1 / 24Ty Newydd Isa
Betws Gwerfil Goch, Denbighshire
A two bedroom cottage for four above Betws Gwerfil Goch with an enclosed garden, a separate fenced paddock for dogs, a wood burner and a hot tub, one dog welcome.
Behind the cottage there is a second enclosure, fenced and empty, and for the week it belongs to whoever is staying. Ty Newydd Isa sleeps four at Betws Gwerfil Goch, dog friendly, two bedrooms and a bathroom, set high enough that the view runs for miles. A single dog on the booking therefore gets a paddock and a garden, which is one enclosure more than most cottages manage.
The paddock is separate from the lawn, so a dog can be turned out into it while a door stands open somewhere else, and it is where a recall gets practised without a lead in the equation. The garden itself is enclosed and terraced, with room to eat outside and a barbecue for it. Covered storage at the side takes bikes, canoes and paddleboards.
Indoors is small and warm. The lounge holds the wood burner, the kitchen sits next to it, and the dining table is placed so the garden stays in view while you eat. Upstairs the double looks out over the hill. The second room takes a single with a trundle beneath, and its French doors open straight onto the patio and the wood fired tub. A dog works out within a day that this is the shortest route outside.
A handful of houses round a church makes up Betws Gwerfil Goch, and the church keeps a carved screen worth going in to see. Maerdy is 1.5 miles down the hill. The Alwen comes off the moors here and runs east through small fields and steep lanes, with tracks onto the moor edge close enough to walk to, and almost nothing uses them, which settles where a dog can be trusted loose.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Ty Newydd Isa dog friendly?
Yes, Ty Newydd Isa welcomes one dog. The cottage comes with both an enclosed garden and a separate fenced paddock behind the property, which is yours for the duration of your stay — giving your dog considerably more secure outdoor space than most holiday cottages offer.
Are dogs allowed at Ty Newydd Isa year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the owner directly to confirm availability around your travel dates. What's clear is that the setup — wood burner indoors, paddock outside, and quiet moorland tracks on the doorstep — works just as well in cooler months as it does in summer.
What should I know before visiting Ty Newydd Isa with my dog?
Only one dog is permitted at the cottage, so it's not the right fit for multi-dog households. The garden is enclosed and terraced, and the separate paddock is a good space for practising recall off-lead without needing to leave the property. Beyond the cottage, the Alwen valley and nearby moorland tracks are described as quiet and little-used — worth knowing if you have a dog you're working on off-lead reliability with.
