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 Lodges at Faraway are unique & individual in their character & styling. Offering comfortable and yet sophisticated accommodation, they both come with hot tubs for a truly relaxing stay. Owl Lodge (Sleeps 4) Owl Lodge has a double bedroom with a comfy John Lewis 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 larder 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 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. Out & About Located on the edge of a Grouse Moor, you can step out of the door and head into the hills, walking for miles across the open moorland observing the abundant wild life. If you are a mountain biker we are right beside the One Planet Adventure Mountain Bike Centre in the Llandegla Forest. There are many walking trails through the forest as well as the bike tracks and you will be adequately rewarded for your efforts at the bike centre cafe. For the fishermen amongst you there are two local fishing lakes as well as the local rivers such as the Dee in Llangollen and the Clwyd in Ruthin with their runs of salmon and sea trout respectively.
