Dog with owner

Mother's Day is just around the corner and the day is becoming increasingly popular amongst dog parents who want to celebrate the day with their fur-babies.

Raising a puppy or welcoming a new dog into your home is no small task. It’s a lot of work and similar to parenting, owning a pet teaches us about patience, responsibility and providing love and care around the clock!

With this said, there’s no doubt that dog mamas deserve recognition on Mother’s Day too.

Take a look at our top picks in Bridgend for celebrating the dog mama in your life!

Doggy afternoon tea

The Coed y Mwstwr Hotel is a charming Victorian mansion set in Bridgend in a leafy, wooded hillside and is the perfect place to enjoy a delectable Afternoon Tea this Mother’s Day. And the best bit? Your fur baby can enjoy one too! Their doggy Afternoon Tea will treat your pampered pooch to a selection of goodies including bacon and peanut butter bone biscuit, chicken and beef meatloaf and yoghurt paw pops, plus a bottle of Pawsecco to wash it down with!

Wine and dine

If a delicious dinner and a few drinks is the way to the heart of your dog mama, The Jolly Sailor is a great option!

It is Porthcawl's oldest pub and has a nautical feel and beautiful views of the green and 12th Century St John the Baptist church. It’s popular with dog parents due to dog snacks being available for your four-legged friends to enjoy whilst you relax and dig in to a tasty dinner.

Stay the night

When you become a dog parent and you have a little bundle of fluff depending on you, nights away become a bit of a distant memory. However, Bridgend has many places that you and your pooch can stay the night.

The Great House is a beautiful hotel, full of character and original features, and is situated in a stunning rural setting and is home to one of the leading restaurants in South Wales.

You and your pooch can book in to one of the dog friendly rooms in the hotel and can curl up and relax in the cocktail bar for the evening to celebrate the great job you’re doing as a dog mama!

The lush scenery at Parc Slip Nature Reserve & Visitor Centre is more than enough to make a visit worthwhile - but throw in a sighting of the Highland Cattle and a gorgeous sunset - and you’ve got the perfect scene to feast your eyes upon! 🌅

We harbour a lot of love for Porthcawl’s pretty little Marina. There are boat-loads of reasons to spend some time at the picturesque spot. 🌊🛥️

Sitting alongside Porthcawl’s newly developed Cosy Corner, it’s the perfect place to enjoy the sunshine with an ice cream or grab a bite to eat from one of the excellent nearby restaurants and cafes. 🍦☕

Our trails earn wagging tails. 🐶

If you want to treat your pooch to some of the best walking Wales has to offer, you’ll do well to better the scenic routes on offer across Bridgend County, like this paw-fect woodland in the Garw Valley. 🐾🌳
