My friends and I attended a wedding at Coolbawn Quay last weekend. None of us had been but knew that accommodation on site was quite pricey. A quick look on Air BnB presented Whitewood Lodge at a very competitive price. The location was perfect for us - about a 10 minute drive to the Quay but a nice, quiet spot. On arrival, we were greeted by one of our hosts and made to feel very welcome. The grounds around the lodges are very well kept and we were disappointed that we didn’t have more time to explore. On check out, we met Beatrix, a beautiful white retriever who was a total pet. She delayed our departure somewhat as we couldn’t bring ourselves to leave her!! I would recommend Whitewood Lodges to anyone looking for a quiet getaway to Lough Derg.
