The Lodge enjoys the feel of a relaxed rural country house hotel while being an intrinsic part of the truly remarkable Ashford Castle estate. Once home to the Guinness family, the historic estate has won countless awards and covers 350 acres of formal, manicured gardens and wild, rambling woodland rich in wildlife – all right there on our doorstep. Warm Irish hospitality awaits at The Lodge at Ashford Castle, part of the Red Carnation Hotel Collection. With our picturesque lakeside setting, elegant interiors, imaginative cuisine and attentive personal service, The Lodge is a chic and elegant sanctuary, just outside the charming village of Cong, in the heart of Mayo.
