Bespoke lakeside shepherd's hut on the shore with cool outdoor 'cube' for fireside evenings overlooking the bay, on Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way!
Note - Bookings in Nov 20 (as everywhere in all of Ireland) only for non-touristic purposes.
BOOK with CONFIDENCE - if there's a 'lockdown' (with you, or us) we'll allow you to MOVE DATES to any in 2020/21. Different seasons may be different prices.
We're lucky enough to own a wonderful piece of land on Traighenna Bay, a sheltered stretch of water on Ireland's famous 'Wild Atlantic Way'. We've designed and built 'Lakeside Luna' to sit on the edge of a beautiful pool, and also 'Kuba' alongside where guests can enjoy their evenings undercover with a wood-burning stove. It's an entirely self-contained private unit that is comfortable all year round.
Luna has been carefully designed to contain all the essentials - a quality (full-size) double bed, fridge, cooker etc, and a small shower and toilet room inside. Outside you've decking and Kuba, an 'outdoor cube' we designed so you could enjoy the views fireside in any weather.
A 5-minute drive will take you to Dooey beach (one of the finest in Ireland) or there are smaller, sandy beaches on the way. You can walk to the shore from Luna, but it's best to nip into the car for the really nice sandy beaches. Locally you'll find an amazing coastline, small-towns, good food, Glenveigh National Park and plenty to fill weeks of day trips.

Amazing views from the unique accommodation that is Luna! We had a fab stay and were blessed with lovely weather to enjoy all the outside space around the little lake! The shipping container was great...
