Your dog is as welcome as you are.
One dog welcome per room - at no extra charge. I designed Futurity with dog owners in mind, because I know what it means to travel with your dog and feel like an afterthought everywhere you go.
Meet Maddy
Maddy has been at my side for seventeen years, and she takes her role here seriously: testing the garden for optimal sunbathing, inspecting the rooms [if she's allowed!], and offering a dignified welcome to four-legged guests. Every dog-friendly decision at Futurity has been Maddy-approved.
Dog-Friendly New Quay
New Quay is wonderful with a dog. Dolau Beach — the small sandy cove beside the harbour — welcomes dogs all year round, and the expansive Traeth Gwyn gives you a long stretch of sand to wander together. The main Harbour Beach has just one seasonal rule: dogs aren't allowed on the section between the pier and Penpolion from 1 May to 30 September — but outside those months, it's all theirs.
For a proper adventure, the Wales Coast Path runs straight through the village — New Quay actually marks its halfway point — with clifftop walks in both directions. And some of Cardigan Bay's loveliest year-round dog beaches are a short drive away: Cwmtydu, Penbryn and Mwnt all welcome dogs in every season, whatever the month.
Back in the village, plenty of pubs and cafés are happy to see a well-behaved dog. I have put together a personal guide for every room — restaurants, hidden gems, and the places I'd actually send a friend. You'll find it waiting for you when you arrive.
And when the day's done, Futurity's garden and your own parking space are waiting at the top of the hill.
Beach restrictions are set by Ceredigion County Council and may change — I endeavour to keep this page up to date, but do check signs on the day.
The Ceredigion Heritage Coast is exceptional walking territory - dramatic clifftops, quiet coves, and long stretches of beach. Most are dog-friendly year-round, or at least in off-peak months.
The best dog walks from Futurity
New Quay Beach
New Quay's main beach sits right by the harbour — sandy, sheltered, and a short wander from Futurity. A good first morning walk to get your bearings and let the dog explore the shoreline.
Dogs welcome (check seasonal restrictions)Wales Coast Path
The Wales Coast Path runs right through New Quay, offering some of Ceredigion's finest clifftop walking in either direction. Stunning views across Cardigan Bay and usually very quiet.
Dog-friendly · Lead requested on cliffsCwmtydu Cove
A short drive south leads to this peaceful, unspoiled cove — popular with dog walkers for its quiet beach and easy access. Best in spring and autumn when the car park isn't overrun.
Short drive · Good car parkingLlangrannog Headland
The headland walk above Llangrannog village rewards with panoramic Cardigan Bay views and a real sense of space. A satisfying half-day trip with the dog — don't forget water for both of you.
Short drive · Dramatic clifftopCardigan Bay Estuary
The estuaries and wetlands around Cardigan Bay offer completely different walking to the clifftops — flat, wide open, and rich with birdlife. Excellent for dogs who prefer a gentler pace.
Flat terrain · Wildlife spottingAberaeron Harbour Walk
Aberaeron's pretty Georgian harbour makes a great dog-friendly day trip destination — a relaxed harbourside stroll followed by a well-earned coffee at one of the town's independent cafes.

Dogs not left unattended
If you’re heading out for a meal or activity, please make arrangements for your dog or let me know and I’ll do my best to help.
Enclosed guest garden
Futurity has a fully enclosed private garden - perfect for an early morning stretch, and evening wind-down, or just letting the dog have a good sniff round.
Leads in communal areas
I ask that dogs are kept on leads in all communal areas of the property - for the comfort of all guests and any other dogs staying at the time.
What to bring for your dog.
I provide the garden and a warm welcome - here’s what I’d recommend packing for a smooth stay.
A note from Jane & Maddy
I genuinely love having dogs to stay. If you have any questions about whether your dog will be comfortable - their size, needs, or anything specific - just drop me a message before you book. I’d rather have a quick conversation and make sure it works perfectly than have anyone feel unsure. I’m happy to help.
Bring the dog. Book your stay.
