In an acre of its own private woodland, Ty Twt is the perfect spot to explore North Wales with a hound in tow (if they're not dragging you along the many walks!)

The place
The most perfect spot for exploring North Wales. Set into the quiet countryside west of Denbigh, you’ll find this idyllic little hideaway in an acre of its own private woodland. There’s something for every hour of the day. Morning will see you waking up with a coffee and admiring the views down to the river below from the rocking chair, before walking round the Aled valley. Afternoon will likely be prepping pizzas for the pizza oven outside, and if evening doesn’t see you cuddling up to your four-legged friend by the wood burner, we’d be surprised. With plenty of dog-friendly eateries nearby and so much to explore – your dog would ask you to book if they could.

You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to food in this part of the world. If you’re thinking classic pubs, then you could visit the Dinorben Arms, 20 minutes away, for a selection of pub classics, real ales and great views from the terrace. Or the Erskine Arms, 40 minutes away in Conwy, where this Georgian inn has won restaurant of the year serving fresh local food. Dogs are very welcome in the outside courtyard, or the bar!
When it comes to fine dining, you’ve an excellent option – Bryn Williams at Porth Eirias. A half-hour drive worth every minute, this contemporary bistro uses local produce to create phenomenal dishes, and of course, with its sea views, seafood is a large part of the menu. The outside terrace is dog friendly, so worth a visit on a sunnier day!
It’d hardly be a holiday without the trusty National Trust, so head on over to Bodnant Garden – a half hour’s drive away, to find 80 acres of glades, water gardens, Edwardian Italianate terraces, arboretums and more. There’s a café, craft centre, garden centre and shop to visit. Dogs are welcome every day in autumn and winter (October to the end of March) and all day every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday during the spring and summer, from 1 April to the end of September. It’s worth checking the seasonal restrictions before you go
Just 20 minutes away you’ll find Denbigh Castle and town walls. Built in the 13th century, it’s remarkably intact, and holds a great deal of historical interest, well worth a visit for the history buffs. Whilst you’re there, peruse Denbigh itself, and enjoy seeing the listed buildings, the busy market atmosphere and the many independent shops and restaurants
Betws-y-Coed is just a 35-minute drive, and if you haven’t been, it’s a must. Picturesque, and not unlike an Alpine town, it’s surrounded by the Gwydyr forest, which is incredibly magical. When you’re not touring the woods with the hound, or dining at dog-friendly eateries, you might be seeking out the waterfalls, following riverside walks (or little doggy paddles). If it sounds amazing, it’s because it is
If you’re looking for a day trip, take the hour’s drive to Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. A Grade 1 listed building, and a World Heritage Site – this soaring aqueduct carries the Llangollen canal across the Dee River. It’s the longest aqueduct in Britain and the highest canal aqueduct in the world, and you can walk its length or if you fancy it, take a canal boat trip across (though you need to check which services accept dogs) Most importantly, there are some lovely local pubs to visit

Booking guide
Every booking at Paws & Stay is about the dog. You will see how many dogs are allowed at a place on their page and in search results and then you can add them during the booking process. While your dogs are more than welcome, of course, our owners hope you’ll still make sure your dogs are well behaved. There may occasionally be rooms (and furniture) that are off limits to dogs, but not to an extent that will impact your stay. If they can’t be in the room with you, they’ll have a lovely, cosy spot of their own. You can see any restrictions in the 'For the Dog' section of a place.
How to book
All you need to do is select an available check-in date, underlined in gold on the calendar, and see what options appear for your stay. If the stay is within ten weeks of the date on which you’re booking, you’ll need to pay the full cost of the stay. If it’s further than ten weeks away, you’ll have the option of paying a 25% deposit.
When you book, you’ll be able to use the email address you supply to log in and make any further payments whenever you like. We will notify you when your balance is due and be in touch if it goes unpaid past that date.
If you have any questions about a place, you can email us on bookings@pawsandstay.co.uk. Call us during office hours (Monday to Friday, except Bank Holidays, 0900 to 1800) if you have any problems with booking and we can usually sort things out over the phone.
Paying your balance
If you paid a deposit when you booked, we’ll let you know when your balance is due, but you can log in to your account, which is automatically created when you book, to pay it at any time. You can also log in and pay off a little of your balance at a time.
Deposits and balance payments
If your booking is made more than ten weeks in advance of your arrival date, you’ll have the option to pay a 25% deposit. The full balance will then be taken from the same card you pay with. You’ll be able to pay the balance on a different card at any time by giving us a call. If your balance payment fails, don’t worry. Your booking will not be cancelled but we will need to get in touch with you within a week to secure the balance payment.
Terms & conditions
We’ll always try and find a solution that works for you and our owners if there’s any issue with your booking, but you can read our full [Ts&Cs](https://www.pawsandstay.co.uk/terms-and-conditions/) here.
