spacious, peaceful, stylish property in a beautiful rural setting
We really loved the gate lodge - very spacious and comfortable. It has the most beautiful rural views but is also well located close to local towns and villages. We'd thoroughly recommend it.

Absolutely our favorite VRBO in Ireland
We used this comfortable, well appointed, gate house as our home base for our tour of Northern Ireland. It was absolutely perfect and even had a dryer, making it possible for us to refresh for the second week of our journey. The views were outstanding, the local villages had wonderful restaurants, grocery’s and quaint Irish pubs. If you choose to stay here you will not regret it; I promise.

The Perfect Holiday Cottage
The cottage itself was everything we had hoped for … fabulous accommodation, clean, peaceful and well maintained. It was an excellent location for easy access to all parts of the country’s tourist attractions and places of interest. We would highly recommend this cottage and location as the perfect base.

Awesome
If someone is looking to stay in northern Ireland, I would highly recommend this place. Esther, our host has created an absolutely wonderful home-away-from-home. The surrounding area is stunning. The Halfway House restaurant is a short distance away, the food and the service there is also five star. When we return this is where we will stay.

A really comfortable cottage of character in a peaceful location, with nice outlook over surrounding countryside. Our host Esther went out of her way to help us after we suffered a seroius health problem during our stay.

We enjoyed our stay at Scion Lodge. Location was peaceful with beautiful views of the countryside.
Ester was friendly and arrival process was easy. Only criticism is that we found the kitchen a little lacking in cooking utensils ( baking trays etc). Otherwise accommodation was very roomy and well equipped.
