Lugdine Lodge

Lugdine Lodge is a gently styled single-storey cottage set near Glengarriff in Cork, benefitting from an open-fire, off-road parking, and a garden complete with patio, decking, and a charcoal barbecue.

Tucked within the private Dromgarriff estate, the cottage enjoys a woodland backdrop that creates a sense of being removed from the bustle of the main road between Glengarriff and Bantry.

Inside, the open-plan living area forms the heart of the home, with the open-fire adding character as you settle down after outings, prepare meals, or simply relax at the dining table.

The king-size bedroom includes its own en-suite walk-in shower room, while the twin bedroom sits close to the separate shower room, making the layout practical for both families and pairs of travelling friends.

With all rooms arranged across one storey, the cottage is easy to navigate, and doors lead out to the garden, where meals outdoors, afternoon reading, and barbecues can become part of the daily rhythm.

The village of Glengarriff lies just a short drive away, offering places to eat, small shops, and the well-regarded Eccles Hotel with its terrace overlooking the sea.

From the harbour, boats depart for Garnish Island, home to renowned gardens shaped by a sheltered microclimate.

Travel to Bantry to visit its lively Friday market, admire Bantry House and Gardens, or enjoy kayaking sessions from the pier in summer.

For those who enjoy staying active, the Glengarriff Golf Club sits close by, offering nine holes surrounded by scenic woodland.

Thoughtfully arranged for simple, slow-paced days, Lugdine Lodge provides a relaxed base for exploring the beauty of West Cork.
