    The property looked magical when we drove up to it during the night. We actually got lost and the host found us to help us out and was so kind. The place was beautiful inside and so new and clean.

    Great location to explore Ardara, Slieve League, Silverstrand... The Lodge is newly renovated and well equipped. Nice bathrooms with great showers. Everything was very clean. Location is just off N56, 10min from Ardara and very quiet.

Nestled in a scenic valley near Ardara, this beautifully modernized 200-year-old rural cottage blends historic charm with contemporary comfort. The classic stone façade is a contrast to modern amenities, including a fully equipped kitchen and spacious living areas. Three tastefully decorated bedrooms and a private garden make it family-friendly. Enjoy stunning valley views and easy access to Ardara's vibrant culture, local shops, and outdoor adventures. Ideal for a memorable, relaxing getaway.
