Cassard House

0 1 2 3

While most visitors will want to spend as little time at Cassard House as possible, that says much more about the wonderful wildlife watching opportunities available on the doorstep than it does about the lodge itself. Offering 4 clean, comfortable and spacious rooms (all with private facilities), a homely shared lounge and a large dining area and bar, the lodge is a really cozy environment in which to escape the often chastening winds outside – which, along with the roof mounted solar panels, provide all the power for the lodge. Wi-Fi is available throughout.
