River Lodge

This beautiful granite gate lodge is over 200 years old and is tucked inside the entrance to The Manor Cottages. It overlooks the Brittas river which is full of wildlife all year round. The cottage has recently been renovated in a traditional style but with all the modern day comforts. The cottage has a romantic feel to it and is wonderfully private. The cottage has its own designated parking area and a large private garden. It’s close to both Dublin and the airport yet feels wonderfully remote.

The exterior of a brick house is shown, featuring a charming facade with arched doorways and large windows. Lush greenery and vibrant flowers are present in the garden, enhancing the inviting appearance. Clear blue skies above contribute to the pleasant setting.
