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.
During your stay at this cabin, you'll be close to Mount Lyford. A kitchen and 2 bathrooms are available in the cabin.
  • The cabin offers a kitchen, a washing machine, and 2 bathrooms
  • Onsite recreation includes tennis courts
  • 9 minutes by car from Mount Stewart and 13 minutes from Mount Cookson
This cabin offers its guests barbecue grills and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Lyford cabin is smoke free.

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!

A great find
We booked this house at fairly short notice and were charmed by the area. It's a very special place and we enjoyed the relaxation. The house is very rustic but it's quirks just make it better.

Great weekend get away from the city
Nice experience, a unique the property has a good rustic feel to it if you’re looking to get out and enjoy nature for the weekend. Lots of space for a big group. Could do with some upgrades to some of the beds sometime soon but besides that really nice.

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.

How’s the serenity
Excellent time here! Easy access to beautiful walks. Wonderful location. Found the house needed a little TLC but wasn’t much of an issue at all. A lot of bugs during summer pack some fly spray!

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.
