Escape to Lough Eske Castle and retreat to your own private hideaway at the Lake Lodge. Situated at the Castle gates, by the shores of Lough Eske, this secluded two storey lodge which was built c.1861 is the ultimate sanctuary for those who are looking to get away from it all, relax and unwind during their visit to Donegal.

The Lake Lodge retains all its character with original windows and Fleur de Lis tiles, but guests should be prepared for a contemporary addition, that will take their breath away. A glazed extension has been added to the main reception room, to stunning effect. 

Extending out towards the lough, as if floating above, is the dining area. Floor to ceiling glazing provides an almost immersive experience, as the majestic views of Lough Eske and the surrounding Blue Stack Mountains unfold all around. 

The Lake Lodge has a single open plan reception room on the ground floor, with living, kitchen and dining areas. Design features includes modern tiled flooring, wood burning fire, 70s ERCOL Scandinavian style furniture, décor in calming earthy colours and warm, tactile fabrics such as tweed. Relax in front of the widescreen TV in the living area or dine at the 4-seater dining table whilst over-looking the stunning views. 

The original alder wood staircase, leads to the second level of the Lake Lodge and contains two bedrooms, (one en suite) with a double bed in each room and a separate main bathroom. Features include dual aspect windows in both bedrooms allowing natural daylight to fill these cosy bedrooms, modern fittings such as rail fixtures for your belongings and bedside tables. Bedrooms are decorated in calming neutral tones to help ensure a peaceful night's sleep. 

The main bathroom contains a stunning roll-top copper bath and vanity unit sink as well as a luxurious shower and toilet, beautifully finished with soft grey tiling throughout.  

The Lake Lodge is self-catering accommodation and comes with a fully equipped oak kitchen,  with dark granite finishes, that allows you to prepare your own culinary delights if you wish. Alternatively, guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea or dinner at Lough Eske Castle's Cedars Restaurant, Gallery Bar or Father Browne Bar, just a twelve minute walk (1km) away.

Guests at the Lake Lodge can also enjoy treatments at CARA Organic Beauty Spa, complimentary use of the swimming pool, gym and Lough Eske Castle bicycles.
