I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. I was running a frankly outrageous 2 hours late after 'popping' into Dublin to pick two friends up, Gwen was not hassled by this and reassured me that it was okay. When turning up she was the most delightful host with suggestions for lunch and places to go. When returning later in the afternoon to settle down the fire was lit, food, the kitchen and all facilities in the Lodge were offered. When asking for the best route to walk into the Skerries she suggested walking through the family owned estate/farm that the lodge is built upon... truly magical.. and a 45 minute walk to the harbour restaurants. Comfy bed, clean room and great bathroom and kitchen. I'd recommend this if you'd like to stay out of town somewhere very peaceful and pretty but still be within walking or a 5 minute drive from the Skerries. Thank you Gwen.
