COTTAGES
At the edge of Poulnasherry Bay, with peaceful farmland at its back and the tidal wetland at its front, lies the NatureQuest Lodge. Superbly located, the Lodge offers 3 fully equipped luxury courtyard cottages, Dunlin, Curlew & Heron. The cottages provide charming accommodation. They are spacious and self-contained.
Each has a bright living room with under-floor heating and large windows allowing the beauty outside to be a part of the cosy interior. The kitchens are fully equipped and have in addition cooker, fridge, dishwasher and microwave. Washing-machine, dryer and ironing facilities are available free of charge in the laundry.
Upstairs, the cottages have two bedrooms with differing configurations of double and single beds, each bedroom with it's own bathroom attached. Dunlin, Curlew and Heron are individually decorated in a relaxed country-style and have all the amenities of home in a very beautiful setting.
