Heating is by log burners only. You are welcome to bring your own wood to the farmhouse, and you can purchase bags of logs on-site (subject to availability.) Internet can be intermittent due to rural location. 100% of all bookings are donated to the care of the rescue animals at the Idlewild Animal Sanctuary in Conwy. Remember to bring your wellies and warm clothes. The holiday let is to fundraise for much needed funds for the charity for food, medication and veterinary bills of the animals here at Idlewild Animal Sanctuary. There are over 120 rescue animals here that have been rescued from neglect, abandonment or unwanted and now have a safe haven here. The farmhouse is situated on an animal sanctuary that promotes a vegan cruelty-free lifestyle.
Pen Bryn Twrw is a stunning 18th-century Welsh farmhouse, crafted from traditional stone and nestled within 12 acres of breathtaking countryside, home to the Idlewild Animal Sanctuary. Please note that the charming stone cottage relies solely on log burners for heating. We will provide one fire pack, but guests must bring their own logs, which can be sourced locally or purchased from the sanctuary if available.
Unwind and bask in the warm ambiance created by the log burners, with extra blankets provided for those cozy evenings. The house features original wooden beamed ceilings and distinctive slate flooring on the ground level, blending old-world charm with modern comforts. While it is connected to other sanctuary areas, it stands as the sole dwelling on the farmstead. Dogs are welcome, with a maximum of two allowed. They must be leashed at all times to ensure the safety of the free-ranging animals on site. Dogs are not permitted on furniture or upstairs, but dog beds can be arranged upon request. A safety declaration must be signed before your arrival. We will provide a Dog Etiquette Agreement for you to sign prior to your stay.
