Bring your dog
Does your dog deserve a break too? Monmouthshire is a great place to visit for those on two legs and four.
We're all about the great outdoors so many of our attractions & places to eat actively welcome dogs, and days out can include your pet too. In addition, we have lots of dog-friendly places to stay all over the county, from highly-rated hotels and luxury holiday cottages to glamping, campsites and holiday parks.
Dogs are great companions and we want to continue welcoming them so please keep yours under control while you're here, especially near livestock and nesting birds.
