The Lodge at Ashford Castle offers a more relaxed country-house expression of the Ashford estate, set close to Cong and overlooking Lough Corrib. Originally built in the nineteenth century, the hotel pairs historic character with a lighter, contemporary style, with rooms and suites designed around comfort, space and views of the surrounding landscape. Guests have access to the wider estate’s gardens, woodland walks and country pursuits, while the lodge itself has a warm, intimate atmosphere centred on its lake-facing dining rooms and considered Irish hospitality. Its setting gives it a distinct identity beside one of Ireland’s most celebrated castle estates.
