Self-Catering Accommodation in Co. Waterford

Nestled amidst Ballyduff’s sprawling pathways, Cliff River Lodge exudes a unique charisma. A lovingly refurbished former Garda Station, this quaint abode is the latest addition to CLIFF Residence’s versatile portfolio. The house’s rustic exterior possesses a mysterious air, true to its Gothic roots. When guests step in, however, they are greeted by high-pitched ceilings, wide-set walls, and a welcoming ambience. What sets the property apart is its proximity to the salmon-rich River Blackwater, which makes it a haven for angling enthusiasts.

Guests at the lodge have access to a personal fishing beat, offering a tranquil setting for a day of adventure. CLIFF Fishery enhances the experience with competitively priced Daily Fishing Passes. You may even avail of additional ghillie services rendered by Christ Coady to savour a truly educational and rewarding escape in the Irish countryside.

Spanning two floors, the house features four spacious bedrooms, each furnished with a luxurious king-sized bed, wooden shelves, and elegant, minimalist décor. Large windows on both sides offer picturesque views of the serene countryside. A decorative fireplace complements the modern furnishings, adding a hint of the building’s medieval aesthetic. En-suite bathrooms, located in the turrets, are finished with grey Marmorino plaster. The interior staircase, covered in striped carpeting, adds a vibrant touch to the home’s design.

Downstairs, the house offers all the modern amenities expected in a five-star rental. The vanity room, complete with two showers and a dressing area, occupies what was once the barracks’ prison cell, preserving the building’s Gothic essence with its darkened walls and striking brickwork. Nearby, the cosy kitchen features bright, green-panelled shelves and is equipped with a hob, stove, and dining table—perfect for unwinding with a meal after exploring the area. Opposite the kitchen, a small breakfast room is elegantly furnished, and a corner wet bar with custom shelving adds a stylish touch.

In the summer’s warmth, the outdoor veranda with its mounted TV invites guests to relax and unwind. Nearby, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen is perfect for hosting a barbecue feast. Pet owners will appreciate the spacious dog kennel available on-site. After a day of fishing by the river, guests can rejuvenate in the outdoor hot tub, which offers stunning views of the rolling fields. This soothing retreat promises enjoyment in every season.
