Faraway Follies

"Well, what can I say. Just returned from a night at this lodge. Margaret and Jenny were the most perfect hosts. Owl Lodge was stunning, with everything you could want for a perfect stay. Comfy bed, powerful shower, everything was spotlessly clean. The sauna was just what I needed. Not sure about the cold plunge in the stream (I'm clearly a big wuss!) but I put my big girls pants on and did it. I did feel better for it after. I couldn't recommend highly enough."

Oak Mead

"We've just returned from 2 nights in Oak Mead and overall can highly recommend staying at this venue. We chose Oak Mead as it sat between 3 venues we wanted to visit: The Turf Pub in Wrexham (thanks to the wife's obsession with Ryan and Disney+), Chester and Chesire Oakes. The choice was also boosted by the cost of hotels in the area vs the competitive rate of Oak Mead. Oak Mead is a single room with a bathroom that connects to the owners house and as other reviews have said, you do hear noise from the house and for some it could feel like your sleeping in someone's spare room. However, effort is made by the owners to stay distant and for us any noise heard was understandable and minimal, meaning we felt homely and comfortable. The location for us was perfect but anyone looking for immediate entertainment will be left wanting. The nearest restaurant was 45 minutes walk and there was a pub 55 minutes away. A taxi from the first was £13 by the way. It's all very quiet but that's because it's very remote. Some will see both or neither as a positive! Easy to find, warm room, tea and coffee provided, good fridge and a helpful welcome folder. 2 minor issues for the owners: the toilet is currently running constantly which in the silent country side is very loud at 3am and the 2nd patio door doesn't open which prevented us both being able to watch the Olympics from the patio. Both minor admittedly. Thank you Oak Mead for your part in a great 3 days away"
