The Gate Lodge is a quaint, oldy-worldly cottage in a unique location on the edge of the lough. The nights are wonderfully quiet around the lough and if you get a clear moonless night the stars are absolutely amazing. The lodge was adequate for our needs but could do with a bit of an update. Contrary to the listing, there is wifi and some intermittent cell service but no phone. We did take advantage of the row boat to explore the lake but suggest some new rowlocks to make the rowing easier. The local caretaker Tim was very friendly and stopped by a few times to see if there was anything we needed.
Would definitely choose the lodge again for a quiet vacation.
