This weekend, we whisked our little family off for a fantastical adventure to Top Of The Woods—a hideaway truly smothered in lush, sprawling woodlands and large fields in Pembrokeshire. It was so much more than a short break from the busy lives that we lead, almost a soulful retreat into the embrace of nature with our adored Charlie, tail wagging away ready to sniff out new adventures as he led the way.
Is Top Of The Woods Dog Friendly?
You bet your bottom biscuit it is! This haven doesn’t just put a smile on pups; it celebrates them. From the moment your furry friend steps a paw on the green green fields, they become part of that family. Acres to run, explore, sniff – a paradise for any pooch.
The Team at Top of the Woods knows that dogs are so much more than just pets; they’re family, too. That’s probably why they have gone to great lengths to ensure that your furry companion is also having as much fun as you. There are plenty of doggie bins in handy spots so you can keep clean and tidy while having fun. At the same time, any waggy-tailed adventurers will be met with a warm welcome, making them feel at home right from the beginning. And it doesn’t stop here. With plenty of sticks to chase and fields to roam, you know they’re having as much fun as you. Top of the Woods simply works to make your holiday enjoyable for you and your furry friend.
Our Experience At Top Of The Woods
Our adventure began when Top of The Woods, the gem for dog friendly glamping in Wales, invited us to discover their scenic site. Being able to share this with Charlie, indulging in new sights and smells, sent our excitement right through the roof. Glamping in Pembrokeshire gave us the luxurious way of camping without needing to carrying camping gear. Essentially, we needed a small overnight bag, Charlie’s stuff, and readiness for adventure.

Warm Welcome
From the second our feet hit Top of the Woods’ grounds, relaxation began creeping into our bones. Under an umbrella of tranquility and nature, wrapped by the sun’s embrace and the melodies of birds, we were home. And Charlie? He was sniffing up fresh country scents, his tail wagging back and forth like a little propeller.
The courtyard was surrounded by Georgian farm beauty. It wasn’t just a field; let’s face it, it was a little village that was about to open its arms to us. Co-founder Soo, and Dylan, her furball of canine friendliness, gave us the warmest of welcomes.

In Awe of the Tour
Our tour revealed the extent of accommodation and the facilities available here. From Safari Lodges to Bell Tents, communal fire-pit, and all the comforts of modern amenities, there was a new surprise waiting around every bend. The Dutch barn, with its bright yellow straw bales and sprinkles of extremely quaint bunting, saw itself elevated into an instant favourite—a delicious den for communal dining or reclining in a quiet afternoon in the hammock garden.

Feeling right at home
Our Pioneer Tent was very boutique-y, with an outdoor kitchen and a campfire spot. Charlie soon found his spot and settled easily into it. The inside consisted of cosy mattresses and a little living space!
Charlie, however, had different ideas. He loved to lie under the hot sun and relax with the wind blowing through his fur. His happiness shone through in those open fields, darting through the grass with vigour that only a happy dog knows.

Surrounding Adventures
From Top of The Woods’ secret waterfall walks to Poppit Sands beach, our days out were endless in variety. But best of all was Charlie’s joy, playing with other dogs against the setting sun.
We returned to camp to cook up some food over the campfire, share stories, and soak up the surrounding beauty under star cover. Yes, the fairy-lit ambiance did add something magical to our nocturnal wanderings at the campsite and really summed up the very essence of our visit.

Thinking of taking a holiday?
In a world of digital distractions, Top of The Woods offers sanctuary. Soo and Jon have created an experience at this dog friendly glamping site in Wales so that you and your four-legged friends can refocus on nature and each other. Wanting to be as relaxed or adventurous as can be, Pembrokeshire certainly has plenty of dog friendly activities to enjoy.
This was our first but definitely not the last time visiting Top of The Woods; we’re already dreaming about the next visit. Top of The Woods is an existence of living and laughing—making lifetime memories, not just a place to stay.
