50A Lloyd Street West, Llandudno

50A Lloyd Street West is a small bungalow on Llandudno's quieter West Shore side, and its best feature for dog owners is the enclosed porch and conservatory at the front. Guests travelling with dogs describe leaving the front door open behind a makeshift barrier so the dog could lie in the porch and watch the street go by, which is a rare thing to be able to do in a rented holiday place. Everything is on one level, the living room is a decent size, and the laminate floor with a rug over it is a practical surface for a dog that has been out on the sand.

The location does a lot of the work. West Shore beach is a short walk away and is the calmer of Llandudno's two beaches, which dog owners tend to prefer; the pier, the main town and the shops are reachable on foot too, and a two-minute bus ride crosses to the other side of town if you would rather not walk it. Off-road private parking for one car comes with the property - tight, by all accounts, but usable, and it removes a problem that travelling with a dog usually makes worse.

The one thing to check before booking is the outside space. The wall around the enclosed area is low, and guests with a bigger or bolder dog have found it would not hold an animal left on its own - fine for supervised time outdoors, less so as a secure run. Owners of dogs that jump or are prone to wandering should plan on keeping them on a lead outside.

Repeat stays are a good sign here, and dog owners have come back for the combination of a quiet street, a level layout and a beach they can reach without driving. The host gets consistent praise for being easy to deal with, both before arrival and at departure. With a 4.6/5 paw rating, this suits couples and solo travellers with one small or steady dog who want a walkable base in Llandudno rather than a property with a secure garden.
