Bring The Family Dog to Your Owned Holiday Home in Mid Wales
At The Pines Holiday Park, dogs are very much part of the family. Our peaceful, owners-only park in Doldowlod is surrounded by riverside paths, woodland trails and open countryside, making it a wonderful base for you and your four-legged friends to explore Mid Wales together.
A Riverside Retreat Your Dog Will Love
Set close to the River Wye, The Pines offers instant access to gentle walks straight from your holiday home. Many owners start or end the day with a relaxed stroll along the riverbank, letting their dogs sniff, explore and enjoy the sights and sounds of the water. The setting is quiet and uncrowded, so you can walk at your own pace without the bustle you might find at larger, mixed-use parks.
Because we are a gated, owners-only community with no subletting or holiday rentals, the feel around the park is calm and familiar. You will quickly get to know the same friendly faces and wagging tails, which makes walking the dog feel safe, sociable and stress-free.
Scenic Trails in Every Direction
The area around The Pines is known for its amazing scenery, and that extends to the dog walks that are on your doorstep. From level, easy-going routes to more adventurous rambles, there is always somewhere new to discover with your dog across all four seasons.
Head towards Rhayader and the Elan Valley, just a few miles away, and you will find spectacular reservoirs, open hillsides and woodland tracks that are perfect for longer outings. Closer to the park, quiet country lanes and bridleways weave through fields and hedgerows, ideal for shorter morning and evening walks. With an 11-month season, you can enjoy frosty winter wanders, fresh spring mornings, long summer evenings and colourful autumn rambles, all from the same “home from home”.
Pet-Friendly Grounds and Space to Roam
The Pines has been designed with dog owners in mind. The park layout is generally level, making it easier for both older dogs and less mobile owners to get around. There are dedicated areas for dog walking within the grounds, as well as plenty of green space to stretch little legs before you head further afield.
Because the park is small, secure and gated, many owners feel comfortable building daily routines with their pets, whether that is a quick loop around the park before breakfast or a longer wander after dinner. Private parking beside your holiday home makes it simple to load up the car and head out to explore more of Mid Wales with your dog whenever the mood takes you.
A Peaceful, Dog-Loving Community
Life at The Pines is unhurried and relaxed, which is exactly what most dogs enjoy. Without the constant comings and goings of short-stay holidaymakers, the atmosphere stays calm and predictable. This is especially reassuring if you have nervous or older dogs who prefer a quieter environment.
Many of our owners are nature lovers, and it is not unusual to combine a dog walk with a spot of birdwatching or simply pausing to take in the views. Red Kites wheeling overhead, the sound of the river nearby and the backdrop of Mid Wales’ hills all add to the sense that walking the dog here is more than a chore – it is one of the genuine pleasures of owning a holiday home at The Pines.
Make The Pines Your Dog’s Favourite Escape
If you are looking for an owners-only holiday park where your dog is genuinely welcome and where beautiful walks begin right outside your door, The Pines Holiday Park is a special place to consider. With pet-friendly grounds, outstanding local walks and a safe, gated community, it is somewhere you and your dog can return to again and again, through every season.
