Facilities and atmosphere

Stayed in August 2025

Nothing you can do about this one but the midge were on form when we visited so make sure you bring bug spray and long sleeved clothes.

Unbelievable location in total tranquility. Luxury touches and the sauna and lake were just awesome. It’s was my daughter’s birthday and a lovely little touch of a happy birthday banner was added to our yurt. Apart from responding to requests the staff were lowkey and we were just left to our own devises which we absolutely loved. An evening around the camp fire with cake and a visit from the staff dog Archie was a highlight. Love how eco friendly and conscious it all is too. Total winner.

Such a beautiful setting and everything provided that you would need. The yurts were very comfortable and the communal lodge area was a great space. Plenty to do n the surrounding area also.

Nothing I could fault about this stunning place.

The yurt was beautiful & cosy. The scenery magical. Loved the eco friendly element to the accommodation. The best kept secret of Donegal.

Nothing - loved everything. Would have been nice to know if there were any hikes/walks to go on directly from the property but very minor point.

Amazing place. We had a digital detox with our two teenage sons and we all really benefitted from it. Beautiful place in a beautiful location.

Owners not very friendly.

Amazing view, quiet, flowers everywhere. Cozy.

A lot of written information beforehand made it sound more complicated than it actually was, but we had a good and well organized stay.

Lovely surroundings, great yurts and facilities. A very positive experience.

Nothing! Would definitely return.

Beautiful location and lovely decor in central lodge and yurt. Everything clean and in good order. Sauna and lake dips amazing. We used their pizza oven too which was great.

The location was magnificent. The views were serene. Food for the soul. Within a short space of time we felt very relaxed. The properties - central and the yurt were spotless which is of great importance to us. The shower and kitchen facilities were wonderful.

Lovely stay at Lough Mardal! The Yurt was something different to stay in but so lovely, comfy and fabulous! Really enjoyed it and with no electricity (even though initially was unsure) it was the perfect way to completely switch off. The shared facilities- lounge and showers etc were fantastic and extremely clean. Along with walks along the property, they were lovely and the views stunning!

Going outside the hut in the rain for the toilet.

Clean and private.

The place was so serene. The sauna by the water was lovely. The communal area was beautiful. The bed in the yurt was very comfortable. The top of the yurt is some sort of clear perspex. As I lay in bed, I was able to see Orion's belt as I fell asleep.

Nothing that we didn't like - only possible suggestion to make it even more perfect would be the addition of a wood fired hot tub down by the lake !

Amazing location, felt completely secluded but still only 15 mins away from Donegal Town. Shared facilities were outstanding, pizza oven, BBQ, fire pit, extremely well stocked kitchen area, great storage facilities for food items, spacious, beautiful living room with log burning stove, comfy chairs, amazing views of the lake and even a telescope!. Shared toilets and showers were great and very clean, towels provided. Stayed in a yurt which felt spacious even with super king bed and 2 single beds, bed was one of the most comfortable beds we had ever slept in! Lake was lovely to swim in and you had the option to book the sauna as well. It was great to have a digital detox whilst we were there to really appreciate the surroundings. Would have no hesitation to recommend this accommodation to anyone and we would definitely go back.

We absolutely loved our stay at Lough Mardal Lodge. The scenery and location was beautiful and so peaceful, the Yurts so spacious and comfortable, the facilities were excellent. We even enjoyed a swim in the lake which was amazing. Check-in and check-out was really easy, staff were so friendly and welcoming. We’d really recommend and would definitely stay again.

Excellent facilities, very impressed by the cleanliness particularly given that some spaces are shared. The shepherds hut was great and very comfortable. A very relaxing stay.

Stayed in May 2025

Location was fantastic,lovely and quiet. We stayed in the shepherd's hut. The place was really well thought out with attention to detail. Would definitely stay there again. Saw amazing sunset over the lake in the evening and at night the moon shimmered on the water making it feel magical.
