2020 Award Winners PET FRIENDLY DESTINATION OF THE YEAR 2020

The Lodge at Ashford Castle Cong Co Mayo

While it is especially renowned for its beautiful location adjacent to Ashford Castle and head chef Jonathan Keane’s imaginative seasonal cuisine at Wilde's, The Lodge at Ashford Castle is also a favourite destination for people travelling with pets. VIPs (Very Important Pets) are made very welcome in garden rooms with easy access to walking in the grounds; a dog bed, towel, bowls and a hand made bone treat are all provided at a cost of €10 per dog per night (max 2 per room), plus a refundable damage deposit. Unusually, cats are also welcome and there are special pet menus available for both dogs and cats. A great place to stay - and very useful for dog owners to know about.
