About this property

BROWNSTOWN LODGE - Fishing Lodge & Country House with lake view and secluded location

BROWNSTOWN LODGE is a private fishing lodge & country house on the shores of the world famous brown trout and pike Lough Carra in County Mayo, Ireland. The lodge has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms with shower and bath, a large living room with open kitchen, induction hob and open fireplace. Satellite TV, sound bar, W-Lan, washing machine and dryer are further features, as well as the possibility of renting an on-site motor boat, fishing and fly fishing rods as well as an echosounder for a fee.

The secluded location of the lodge in this peaceful, idyllic Irish countryside, with no noise and views across the crystal clear Lough Carra, is probably unique to those seeking relaxation. A piece of "Robinson Crusoe" feeling with the amenities of a high-class home.

SURROUNDINGS: In a few minutes drive you reach the town of Ballinrobe, which with its Irish charm and the nice pubs, the quaint shops and a huge supermarket is the ideal starting point for shopping and evening activities.

FISHING: Lough Carra is one of Ireland's best-known limestone lakes, known for its Lough-style fishing and good pike and perch. Furthermore, you can also reach in just a few minutes the great lakes of the Irish West: Lough Mask and Lough Corrib, which probably no fisherman should be a foreign word. Here daily motorboats and rowing boats can be rented. Compared to our "Homemater" the Lough Carra, these lakes are very rocky and should not be used in storm and wind. The lodge is just 35 minutes' drive from Ireland's most famous salmon river, River Moy.

EXCURSIONS: In addition to ideal fishing, Brownstown Lodge is an ideal base for day trips to Galway, Ashford Castle, Ballina, the Wild Atlantic Way, Connemara, the white West Coast beaches or the beautiful County Donegal. Golfing is also possible in the immediate vicinity of the lodge - as is the town Ballinrobe known for its horse races.

HOW TO GET THERE: Brownstown Lodge Dublin is about 2.5 - 3 hours and mostly runs to Galway via the extremely well-developed highway. It could also be served by Knock Airport which is only 52 km away and 45 minutes drive from the lodge.

Perfect Family Getaway
We had the most wonderful stay at Brownstown Lodge. We were a family of 7 adults and this was our first trip to Ireland. We wanted a home base to make day trips from and Brownstown Lodge was absolutely perfect for us! the house is lovely, the property so peaceful, the view perfection. The house lends itself to privacy if you want it and togetherness when you want that. We would absolutely stay here again. Thomas was so helpful with information prior to our arrival. The house was spotless, the beds perfectly comfortable. We were able to enjoy a family meals together and conversation around the fireplace. I can't recommend this home enough. It was exactly what we were looking for. Thank you so much, Thomas, for making our first visit to Ireland so wonderful. We will be back.

Our second stay- Awesome as expected
Once again this year we had the privilege of spending 9 wonderful nights there. Everything is as described in the presentation, pictures absolutely reflect the complete house and property. Just like last year, we felt welcome and simply at home for the short time. The house is super well equipped, the kitchen has everything you need. Bathrooms are clean, beds comfortable and of good quality. The view of the lake is priceless. The contact with the landlord and the manager on site was friendly, discreet, fast and professional, just like last yearThe price-performance ratio is absolutely good.It was certainly not our last stay there.

A Remote Oasis
First of all, the lodge is exactly as portrayed in the pictures. We absolutely loved our 8 day stay in in this remote and quiet countryside. Lough Carra was beautiful, and we had sheep out front and dairy cows in the back. Beautifully landscaped as well. The caretakers, Jim and Mary were exceptional. We chose this place because we waned private and and countryside. We got it. It was the perfect base for our wanderings in Co. Mayo, Co. Galway and Connemara. My only sugesstion is for clearer driving directions. We would not have found it if not for Padrick, who escorted us there. The house was also stocked with essentials, and Mary baked us a welcome pie. There are two grocery stores in Ballinrobe for those who wish to prepare their own meals. We would definitely stay here again.

Unvergesslicher Aufenthalt in einer traumhaften Lodge
Selten schreibe ich Bewertungen, aber hier auf jeden Fall. Schon auf der Internetseite habe ich mich ein bisschen in das wunderschöne Häuschen verguckt- eigentlich zu groß für 2 Personen. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter im Vorfeld war super freundlich, die Wegbeschreibung und die Infos zum Haus und der Umgebung mit Tipps für Ausflüge, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Restaurants etc. sehr ausführlich und hilfreich. Unsere Erwartungen wurden definitiv übertroffen. Bei der Ankunft erwartete uns ein herzliches Willkommen in Form von frischen Blumen auf dem Tisch plus einem Apfelkuchen.Das Verwalterehepaar Mary und Jim begrüßte uns kurz nach unserer Ankunft persönlich. Das Haus samt Einrichtung ist wunderschön, extrem sauber, hell und mit viel Liebe und Geschmack eingerichtet. Es fehlte an nichts, von der Nespressomaschine über Gewürze, Toilettenpapier, Waschmittel, Haarfön etc....an alles wurde gedacht. Es gibt ausreichend Platz, vor allem das Zimmer im Obergeschoss ist riesig und super schön. Die Lage absolut traumhaft, im Grünen mit Blick auf den See, ruhig und malerisch. Idealer Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge mit dem Auto. Wir haben eine sehr entspannte Woche verbracht. Jim, den Verwalter, haben wir sehr ins Herz geschlossen und seine irische Freundlichkeit und Offenheit beim Tee trinken kennenlernen dürfen. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen, so ein schönes Haus und können die Brownstown Lodge nur weiterempfehlen.

