The combi oven took a little thought to operate but was fine once we worked it out. The sofa bed is as you would expect a sofa bed to be, but the main bed is lovely and cosy.

The location is breathtaking, a little slice of remote paradise, yet with lots of facilities and outings accessible nearby by car. The lodge has a really rustic charm, we loved stopping to chat with the ponies. The welcome basket was a nice touch. It is warm and cosy, even with Storm Floris raging outside. Spanish Point is a stones throw away and you’re a few minutes drive from the town. The outdoor bath and shower add to the charm.

Would have love a straight forward little microwave for my porridge. I’m afraid I didn’t have the patience to work out the oven combo microwave 😆. And 2 tiny things a small clothes horse for swimwear to dry, and Nail towel ladder to the wall nearly pulled it on top of myself 🤣 . None of these things spoiled our stay though .

Beautiful property, so well done , bed was very comfortable. Loved the hot tub and so quick and easy to fill , with the added bonus of the seaweed. Pity more accommodation is not done to this standard.

Honestly, I couldn't fault it.

From the second you travel up the sweeping drive, you are blown away by this handsome cottage with its incredible view. You are still very impressed with the deceptive space, blend of stunning old and new interiors, and amazing high standards. No expense was spared during its renovations. We even had chickens! Bay and beaches just across the field. Also, the professional and friendly hosts left a lovely message for us before and during our stay.

Gorgeous place to stay, Aoife was lovely to deal with and had the place spotless for us. Little pricey but with amazing views and facilities it was worth it. There were fresh eggs for us in the chicken coop and a lovely walk around to visit the shetland ponies, alpacas and gardens.

Nothing, we had a really great stay

The place is gorgeous, charming, and private. Host was responsive though we didn't need them for a thing! The outdoor tub was amazing after a long day of hiking around the area and the pizza oven was fun for a quiet night in! Couldn't have enjoyed our stay more!

Nothing it was perfect!

Our stay at Gate Lodge was truly amazing! The lodge exudes a delightful warmth and cleanliness, equipped with all the necessities. Positioned right along the coast, it offers fabulous views, and the beach is conveniently less than 5 minutes away. The coastal views and cosy ambiance created a truly peaceful escape. The interior boasts stunning design, complemented by a gorgeous outdoor area—ideal for enjoying the picturesque scenes and watching the sunset. Aoife was so lovely and helpful with check in instructions and promptly addressed any inquiries we had. Undoubtedly one of my favourite places I’ve stayed in Ireland to date!

Only one small thing to mention is limited space for storage of clothing. But the entire place is so beautiful. That you should forgive this!

The Gate Lodge was immaculate, inside & out! Amazing attention to detail & beautiful decor throughout. I wish i lived there!!! There was a lovely welcome basket and make sure you find the seaweed for the hot tub!

There was nothing I didn't like about our stay...

The cottage was so tastefully appointed, cosy, and comfortable with underfloor heating. The outdoor tub was such a fabulous treat with amazing views and sounds of the sea....so many lovely touches, an outdoor pizza oven, great board games, a welcome hamper, nespresso machine, a seaweed pack for the tub....

nothing, it was PERFECT

Beautiful design, incredible views from all sides, every detail of the property was perfectly executed. The outdoor tub was such a delight! As was the bucket shower and outdoor shower. The owners left delicious bread, jams and butter, and added holiday decor for our Christmas stay!
