It’s hard to imagine that all those glowing reviews are actually accurate, but the Ardcarne Lodge lived up to all of them when our family of 6 grownups and one almost 2-year-old spent 5 days there at the end of November. The house has everything you need, from ample non-IKEA dishes and at least 4 different ways to make coffee, to fluffy towels and excellent sheets and duvets. We instantly felt at home, due to Jim’s expert orientation and Bernie’s freshly baked scones and their very warm welcome, and the space worked perfectly for our group. You couldn’t ask for a nicer place to stay!
