1 / 11Llantysilio Lodge
Llangollen, Denbighshire
The Grade II listed lodge to Llantysilio Hall, outside Llangollen, sleeping five with one dog welcome, two wood burners and enclosed lawned gardens at the rear and side.
Every big house had a lodge at its gate, and this is the one that belonged to Llantysilio Hall, in the Dee valley just upstream of Llangollen. It is Grade II listed, detached, and now a dog friendly lodge for five people and one dog, with enclosed gardens wrapping round the rear and the side.
Both gardens are lawn, enclosed, with a patio at the back, a sitting out area and a children's play area, so the dog has ground on two sides of the house and the children have somewhere to be while the kettle boils. There are two steps up to the door. Inside, the living room has a remote controlled electric wood burner, and the kitchen, which has its own real wood burner and a breakfast area, is where the day tends to start and end. Logs to begin with and doggy extras are both waiting.
Upstairs, a super king bedroom, a twin and a single make it a comfortable fit for a family, with a shower room downstairs and a utility room for muddy towels. The evenings here are quiet: one dog asleep in front of the kitchen stove, the children upstairs, and the old lodge doing what it was built for, keeping watch at the edge of the estate.
The Horseshoe Falls, where Telford's weir feeds the Llangollen Canal, are close by, and the towpath runs from there into town, level and easy with a dog, with the ruins of Valle Crucis Abbey a short detour off it. Further down the canal the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct carries it high over the Dee, and the steam trains of the Llangollen Railway run up the valley from the town station.

Book with cottages.comFrequently Asked Questions
Is Llantysilio Lodge dog friendly?
Yes, Llantysilio Lodge welcomes one dog. It's a detached Grade II listed lodge in the Dee valley just outside Llangollen, with enclosed lawned gardens wrapping around the rear and side of the house — so your dog has good outdoor space to roam safely. There are also doggy extras waiting for you on arrival.
Are dogs allowed at Llantysilio Lodge year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions, and the lodge is set up with dogs firmly in mind whatever the time of year — there's a utility room for muddy towels after wet-weather walks, and a kitchen wood burner to dry out beside in the evenings. For specific availability and any booking conditions, it's worth checking directly with the property.
What should I know before visiting Llantysilio Lodge with my dog?
The lodge accommodates one dog, and there are two steps up to the front door, which is worth bearing in mind if your dog has mobility issues. The enclosed gardens on two sides of the house give your dog secure outdoor space, and the surrounding area is brilliant for walks — the towpath from the Horseshoe Falls into Llangollen is level and easy with a dog, with Valle Crucis Abbey a short detour along the way.
