Delphi Lodge
Delphi
Lodge, Ireland's most famous fishing lodge, was for many years the
sporting playground of the Marquis of Sligo. A large comfortable
1830's country house, with great atmosphere, it is set in a deep
valley of unparalleled beauty. The spectacular mountain location
has inspired many writers over the years and Delphi was recently
described by the New York Times as "an inviolable wilderness
preserve" and by the Financial Times as "an estate of
fabulous beauty".
The famous Delphi Fishery offers private fly-fishing for wild salmon
and sea trout on a delightful little river and lake system.
Though fishing is a primary pastime, Delphi is also popular with
hill walkers, artists, golfers and horsemen and, being very remote,
it offers real peace and relaxation to all guests. On wet days a
billiard room, an eclectic library and a fine wine list help to
pass the time. Guests normally eat together at a vast oak table
and the atmosphere is that of a friendly house party.
