Peace and Tranquility

We had the most wonderful stay at Catherines’ Fia Lodge. The peace and tranquility there is indescribable. We could’ve spent the whole trip just looking at the views through the wall of glass in the lounge! The house is surrounded by woods, streams, mountains, rivers, lakes and is one of the most beautiful places we’ve seen.

We were treated to some spectacular star-gazing on a few clear nights, lying back on the recliner chairs provided. With the Iveragh Peninsula being in a rare dark sky reserve, it was a great experience.

We had some fabulous hikes from the front door, including being able to get straight onto the famous Kerry Way. We loved seeing the deer and goats wandering through the woods. Parts of the nearby Lickeen Woods is described as being like Middle Earth in Lord of The Rings and it truly was spectacular to walk through.

The lodge itself was SO comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved our evenings by the log stove, relaxing after adventuring during the day. Catherine has done a wonderful job at decorating the house in a luxurious way while keeping the focus on drawing the surrounding nature inside, through the beautiful windows.

We’ll definitely return to Fia lodge!
