At Lough Mardal Lodge there are five Skydome Yurts and one Shepherd's Hut.
SKYDOME YURTS
There is nothing quite like staying in a Yurt. A simple yet magical dwelling with wooden lattice walls and radial rafters, it evokes a sense of the exotic. Originally the homes of the nomads of Central Asia the Yurts at Lough Mardal Lodge have been adapted for today and have been chosen for their high-tech insulation, warmth and durability which is required for the occasionally temperamental weather on the West Coast of Ireland!​ All Yurts are well-spaced ensuring seclusion and privacy. Each is luxuriously furnished with a comfortable seating area and they are individually styled with sheepskins, woollen blankets, heavy 15 Tog duvets, fluffed pillows and crisp linen. All have beautiful views of lake, mountain and forestry.
SHEPHERD'S HUT
New this Summer - our Shepherd's Hut comfortably sleeps 2 adults. Interiors are simply but luxuriously furnished with a king size bed, crisp white bed linen, fluffed pillows and Donegal woollen blanket. A warm stove keeps you cosy at night. Sit out on the small veranda with a coffee and soak up the lake view and the hum of wildlife. Our Shepherd's Hut is currently being built - photos will be uploaded just as soon as it is guest-ready! In the meantime we have created a gallery if you'd like to follow its progress.

Cancellation Policy: Cancellation Policy: Payment is refundable up to 14 days prior to arrival date, after which it is non-refundable. When a refund is issued a cancellation charge of €10 or 3% (whichever is the greater) is charged to cover card processing fees and admin. In case of a Force Majeure, where we are obliged to close unexpectedly (eg Covid19) or if you are no longer able to travel due to Covid19 government-imposed travel restrictions then our normal cancellation policy is suspended and all bookings that are effected, inside or outside the 14 days, will be offered a postponement or gift voucher for the value of the booking to be redeemed anytime in the future.
Accessibility:
One yurt is wheelchair accessible and can be hooked up to electricity if required for special needs. Please contact us prior to booking to check availability.
​
Pets:
There are two pet-friendly yurts. There is a pet surcharge of €20 per stay. To book a pet-friendly yurt please select the Pet Add-On in the booking process - if this is not visible it means there are no pet-friendly yurts available. We can only accommodate one dog per yurt. Pets are not permitted up on furniture and must not be left unsupervised in the yurts. Pets are not permitted in the Shepherd's Hut.
​
The Yurts are completely off-grid - which is all part of the adventure! Each guest is assigned a secure locker in the Lodge where mobile devices can be recharged (and where valuables can be stored).
​
Lough Mardal Lodge offers the opportunity to truly escape from the white noise of modern living and constant-connectivity - we strongly recommend you lock up your gadgets and relax, unwind and disconnect during your stay! With that in mind, the Reciprocal Room in the Lodge is a gadget-free zone. However there is a comfortable space in the Lobby where guests can use their devices.
