The gate lodge at Huntington Castle was a idyllic location for a few days away exploring the ‘sunny south east’, which lived up to its reputation with beautiful weather during our stay.
The lodge itself was cosy and full of old world charm. Our two little girls (6 & 4) really enjoyed the novelty of staying in such a quaint setting and revelled in having a playground on site and were fascinated by the peacocks at the castle. My wife and I made the most of the setting too. We explored the fantastic gardens and ran on some of the trains nearby, including the southernmost part of the Wicklow way trail which ends in the village of Clonegall. The cherry on top was the fact that the local pub is located a stones throw away from the lodge and we availed of take-away pints with our evening meals on a couple of occasions. I certainly plan to return again in the future.
