BROWNSTOWN LODGE - Fishing Lodge & Country House with lake view and secluded location

lovely lake outside the door which we spent time swimming in, children really enjoyed it.

Beautiful home in a great location. Peaceful setting with great sightseeing destinations within an hour or two drive. Owner Thomas is very responsive and caretaker Jim are wonderful hosts.

a great house for a relaxing holiday in Ireland. The house is wonderful as a base for excursions in the northwest of Ireland. The house is equipped with everything you need, we got an apple-pie as a welcome-present and every question we had was answered. Would love to come back sometimes :) Thank you!

If you are looking to get away from it all, noise, traffic every day city life this is a must place to stay. It’s situated off the road and every morning you can sit out front with your cup of coffee or hot tea and listen to the birds and the absolute silence around you. Now we had our own car and being from the US we had to drive on a different side of the street but that being said it wasn’t all that difficult. My husband was a pro. There were so many cool things to do within two hours of where we were at most places were within 30 to 40 minutes And it was amazing. Jim the caretaker he was so helpful and patient and had so much knowledge of the area he was a joy. Even when I had to email the owner, he always responded so quickly and graciously because I’m sure some of my questions were a little silly that he always was there to help me within moments of my text/email. For me, my absolute favorite part was every night of the three weeks we were there the sunset over the lake was absolutely breathtaking.

The lodge is just incredible! The lodge is situated in such a peaceful place, surrounded by cows, sheeps and lake. There is a picnic table outside, and we enjoyed diners outside while watching the birds. Inside the lodge,the living room is very spacious, the house is clean with all the necessities you need. We didn’t miss a thing! Jim and his wife, the neighbors next door were so welcoming, checking on us every other day, bringing crumble and flowers to welcome us. It was so good, we are even considering going back to Ireland next year! Thank you for making our family holiday so memorable!

We had the most wonderful stay at Brownstown Lodge. We were a family of 7 adults and this was our first trip to Ireland. We wanted a home base to make day trips from and Brownstown Lodge was absolutely perfect for us! the house is lovely, the property so peaceful, the view perfection. The house lends itself to privacy if you want it and togetherness when you want that. We would absolutely stay here again. Thomas was so helpful with information prior to our arrival. The house was spotless, the beds perfectly comfortable. We were able to enjoy a family meals together and conversation around the fireplace. I can't recommend this home enough. It was exactly what we were looking for. Thank you so much, Thomas, for making our first visit to Ireland so wonderful. We will be back.

Once again this year we had the privilege of spending 9 wonderful nights there. Everything is as described in the presentation, pictures absolutely reflect the complete house and property. Just like last year, we felt welcome and simply at home for the short time. The house is super well equipped, the kitchen has everything you need. Bathrooms are clean, beds comfortable and of good quality. The view of the lake is priceless. The contact with the landlord and the manager on site was friendly, discreet, fast and professional, just like last yearThe price-performance ratio is absolutely good.It was certainly not our last stay there.

First of all, the lodge is exactly as portrayed in the pictures. We absolutely loved our 8 day stay in in this remote and quiet countryside. Lough Carra was beautiful, and we had sheep out front and dairy cows in the back. Beautifully landscaped as well. The caretakers, Jim and Mary were exceptional. We chose this place because we waned private and and countryside. We got it. It was the perfect base for our wanderings in Co. Mayo, Co. Galway and Connemara. My only sugesstion is for clearer driving directions. We would not have found it if not for Padrick, who escorted us there. The house was also stocked with essentials, and Mary baked us a welcome pie. There are two grocery stores in Ballinrobe for those who wish to prepare their own meals. We would definitely stay here again.

Everything was fantastic! It's aways nice when the place looks exactly like the photos. What we didn't expect was the the caretaker was so wonderfully responsible and helpful. We even got to sample his wife's rhubarb pie! I highly recommend Brownstone Lodge.

We spent two lovely weeks at the Brownstown Lodge. The house is spacious and comfortable. It was a good base for our exploration of western Ireland. Thomas responded immediately to our texts. Jim and Mary were wonderful hosts. There was cake and a lovely bouquet of fresh flowers waiting for us upon arrival. Midway through our stay, Mary brought us a delicious homemade rhubarb crisp! We loved the peaceful country setting. We are in a hotel now in Dublin. . .missing the comforts of the Brownstown Lodge!

We absolutely loved Brownstone Lodge. Perfect location near Lough Carra in County Mayo. We were able to do some fishing when the weather allowed. The remoteness of the location was amazing, so quiet and so peaceful. And the lodge was well stocked, clean and spacious. We enjoyed the company of our caretakers and they made sure that we had everything that we needed. We had a lovely time and we cannot wait to come back!
