The Lodge is now open
We've had some very cool and hardy glampers come stay in our yurt since February. So hardy our very first guests arrived in the snow.

More Days Like These
Big news, the sun came out today. So it was the first decent walk for days that didn't feel like an endurance test. Although usually always drawn to the lakeshore today we went up the hill.

More of these days please. #Glamping #Travel #EcoLodge #BeautifulDestinations #

Yurt's ordered and on their way. 🤗🤸 Now to decide where to position them...and where to place the windows and doors. After years of dreaming, musing and planning we're getting down to nitty gritty (giddy) details now! #Yurt #lake #idyllic #glamping #travel #beautifuldestination

Sunset splash-about
Sunset splashabout. Drenched by time we got in and minus a pair of socks!? Nature's playground involves a lot more clothes washing than the conventional ones. But a lot more fun. #Walks #WonderfulPlaces #Familyfriendly #Travel #WildAtlanticWay #Ireland
