Where Comfort Meets Nature — Inclusive Accommodation
Welcome to our lakeside lodges, lovingly built on generations-old family land — a place where everyone is truly welcome, and where accessibility isn’t an afterthought, but a foundation. Our self-catering lodges are designed with inclusivity in mind, and two of our three units offer accessible features to enhance your stay.
Surrounded by natural beauty, our lodges sit on the edge of Lough Sallagh, a quiet and unspoiled lake nestled in rolling Irish countryside. Step outside and you’ll find tranquil lake views right from your
private deck, birdsong mornings and breath taking sunsets. Flat, accessible walking (and rolling) trails throughout the site and nearby. Fishing spots and picnic areas abound.
This land has been worked by our family for generations and this new addition to the land reflects the future generation of the farmlands. Now, we have the pleasure of sharing it with everyone.
We understand that true relaxation only happens when spaces are built to support comfort, dignity, and independence. That’s why we’ve created something different: a peaceful retreat on the shores
of a quiet Irish lake — where accessibility and natural beauty go hand in hand.
Each of our custom-built lodges have been designed from the ground up with accessibility & inclusivity in mind. To ensure your stay with us is indeed comfortable, accessibility equipment is available and should be booked in advanced. Click on the buttons below to view equipment and the additional services we can offer.
