ZOOM OUT TO EXPLORE

Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

25 Sept 2026

Love Stories Bookshop is an independent romance bookshop tucked inside Castle Arcade in Cardiff city centre and dogs are welcome inside while you browse. Shelves are stocked with romance novels spanning every subgenre, from contemporary to historical and the warm welcome extends to four-legged visitors too.

Staff greet dog owners with genuine enthusiasm and visiting dogs have been offered biscuits while their humans explore the collection. It's the sort of thoughtful touch that turns a quick browse into a proper outing. That clear dog access keeps the browse part of the same outing rather than ending in another doorway handover.

You'll find the shop in one of Cardiff's prettiest Victorian arcades, a short walk from the main shopping streets. Whether you're hunting for your next comfort read or simply soaking up the arcade's atmosphere, your dog can stay by your side throughout.
