The magic begins the moment you arrive, greeted by two curious alpacas and a few very friendly donkeys! The Lodge has been carefully and tastily restored into a rustic retreat ideal for 2-3 guests. There are wonderful textures throughout, from Foxford throws & cushions to old style slate floors. Warm concrete walls and exposed copper pipes add further texture while white fluffy towels and bathrobes add a luxurious touch. The kitchen's dark wood-stained cabinets provide a beautiful contrast against the off-white walls, paired with a simple shelf and vintage serving plates. The light-filled living area has the most beautiful views over White Strand Bay and sunsets to die for. A solid-fuel stove is ready to be lit in colder weather or to warm yourself up after an outdoor seaweed bath_ (or after you've braced yourself under the plunge bucket!) The bedroom is simple in design and very cosy and suitable for light luggage, with a comfortable queen size iron bed, layers of blankets in muted colours and heavy curtains that allow for a well-deserved lie-in. The house is designed for two people but can cater for 3 with a lovely sofa bed in the living room converting to a double bed. Everything has been considered. Outside is a boot room with wellies to explore on the damp days, a hen den to collect free range eggs and a pizza oven to enjoy your own homemade pizza on a beautiful evening. Stunning Property with a unique and quirky rustic interior. Indoor & outdoor wood burning stoves, outdoor hot tub, power showers, pizza oven. Spectacular sea views, 2 mins drive from the beautiful White Strand beach. Donkeys & Alapacas to welcome you along with a hamper of treats. Several wonderful restaurants and bars within a short distance. Cliffs of Moher just a 20 mins drive. Lahinch and Doonbeg Championship golf courses only 15 minutes away. The Gate Lodge dates back to 1837 and underwent a full refurbishment in 2019 to create a luxurious property with a very considered interior. You'll be greeted by Alpacas and donkeys which adds to the joy of the property. It's all about relaxation, foxford blankets, wood burning stove, outdoor hot tub with complimentary seaweed packs. We know you'll love the property as much as we do. Your welcome hamper includes homemade brown bread, pink lemonade, flapjacks, crisps and a few more extras.

What a magical retreat. If I could rate this 11 out of 10, I would!! Stunning beautiful inside and out. Private and quaint. My fiancé/now wife stayed here wedding/honeymoon and we both couldn’t have been happier. We will be back for years to come.
Exactly as it looks. Beautifully presented and designed. Warm,comfortable and quiet. Great base for us for a weekend to see cliffs, parks and towns of Clare. Can’t fault it.

About the host
Hosted by Host
Pat, Ríain & I (Aoife) are living in Spanish Point, having grown up in the area. Pat & I have been in the hospitality business for quite a while now, we just recently sold Spanish Point House John at the Armada and just to keep an interest in hospitality, which we thoroughly enjoy, we were delighted to purchase the Gate Lodge at White Strand. We feel very lucky to live in such a beautiful area within 2 beaches on our doorstep and several wonderful dining options in the area.