Everything was fantastic! It's aways nice when the place looks exactly like the photos. What we didn't expect was the the caretaker was so wonderfully responsible and helpful. We even got to sample his wife's rhubarb pie! I highly recommend Brownstone Lodge.

Great stay at the Brownstown Lodge
We spent two lovely weeks at the Brownstown Lodge. The house is spacious and comfortable. It was a good base for our exploration of western Ireland. Thomas responded immediately to our texts. Jim and Mary were wonderful hosts. There was cake and a lovely bouquet of fresh flowers waiting for us upon arrival. Midway through our stay, Mary brought us a delicious homemade rhubarb crisp! We loved the peaceful country setting. We are in a hotel now in Dublin. . .missing the comforts of the Brownstown Lodge!

Sagenhaft gemütliches, sauberes Haus in ruhiger Lage
Bei unserer Ankunft konnten wir das Haus zu erst ein wenig für uns erkunden, da Check In über die Schlüsselbox erfolgte. Was für uns unglaublich angenehm war. Jim, der „Verwalter“ vor Ort stellte sich später kurz vor. Sehr diskret, nicht aufdringlich und sehr freundlich. Das Haus begrüßte uns bereits wohlig warm vorgeheizt mit einem selbst gebackenen Kuchen. Vielen Dank hierfür :) Da wir über Weihnachten blieben, wurde sogar der Wohnbereich geschmückt. Das Haus ist einfach super ausgestattet, sehr sauber und es ist einfach gemütlich. Wir fanden alles und noch mehr was man zum wirklich alltäglichen Leben benötigt. Wir konnten über Weihnachten unser Weihnachtsfestessen dort problemlos zubereiten. Wäsche waschen und trocknen kein Problem, es ist für alles gesorgt. Hervorheben möchte ich die absolute Sauberkeit des Hauses. Der Wohnbereich ist einfach gemütlich, die Couch ist bequem und der TV spricht für sich. Das Haus liegt ruhig und abgelegen und hat einen wunderschönen Blick auf den See und man ist dennoch relativ gut zentral für Ausflüge etc. die Betten sind ebenso super bequem. TV im oberen Schlafzimmer war eine positive Überraschung. Die Badezimmer sind sauber und schön angenehm groß. Es war ein super Aufenthalt und wir werden zu 100% wieder kommen. Danke das wir Gäste sein durften.

Alles bestens
Es gibt nichts negatives über das Haus oder die Einrichtung zu sagen. Der Kontakt mit dem Vermieter lief unproblematisch und schnell. Das Wetter, selbst Ende Oktober war perfekt. Über die Fische im See kann ich nichts sagen da ich weder das Boot noch Angeln benutzt habe da dies nicht in meinem Interessensbereich liegt. Somit voll zu empfehlen

Wonderful
We absolutely loved Brownstone Lodge. Perfect location near Lough Carra in County Mayo. We were able to do some fishing when the weather allowed. The remoteness of the location was amazing, so quiet and so peaceful. And the lodge was well stocked, clean and spacious. We enjoyed the company of our caretakers and they made sure that we had everything that we needed. We had a lovely time and we cannot wait to come back!

Wir haben 10 Tage in der Brownstown Lodge genossen. Alles war sehr sauber und es war alles vorhanden was man braucht. Wir sind keine Angler, aber die Lage mit Blick auf den See ist unbeschreiblich. Sehr nette Kommunikation per Mail mit dem Besitzer. Der Verwalter Jeff kümmert sich vor Ort um alles und ist sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Wir würden die Brownstown Lodge jederzeit wieder buchen!

A Piece of Irish Heaven
Brownstown Lodge is a wonderful place to enjoy the beauty and freshness of the Irish countryside. It is a short drive from the nearest town where you can get groceries and great food. We used the Lodge for our base camp from where we explored the beauty of north County Mayo. A great location for peace and relaxation. We felt at home at the Lodge. All the amenities that you need are supplied. Beautiful sunsets over Lough Carra. We plan to visit again.

Perfect Home I’m the Mayo Countryside
My Mom, myself and my 4 children rented Brownstown Lodge for 4 weeks. We saw so much of County Mayo, Galway and some of Co. Clare and Brownstown was the perfect base to explore the west of Ireland. The house was perfect Lough Carra’s crystal waters were a short walk away. A lovely house with a conscientious owner. Perfect stay.

The lodge is wonderful. It is located in a quiet, secluded location near the lake and not far from Ballinrobe. Great place to relax and use as a base to explore the West. Property is well maintained and contains every convenience. Thomas is the perfect host. He was very responsive in communicating and provided all the information we needed for our stay.
