The Lodge at Ashford Castle
For those seeking the ultimate intimate Irish country-house experience, The Lodge at Ashford Castle delivers.
Set within the magnificent 350-acre estate of Ashford Castle, overlooking magical Lough Corrib, the lodge was originally built in 1865 for the Estate Manager of the 800-year-old castle. The views are quite simply some of the best in the world, with the placid lake backed by the rolling, emerald hills of Connemara. Guests quickly find themselves smitten with the exclusive, yet cosseting ambiance of the Lodge, whether enjoying fine dining in Wilde’s Restaurant or partaking in the exceptional collection of estate activities. However one might imagine the day ahead, Lodge team members will make it happen, from a favorite warm drink after a day on the water to a romantic candlelit turndown. Learn a thing or two about birds of prey at Ireland’s first and finest falconry school, go horseback riding or spend time fishing on the lake. Guests are encouraged to treat the Lodge as their home while this beautiful corner of Ireland comes to life around them.
