Lost Cottage
County Kerry
Once a tumbledown bungalow populated by mountain goats, this place was spruced up by a local family to become the sustainable-luxe lakeside hideaway it is today. Beneath the red-tin roof, furnishings have been crafted from local Douglas fir and a concrete floor colour-matched to the Iveragh Peninsula. Our favourite part? Stargazing from the sunken tub in the glass-roofed bathroom - Kerry is Ireland's first International Dark Sky Reserve.
