The Hunting Lodge with stone cut stable courtyard has been carefully restored
retaining its natural beauty and original character. It is still a very
family friendly venue with local character, offering true comfort and relaxation,
but now offers guests many more facilities.
There are now 35 bedrooms, all imaginatively decorated and furnished in
keeping with all the building's period features. Conor's Bar is a wonderful
cosy place to unwind and enjoy a drink in front of the roaring fire - before
a meal in Snaffles Restaurant, with its stunning hand-carved ceiling.
The Equestrian Centre is ideally located behind the cut stone Hunting Lodge,
making it an ideal base for you to explore the surrounding areas. The new
Organic Victorian Spa based in the Hunting Lodge allows the therapists to
massage away your aches and pains after an exhilarating day's riding or
just because you deserve it!

Set on a mezzanine floor overlooking ancient woodland, Snaffles offers delicious
menus in stunning surroundings. With light, spacious and airy decor, the
open plan brasserie showcases a dramatic handcarved ceiling with chunky

The estate ethos of using the highest quality local ingredients is apparent
here without compromising on taste and choice. Offering a fresh approach
to modern Irish cuisine, food will be cooked in the state of the art wood

The Hunting Lodge caters wonderfully for private parties, functions and
other events.
