Welcome to South Wales’ first purpose built dog facilities. Our Secure Dog Adventure and Dog Sensory parks offer a safe, secure and enriching environment for you and your dog to enjoy some quality, one-to-one time together. Our Luxury Dog Hotel offers a 5 star, premium stay for your pup. As the first purpose-built Luxury Dog Hotel in South Wales, here at The Cwtch we offer a daily routine that incorporates the perfect amount of physical stimulation, social interaction, mental enrichment and human company.
We are a family run business that combines knowledge and experience with professionalism and a passion for the love of animals. A superior, 5*environment that is safe, stimulating, fun and loving.
​
Our idea to create South Wales’s first purpose-built secure Dog Parks and Dog hotel first stemmed back in 2015 and shortly after, the long process of writing our business plan began! We’d recently welcomed our English Pointer puppy, Hathaway into our family and quickly realised just how much our local area lacked dog facilities and how difficult it was to find places to walk dogs locally, in a safe and secure environment.
With the business plan all signed off in 2017, we then began the very long hunt for the right place to bring our idea to life. Luck was on our side in 2020 when we came across Little Cwrt Bach Farm. A run down, 29 acre plot nestled in the countryside of Henllys, just 1.6 miles from Cwmbran and 3.6 miles from Newport. We put in our offer and moved in during the Summer of 2020, peak lockdown. It was everything we could have imagined and more! So much work needed to be done but it was the perfect place to create our vision and we were so excited to get started! Hathaway very quickly adjusted to his new role of ‘farm dog’ and spent his days running free in the fields and squirrel spotting.
Since the covid pandemic had delayed the build of our Luxury dog Hotel, we turned our attention to creating our secure Dog Parks. We spent our lockdown days landscaping the over-grown terrain, designing the park obstacles and bringing our vision to life. With a lot of help from family and friends, we opened our Dog Adventure Park in October 2021, shortly followed by South Wales’s first Dog Sensory Park in June 2022!
​We are now well into our journey of The Cwtch and we couldn't be prouder. It has been so amazing to see our vision come to life and watch our parks being enjoyed by all types of dogs and owners. We are also extremely proud to have received over 500+ 5 star reviews on Facebook and google, as well as winning ‘South Wales dog field of the year 2024’!
Following the success of our Secure Dog parks, we opened our brand new, purpose-built Luxury dog hotel in June 2024. Offering a premium, home from home, staycation for pups, the perfect alternative to a traditional boarding kennels. As dog owners ourselves, we understand the importance of finding the perfect place to board your pup when you go away. We designed and built our Dog Hotel from the ground up with pups and owners in mind, ensuring we create a fun, social, stimulating and homely set up for your pup to enjoy- their favourite staycation! ​
Here at The Cwtch, our mission is to be the home of dog staycations and adventure in Wales. We strive to provide your dog with an unforgettable, fun staycation with us. Providing them with the same love and attention as they would receive back home. Dogs deserve to have their own space, where they can sniff, climb, stretch, run and work all their muscle groups and develop strength and confidence whilst doing so. We believe that all dogs should be able to enjoy the freedom and stimulation that off-lead play and adventure can offer them, and that all dog owners should have a safe space where they can develop and nurture that ever growing, and very special bond between them and their dog.
