Located in secluded grounds at Hillside, and adjacent to my former Great
Horned owl's aviary, The Owlery is a new addition to my self-catering
accommodation at Hillside. Built from Siberian larch with a lovely
vaulted, natural pine, ceiling internally, this 7.2m x 4m pod is an
architecturally interesting design as well as an extremely cosy and
comfortable cabin in which to relax and unwind.
The Owlery is approached from the car park at the top of my driveway,
and you are led up a shallow ramp which opens out on to a raised deck,
providing a veranda area where you can sit out and enjoy the garden
views.
Inside, it is an extremely well appointed unit
and has been fitted out to a high standard throughout

Owner's Tip
While I keep the bird feeders topped up regularly, you are very welcome
to bring your own selection of treats for the birds.
As with The Chalet property, if you want to have a good chance of seeing
pine martens and badgers close up, and don't mind a late night vigil,
bring a selection of peanut butter, honey, or jam with you or for the
healthier option, peanuts and dried fruit (they adore sultanas, raisins
and banana chips!). The two small slate-topped feeding tables can be
used to put out the more sticky foods a variety of wildlife should be
kept quite busy visiting to sample the menu.
