Virginia Park Lodge

An 18th-century hunting estate set in 100 acres of beautiful Cavan countryside, Virginia Park Lodge overlooks Lough Ramor and Deerpark Forest. Truly a unique estate, this former home of Lord Headfort and his wife, the Marchioness of Headfort has a storied past filled with romance, elegant parties and exotic flora and fauna.

Steeped in history, Virginia Park Lodge has been carefully brought back to life and into Irish hands by Michelin starred chef Richard Corrigan, one of the most established Irish Chefs in the UK and beyond. Chef Corrigan splits his time between the Lodge and his London restaurants; Bentley’s Oyster Bar and Grill in Piccadilly, Corrigan's Mayfair, Daffodil Mulligan and The Portrait Restaurant. Most recently he has also taken on a local Cavan pub, The Deerpark Inn. 

The stunning estate is a haven for walkers, fishermen, boaters and those simply looking to relax in serene beauty of the Irish countryside. The Lodge is the epitome of elegance, with a distinctly homely feel and luxury finishing touches. 

Set amidst 100 acres of stunning grounds and scenery, the grounds of Virginia Park Lodge are generously divided between forestry with scenic pedestrian walkways. The grounds also boast a nine-hole golf course, extensive walks and agricultural land along the banks of the renowned fishing lake of Lough Ramor, in the heart of the picturesque town of Virginia.

Virginia Park Lodge is available on an exclusive rental basis.
