About this cottage rental
Owl Lodge, a converted garage & game larder at the entrance to a 19th century shooting lodge on the edge of a grouse moor in North Wales, was converted into a healing room & artists studio 15 years ago and is now a holiday lodge.
Close to Llandegla Mountain Bike Centre and the famous Horse Shoe Pass it is the perfect retreat from everyday routine to repair one's soul. Listen to the owls at night & watch the many different little birds in the trees, as you take in the views across the valley from the hot tub.
The Double bedroom has a comfy mattress and Egyptian cotton bed linen. The whole property is on one level. There is a sofa bed in the sitting room that pulls out into a king size bed. The Egyptian cotton bedding for the sofa bed is in a cubby under the right hand side of the sofa.
A piece of Paradise....
Your hosts, Margaret and Jenny have lived in their Victorian hunting lodge, Faraway for over 40 years and in 2016 they made the decision to share their piece of paradise with you by opening Owl Lodge to paying guests. This was received with such enthusiasm that they then decided to convert an old kennel building and hence The Doghouse was opened in 2018 along with the Treehouse and gypsy caravans at Copse Camp and with that Faraway Follies was born.
Sustainable Travel
Reducing the environmental impact of Faraway Follies is important to us. So where ever we can we reduce the amount of plastics we use and recycle as much as we can. We gained our Green Key accreditation in only our 3rd year in business and still look to make improvements to whatever we do.
Health and Wellbeing
We believe that looking after your mind and body are of primary importance. Faraway Follies is fast becoming a centre of holistic wellness with monthly day retreats and bi monthly soundbaths. However the Secret Sauna and Penguin Pool take centre stage in our approach to the health of the mind and body. You don't have to stay at Faraway Follies to enjoy these facilities but of course, if you are staying here they are here for your enjoyment.
The Lodges
There are three places to stay. Owl Lodge can sleep 4 people with a double bedroom and a king sized sofa bed in the living area. The Doghouse is a more romantic space for two people beside a babbling brook. And Copse Camp is the home of our treehouse with two gypsy caravans that can sleep 6 people. Each of the spaces have their own wood fired hottub.
This Part of Wales
We are perfectly situated for all the activities that North Wales has to offer. Whether that is walking in the mountains, canoeing, white water rafting, mountain biking, fishing, exploring historic sites or simply sitting and taking in the stunning views and sun sets. Its all here for you at Faraway Follies.

The quirky property is well equipped & perfectly furnished & styled for a relaxing break. The private hot tub overlooking fields & hills was a very welcome addition for the end of day relaxation, plenty of wood too for whole stay, a rare luxury. wildlife and countless birds were a delight. Daisy the resident golden retriever was gorgeous, our Goldie, Bertie, had the best holiday ever, playing with her. The owners were lovely and very friendly too!

Such a lovely escape in the country, with very private hot tub overlooking country side, an absolute myriad of different bird song, and a gorgeous golden retriever Daisy who just loved playing with our golden retriever Bertie. Everything you could possibly need for a quiet break from the stresses of every day life. The property was quirky but well equipped and beautifully styled and bed very comfortable. Definitely a place we would return to.
