The outdoor dining areas are accessible, but some other areas of the garden may be more difficult for wheelchair users to access, due to the nature of the landscape. We would encourage you to contact our team to discuss your individual requirements, whether related to mobility, sensory needs or other considerations.

Our team is on site at all times, so if you have any problems with the property during your stay, you will be able to contact our on-site property manager. We understand that small breakages such as glasses and crockery can happen, but we do ask that you let us know so that we can replace them.

We strongly believe that we have a duty to protect this magnificent landscape, and we try to incorporate sustainable environmental practices and green initiatives into everything that we do.

Our onsite wind turbine creates electricity which helps to power our buildings, and our biomass boiler provides heating and hot water, using logs sourced in our local forest. We have an onsite recycling centre, and all our kitchen waste is turned into compost for use in our polytunnel. We’ve been B-Corp certified since 2024, so when you stay with us you know that you’re choosing to tread lightly on this beautiful place we call home.

Demand for the Killary Lodge is high during certain periods, so the following minimum stay requirements apply:

• July and August: 7 night minimum
• Easter, Christmas & New Year: 4 night minimum
• June/September & Bank Holiday weekends: - 3 night minimum

Due to the size of the property and time required to ensure it is fully cleaned and prepared to a high standard for our guests, we have a 2-night minimum stay at all other times of the year. We regret that one-night stays are not possible at any time.
