Ard na Sidhe Country House

� Ard na Sidhe – the Hill of the Fairies

As magical as its name suggests uilt at the behest of Lady Gordon in 1913, Ard na Sidhe Country House is an enchanting house in a magical setting. As a private home, this Victorian style manor house was grand in scale. As a hotel it is intimate and personal, with just seventeen bedrooms, set on the shores of majestic Caragh lake, one of ’s famous lakes. People are drawn back to Ard na Sidhe. Its ambience combines graceful elegance and old world enchantment, with the luxury of modern comforts and conveniences. “Ard na Sidhe”, or “Hill of the Fairies” is named for the mystical fairy fort which you’ll find as you stroll to the west of the house, through the award winning gardens amid Rhododendron, Azeleas and the peaceful stillness of Caragh Lake.
