Lovely relaxing stay
Lovely relaxing night away. We stayed in The Doghouse. Woodfired hot tub was fab. Quiet and chilled place to be. Enjoyed a gorgeous sunset sitting on the decking. Would recommend to anyone looking to switch off completely and relax.

Amazing weekend
Found this place by chance as we were looking for somewhere near Wrexham and we were so glad we did. Loved the tranquil setting. Jenny was great and provided help when needed. We stayed in the Doghouse and loved all the little touches. The hot tub was great and we used it both days. We will absolutely be back but will stay for longer next time. Thank you

Lovely peaceful escape
Great place, really cosy and rural. The indoor fire heats up the house very well, but it is a little tricky to get the hot tub hot!y advise would be that you will certainly need a lot of wood. Overall very happy with the stay and we will be back!

Second Visit
This was our second visit to The Doghouse at Faraway Follies. Our hosts Jen and Margaret had made some provisions for the pandemic that were sensible and made us feel at ease. We had a fantastic time relaxing in a beautiful setting and soaking for hours in the hot tub. We already can't wait to return.
