Tan-Yr-Ogo Gatehouse Lodge | Cabin in Abergele
3 Bedroom Cabin in Rhyd-y-foel, Abergele
Tan-yr-Ogo Lodge is a monumental gate lodge built as the ceremonial entrance to Gwrych Castle, forming courtyards and an elaborate complex of structures.
The rooms are in a recently refurbished elevated section of the complex providing a mini castle experience. The battlements contain four recessed sandstone inscription tablets. These commemorate various historical events which have taken place on this important strategic site over the past thousand years:
1) the battle between Harold II and Griffith ap Llewelyn
2) the routing of Hugh Lupus on his way to invade Anglesey
3) the repulsion of Henry II by Owain Gwynedd
4) the betrayal of Richard II by Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland, as imortalised in Shakespeare's history play.
Passing under a huge stone Tudor-arched entrance gateway, into an inner courtyard, the drive turns ninety degrees and rises past more towers and walls to reveal the lodge itself. There are least eleven towers set within the curtain walls and the accommodation is set within two of the largest towers which are linked by a long gallery.
ACCOMMODATION:
The heavy oak door leads into a single storey barbican Entrance Hall which contains the Kitchen and Dining Room, leading to the Drawing Room with two sofa beds and a feature fireplace with a wood burning stove. A ground floor twin room is located in the West Tower and an adjacent oak staircase that is built over the exposed bedrock takes you to the first floor. There is also a recently refurbished downstairs cloakroom with sink and toilet.
The light and airy landing leads to the second bedroom which has bunk beds, along with the Art Deco bathroom with the benefit of an architect designed freestanding bath and walk-in shower. The long gallery leads to the Master Bedroom in the first floor of the East Tower, and provides breathtaking sea and countryside views. The master bedroom has an antique double four poster mahogany bed and the same spectacular views.
