The Lodge at Ashford Castle

Panoramic lake views, mature woodlands, and Lisloughrey Quay combine to create a truly unique setting. Located next door to the historic Ashford Castle in Cong, County Mayo, the Lodge was originally built in 1865 for the estate manager. In 1939, Ashford Castle was converted into a hotel, with the Lodge continuing to host guests and events. Now part of the award-winning Red Carnation Hotel Collection, it offers mellow country house hospitality artfully combined with contemporary style to discerning travelers worldwide. Guests of the Lodge have full access to the castle's services and amenities, including its equestrian and falconry centers. Activities are numerous and varied, including horse riding, cycling, birdwatching, fishing, boating, walking, and driving tours. The castle's immaculate gardens are enchanting, with panoramic lake views, extensive woodland, and nature trails to delight all ages. At the Lodge, the Quay Brasserie and Bar is perfect for casual dining, while à la carte is served in Wilde’s Restaurant—both local favorites and an ideal way to end an active day. Guests can also enjoy on-site games rooms with a pool table, video games, and movies. Spa treatments can be arranged upon request. Excursions to nearby historical and archaeological sites, or simply to admire the breathtaking scenery of the West of Ireland and Connemara, can be arranged. Designed with families in mind, the Lodge provides luxurious accommodations and welcoming facilities for all ages. Our services include family-friendly features to ensure everyone feels at home and creates unforgettable memories. Pets are also welcome.
