This quiet part of north Wales is perfect for a few days of restorative, relaxing outdoor time and Ty Twt has been beautifully crafted to welcome you into it. There’s a rocking chair on the veranda where you can sip coffee in the morning and stargaze at night, a bench in your private woodland which overlooks a steep sided valley to the river below, an outdoor cooking area with BBQ & wood-fired pizza oven (pizza dough mix in your welcome hamper) for al fresco meals and then, when the night draws in, the wood-burner to warm the cabin and add a rippling, homely glow. If you sit quietly, you might spot badgers and deer, hear owls in the woods and see swallows swooping round the cabin, which they used to nest in until the windows were installed. There’s an extensive board game collection, a few musical instruments and all the comforts of home, (small kitchen and shower room), as well as the cosy nook of the mezzanine bed, just a ladder climb away.
The location and the pure charm of the cabin itself lend themselves to any kind of stay, from a wintry escape full of long naps and wood smoke, to a summer adventure into wild Snowdonia or a few days dangling your toes in the river. It’s not by chance that the cabin is so well suited to being really lived in, perfect for both a short weekend getaway or a longer stay. Your hosts, and the cabin’s creators, Catherine and Jenny have been adding to it with their art and carpentry for over a decade, and some of Jenny’s children have lived it in for long spells, along with the swallows. Their house is close by but completely out of sight, leaving you wonderfully secluded, but if you need them (or want to meet Daisy the Stabyhoun) feel free to drop in. They’ve left you a great guide to the area, which is full of picturesque waterfalls, grand country gardens and lovely old towns. You can even have the unique experience of canoeing across an aqueduct, at Pontcysyllte. There are walks right from the door as well as the famous hikes and expansive wilderness of Snowdonia to explore, but you might just want to wander the woods, keep an eye out for the wildlife and disconnect for a while.
