"One wonders in this place, why anyone is left
in Dublin, or London, or Paris where it would be better, one would
think to live in a tent or hut, with this magnificent sea and
sky, and to breathe this wonderful air which is like wine in one's
teeth."
-- J.M. Synge --
A view of Castle and Ballymulcashel lakes showing
Mount Cashel House at the bottom of the picture. Guests can
enjoy the many activities this beautiful lakeside setting provides
such as lake fishing, boating and sailing around the Crannog are
very popular activities with our guests. Pike, bream and perch
are common species of fish caught. Trout are also present but
harder to catch! A local well known "gillie" is available by the
day, for the ardent (or novice) fisherman and woman. Advance booking
is required.
The woods provide pleasant walks and numerous opportunities
for exploring and birdwatching.

heater is available for those late nights by the lake. Each lodge
has a barbeque, so eating out is an option! Talking of which,
