Awarded South Wales Dog Park of the Year 2024 & 2025, our secure dog parks offer the perfect solution for dogs who need freedom without worry — from reactive and anxious pups to dogs with no recall or those who simply thrive with safe off-lead play. Our parks are fully enclosed, beautifully maintained and enriched with natural features, making them ideal for confident adventures or gentle, stress-free exercise.

Welcome to your dog’s favourite staycation — where luxury means cage-free comfort, calm routines, and real home-from-home care. As South Wales’ first purpose-built Luxury Dog Hotel, The Cwtch offers a peaceful, kennel-free environment where dogs live just as they do at home — in cosy bedrooms, on soft furnishings, with constant human company and a relaxed daily environment. Every day is carefully balanced with physical exercise, social interaction, mental enrichment and plenty of rest, so your pup stays happy, settled and fulfilled throughout their stay. No concrete outdoor runs. No rows of kennels. Just a warm, calm, enriching space designed entirely around dog wellbeing. For pups who don’t need an overnight stay, our new Exclusive Day Care offers the same premium experience — a safe, stimulating countryside retreat where dogs can play, explore, learn and relax while you go about your day. Whether it’s a fun-filled outing or a comforting routine for more sensitive dogs, The Cwtch gives your dog a day they’ll genuinely enjoy.
Proudly voted South Wales Dog Park of the Year 2024 & 2025, our Dog Adventure Park is designed to give dogs a safe, secure and stimulating space to explore, play and build confidence. Dogs thrive when their bodies and minds are active, and this purpose-built park allows them to enjoy enriching exercise in a peaceful countryside setting. Our Adventure Park includes 8+ pieces of fun, confidence-boosting equipment — from jumps and balance beams to tunnels, mounds and sensory obstacles. Every feature encourages natural behaviours such as running, climbing, exploring and problem-solving, offering low-impact but engaging activities suitable for dogs of all ages, breeds and fitness levels. Whether you want a private, distraction-free session or you’d like to share with a friend, the Adventure Park is available for sole or shared use. You’ll love the freedom, and your dog will love having a whole playground to themselves. Please note: our Luxury Dog Hotel sits opposite the Adventure Park. If you have a particularly nervous or highly reactive dog, our more secluded Dog Sensory Park offers complete privacy away from pick-ups and drop-offs — making it the perfect peaceful alternative.
Proudly voted South Wales Dog Park of the Year 2024 & 2025, our Dog Sensory Park is a carefully designed haven for dogs who need a calmer, confidence-building environment. With around 300 million scent receptors and a powerful brain dedicated to smell, dogs rely heavily on sensory experiences for their wellbeing — and this park has been created with exactly that in mind. Our Sensory Park reduces stress and anxiety by offering your dog a peaceful space full of gentle enrichment. From natural scents and textured pathways to interactive puzzle features and confidence-boosting obstacles, every element is designed to engage your dog’s senses in a positive, nurturing way. This space helps hyperactive dogs slow down and relax, while also helping nervous or reactive dogs feel more settled, secure and in control. As the first Sensory Park in South Wales, it combines the best of both adventure and sensory-led activities — giving your dog the freedom to explore at their own pace, make choices, and build confidence naturally. Perfect for dogs of all ages and temperaments, the Sensory Park is available for sole use for total privacy, or you can choose to share with a friend for a relaxed social session.
