getting VERY wet
🌲 Sniffing absolutely EVERYTHING
🐾 Getting suitably muddy
🌅 Taking in some rather spectacular views
❤️ Spending quality time with their hoomans
😴 And finally… collapsing in a heap after another exhausting day of adventures!

Looking at these photos, we think Alice, Gunner & Poppy understood the Brechfa Forest Barns assignment perfectly. 😂🙌🏻

Because THIS is what a doggy holiday here is all about. Forest trails from the doorstep, streams to splash through, mud to stick your nose in and endless adventures to be had… before heading home for a well-earned snooze. 🥰🐾

No wonder the humans sometimes complain that the dogs enjoy their holiday more than they do! 😂

Who has a dog that would be straight in that stream? SHOW US YOUR PICS! ⬇️💦🐶👇

Beautiful Olive, Alex and Mabel — along with their little hooman brother Rupert — making VERY good use of Scentral Bark! 😂🐾

Rolling in the grass ✔️
Charging around like lunatics ✔️
Climbing on the tyres ✔️

Hoomans getting in on the action ✔️
Going home absolutely shattered ✔️😂

This is exactly what our private dog park is all about. A safe, secure space where your dogs can run, sniff, explore, play and generally be their gloriously daft selves. ❤️

And because this is Brechfa Forest Barns, the holiday isn’t just for the humans. In fact, we’re never entirely sure the humans are the main guests… 🤔😂🐶

One of the things that makes a stay at Brechfa Forest Barns just that little bit different… our fabulous BBQ Hut! 😍

Guests can hire the whole hut privately for an evening – light the fire, pour the wine and settle in for a wonderfully cosy night cooking their favourites over the charcoal grill. 🍷🔥🥩

❤️ Romantic dinner for two?
🎂 Birthday or anniversary celebration?
🥂 Private party with friends or family?

Cook together around the open fire, eat, drink, chat and laugh without having to go anywhere – then simply wander back to your cottage when you’re finished. 🥰

Rain? Wind? Typical Welsh weather? Who cares! 😂 You’re tucked up inside with a roaring fire, your music playing and a glass of something lovely.

It’s not just a BBQ… it’s an evening out without ever leaving Brechfa Forest Barns. ❤️🔥

Meet Pumpkin, Dilly & Daisy – three very good girls who stole our hearts this week! From coastal adventures to countryside roaming, they’ve shown us exactly what life at Brechfa Forest Barns is all about. Pumpkin wasn’t happy with the location though & tried to dig her way to Australia 🇦🇺 😂

We spotted them with the most brilliant mug from Aberaeron: “Do you know what I like about people? Their dogs.” 🥰😂 I have to say though we were also quite taken with the trios hoomans 💕

They’ve loved every inch of our woodland – Scentral Bark, rolling fields, and those Carmarthenshire views. 

Thank you Pumpkin, Dilly & Daisy – you made the week. 🐾💚

THIS REVIEW MADE MY DAY! 😍 “George, Connie, Bett THIS REVIEW MADE MY DAY! 😍 

“George, Connie, Betty, Elsie, Martha and Mabel enjoying Scentral Bark & Llansteffan beach.  Never thought we’d all get to go on holiday together, most are rescue pooches who were in a very bad state, so to see them here enjoying themselves is a dream come true for me. Thank you! 

They are having a total ball. George loved the ball pool and the ball on a rope...ball monster extraordinaire that one. They’re in total heaven 👌❣️”

🐾 Every dog deserves a holiday… and these four cer 🐾 Every dog deserves a holiday… and these four certainly made the most of theirs! ❤️

From racing across the sands at Llansteffan Beach, to relaxing in our secure dog park with those breathtaking views, and finishing off with a well-earned doggy ice cream at the National Botanic Garden of Wales... we'd say that's a pretty perfect break. 🐶🍦

Meet our gorgeous four-legged guests:

🖤🤍 Berwick – the short-haired Border Collie
🖤🤍 Campbell – the long-haired Border Collie
🐻 Rosa – the adorable Cockerpoo
🤎 Stanley – the handsome Vizsla

Watching dogs explore new places and return home happy (and usually exhausted!) is one of our favourite parts of what we do.

At Brechfa Forest Barns, your dogs aren't just welcome... they're the VIPs. ❤️

Who's bringing their four-legged best friend on their next adventure? 🐾

🐾 When we say we have secure fencing… we mean it! 🐾 When we say we have secure fencing… we mean it! 🐾

Meet Alfie - official Chief Fence Inspector when we created Scentral Bark, ensuring it is as secure as we say it is! 🐶✔️

Our fun filled private dog park has 6ft upside-down deer fencing. Why upside down? Because the mesh is smallest at the bottom, meaning even tiny escape artists like Chihuahuas can’t squeeze through 🐕

And for those determined diggers?  The land is shale at the base making tunnelling underneath impossible - although it will give those claws a good filing! 

So the only way your dog is getting out… is if you leave the gate open! 😄

That’s one less thing to worry about whilst you’re on your dog friendly holiday.  Simply soak up the peace and quiet knowing your four-legged family members can roam safely.

🐾 Secure.
🐾 Private.
🐾 Beagle tested. 
🐾 Husky tested.
🐾 Chihuahua tested.
🐾 Alfie-approved. ❤️
