Faraway Follies Information

Description

The Lodges at Faraway are unique & individual in their character & styling. Owl Lodge (Sleeps 4) Owl Lodge has a double bedroom with a comfy Ikea mattress and a sitting room with a pull out Ikea sofa bed that converts to a king size bed. We provide linen for both beds. The kitchen has an under counter fridge, full size induction hob, kettle, toaster and combi microwave/oven/grill. There is also a Webber Kettle barbecue outside which you can use. The Dog House (Sleeps 2) The Dog House has a double bedroom with a medium firmness Ikea mattress. Egyptian cotton linen is provided along with two towels for each guest. The kitchen has a gas hob, kettle, toaster, microwave and mini oven. Both properties have a Wood burning fire for heating which we provide enough logs to keep it burning for the duration of your stay. We provide enough coffee, tea, sugar and milk to get you going. The shower rooms have constant hot water so you can shower any time of day and we provide a hand towel and a bath towel per person along with a hand made soap for you to take home. Both have hot tubs to soak in after a long day walking or perfect for an evening of star gazing. Copse Camp (Sleeps 6) This off-grid hideaway is warmed by a woodburning fire. Wake up in the loft bed, then cross the rope bridge and cook breakfast in the outdoor kitchen There are also two gypsy caravans both with double beds, plus 300 acres to roam. Complete with a private wood-fired hot tub to watch the beautiful sunsets. One double bed on mezzanine level of tree house accessed via a ladder with low attic type ceiling- Two single z beds in the living space of the treehouse- two double beds in gypsy caravans. Not suitable for children under 5.

I keep bees, chickens and horses here at our 19th century shooting lodge on the edge of a grouse moor in Wales. My partner and I have lived here together for 46 years. We have a food business that sells pâté and relishes across the UK and beyond so we love good food. We have enjoyed travelling around the world. We grow fruit and vegetables and enjoy our garden. I am a trained crystal and sound therapist and my partner and I both have a very creative nature. Many of my partners art works adorn the walls of Owl Lodge, The Dog House and our home. We are always ready to help to make your stay as peaceful and trouble free as we can.
