The Lodge at Ashford Castle  

Perched on the shores of Lough Corrib in Cong, County Mayo, right next door to historic Ashford Castle. Walk to the castle, Ashford Castle Golf Club and the Quiet Man Museum—this is a family-friendly, pet-friendly country-house escape.

Housed in the 1865 estate manager’s lodge, the property blends mellow country-house charm with contemporary style across 50 individually decorated rooms and suites. Expect lake-view balconies, LCD and DVD entertainment, private baths with bathrobes and slippers, and premium bedding for a cozy, modern-country vibe.

Dive into an indoor pool, unwind in an outdoor tub and sauna, or book spa treatments on request. Games rooms, extensive gardens, terrace and nature trails set the scene, while guests also enjoy access to estate activities like horse riding, falconry, cycling, fishing, boating and guided drives.

Event-ready with conference space, a meeting room, a boardroom and a glass-walled Harbor Room for up to 200 guests, plus a screening room for private dining. Complimentary high-speed Wi‑Fi, a 24-hour front desk, dry cleaning and luggage storage keep things smooth and professional.

Casual lake-view meals at the Quay Brasserie and Bar or à la carte dinners in Wilde’s Restaurant showcase contemporary country cooking using local artisan produce. A complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast and 24-hour room service round out the food options, with a cozy bar/lounge for evening drinks.
