About this lodge

The Dog House is the converted kennel building of a 19th century shooting 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.

With the windows open or sitting in the hot tub you can hear the relaxing noises of the stream and birds in the trees that surround the property.

It has a double bed with Egyptian Cotton sheets with views of the valley and the stream.There is a wood burning stove to keep you warm and cosy. The kitchen has a gas hob, microwave, mini oven, toaster and kettle. The veranda with comfy wicker chairs overlooking the stream is perfect for watching the sun set.

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.

Besides the amazing nature surrounding the cabins, we also truly enjoyed the company of Margaret and Jenny. These two lovely people taught us a lot while we stayed there and invited us to experience their world. We will definitely come back!
