Fantastic getaway!

The property is beautifully designed. There is great attention to detail. It is also well equipped, homely and comfortable. We loved returning there after a day out. It was very special sitting on the balcony with the binoculars taking in the beautiful views. Thank you Charlotte for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful Cozy Cottage w/ Surreal Views

The Hidden Cottage is out of a magazine! Very clean, decorated beautifully, seems brand new and the views from every vantage point are breathtaking. We couldn’t believe how lucky we were to have found it.

A Perfect Quiet Hideaway

We loved our time at the Hidden Lodge. It was a perfect place for us to tuck in for a couple days of a slow-down in the middle of our two week trip around Ireland. The quiet town of Ardara had anything we needed and even some sweet little shops to explore. (Definitely stop and visit with Eddie at his tweed shop and get a demonstration of his loom!) We are more scenery and wilderness seekers than city shoppers, though, and the area did not disappoint! Day trips to see waterfalls, mountains, and beaches were just what we were looking for. And even on one of our days when we needed to lay low, the lodge itself is THE most lovely haven.

The view was spectacular, anyone wanting to really get away from the hustle and bustle of the world would find it the perfect spot . The lodge was beautiful inside , very cosy and clean . The decor was very tasteful and elegant. The amenities were mostly excellent apart from a few tiny issues ( we had to buy a pack of dish cloths as didnt always want to use dishwasher) and a bigger inside bin would be handy . The beds were very comfortable and linen pristinely clean . The one real negative I feel compelled to mention is the road up to the lodge . It’s probably a quarter of a mile of potholes , overgrown brambles and loose gravel . My brother drove and had just gotten a new car .. as you can imagine.. he was not best pleased having to traverse that everyday . It did put a bit of a dampener on our spirits … especially as he had drove 3 hours to get there . We understand that paving a road that length would be a very costly undertaking but even filing the bigger potholes and trimming the more aggressive brambles would’ve helped. It was a shame about the road as the lodge itself was lovely . Genuinely hope the owner reads this and takes it into consideration.

Ein wunderschönes und gemütliches Häuschen mit einer Atemberaubenden Aussicht. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Wir hatten eine sehr wundervolle Zeit und haben den Aufenthalt (auch an den wenigen regnerischen Tagen) sehr genossen. Es ist ein gemütlich eingerichtetes Haus mit einer wunderschönen Aussicht!
