How we started
Our story started in 2021 when we opened our doors to share our home with guests from around the world. In 2024, we celebrated the arrival of our little bundle of joy and embarked on a new chapter by renovating our utility room and in September 2024, Carratraw Lodge welcomed its first guests, marking the beginning of an exciting new venture.
Our team
Luna and Conor are your welcoming hosts, always available to assist with any questions you may have. Our adorable Chihuahua, Molly, serves as the front-of-house manager at Carratraw and is eager to be your friendly first point of contact.
