Tan-yr-Ogo Lodge is a castle conceived as one of a series of lodges to serve Gwrych Castle and was originally the principal and ceremonial entrance to the estate.
Tan-yr-Ogo or more correctly, Tan-yr-Ogof, translates to 'beneath the cave', and is nestled below Lady Emily's Tower and the great cave of Cefn Yr Ogof, all part of the Gwrych Castle Estate.

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 room is 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 one of the largest towers.
The property is set within close proximity to pubs, restaurants and the A55, providing great transport links and easy access to Llandudno, Anglesey and Snowdonia National Park.
