Lancewood lodge, the favourite log chalet for groups and multiple families

Lancewood Lodge is cosy for four, and has room for 12 people or more. The lodge is fully equipped and has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The big lounge is a comfortable meeting place to relay your outdoor activities of the day to one another, while enjoying a well earned glass of wine. The children can wind down watching a movie or playing games.

With its 4 bedrooms Lancewood Lodge is ideal for 4 couples and can even handle their children. The lodge is equipped with 2 bathrooms with shower, toilet and basin in each. The big lounge provides ample space to relax after a day in the outdoors. The open plan kitchen makes sure that the cook for the day is just as much part of the conversation.

A cozy log fire attributes to the atmosphere of this quirky log chalet. Downstairs is one bedroom with a kingsize bed and a single bunkbed. Follow the stairs under the porch up and arrive at a balcony with access to 3 other bedrooms and a bathroom. The furthest bedroom has a queensize bed and a single; the middle bedroom has a double bed and a single and the closest bedroom has a fourposter queensize bed, a single and a pile of mattresses. This last bedroom has direct access to the bathroom with toilet, shower and basin, or access can be obtained through the outside door.

The porch on the front side of the lodge has a BBQ and handcrafted wooden furniture, a unique seat to study Mt Lyford from.

Your group will have exclusive use of the lodge during your stay.
Note that bedlinens/towels are not standard included but can be arranged on request.
NOTE: NO EV charging permitted at this house

The comments of recent guests say it all:
“The chalet was the perfect size for our group and we were able to have enough space to be all together, and yet also had our own space in bedrooms when needed. No-one in our group had been to Mt Lyford before and as it turned out, our break away up to Mt Lyford was exactly what we were looking for relaxing, loads of fresh air and space, and an ideal place to spend time and catch up with friends.
The cabin is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

Amazing house and location - cleanliness needed attention

We had a fantastic weekend at Lancewood Lodge! The house is beautiful and eclectic, with plenty of space and a warm, welcoming vibe that made it a great retreat for our group. However, we did notice a few areas where cleanliness could be improved. The upstairs bathrooms and shower could have used a more thorough clean, and we found crumbs and food scraps on the tables and benches, as well as someone’s blister skin on one of the bedside tables. There were also a few dead bugs on the floor (to be expected in a rural area, of course). Overall, we really enjoyed our stay, but a bit more attention to cleaning would make it perfect!

Beautiful and Rustic house

We enjoyed our stay at this property with few friends. The rustic decor was an instant wow factor. All the required facilities were provided as indicated in the listing. A dishwasher would have been helpful considering the large group eating 3 times on a holiday for 3 days. We would love to stay here again sometime in future. Thank you.

Pretty good overall although there were a few things.....no can opener, oven didn't work at all well very difficult when you are feeding 14 people you need the oven to work. Th downstairs bed could have a more comfortable mattress it rolls all into the middle. Location perfect and all the rest was as well great relaxing weekend away.
