Built in the 1820s by the owners of nearby, prestigious Ashford Castle, the lodge has rich, contemporary colours, plush furnishings, handmade toiletries and dreamy lake views. The suites are magnificent: some boast private terraces and mini-balconies, while others have rain showers and range over two floors.
The lodge's renowned eatery, Wilde's at the Lodge, delivers fine dining at its best.
