Luxury Self Catering Accommodation. With a spectacular waterfront location overlooking the Atlantic Ocean & Ballinskelligs Bay, Fuchsia Lodge is a luxury purpose built holiday home ideally situated on the Ring of Kerry. Surrounded by a half acre of private garden with stunning views of the Atlantic – the lodge makes an idyllic retreat for anyone that wishes to explore and enjoy the Southwest of Ireland. Everything about Fuchsia Lodge is designed with the guests ultimate comfort in mind. It is tasteful in its décor, stylish in its choice of furnishings and fabrics and creative in its use of light.
Located just outside the village of Waterville, the property is wonderfully secluded yet very conveniently sited: Fuchsia lodge overlooks a beautiful secluded beach at Loher, it’s a ten minute walk to the much acclaimed Hogs Head golf course, a five minute drive to the renowned seafood restaurants and pubs in the village of Waterville and the market town of Cahersiveen is only 15 kms away
Fuchsia Lodge is located on the Wild Atlantic Way and is in the center of the International Dark Sky Reserve. The night sky around the lodge is one of the most amazing views you will enjoy, including the milky way on clear nights. The low levels of light pollution provides a unique opportunity to stargaze!

The area is blessed with some of the most spectacular scenery in Ireland & offers walkers and cyclists endless possibilities for sightseeing & touring. The area boasts an abundance of ancient historical sites, among these are the 6th century Skelligs UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Stone Fort at Loher and 6th century ruins on Church Island. The area is particularly popular with artists & nature lovers. There are endless possibilities to experience the indigenous flora & fauna first hand. The village has attracted numerous celebrities over the years, from Charlie Chaplin to world famous golfers, such as Tiger Woods and Mark O'Meara.
Fuchsia Lodge has four bedrooms, all en-suite & elegantly furnished. Slightly different in size & shape, they all share a common point in decoration & simple sophistication.

One of the king-size rooms can be made up as a twin room, if preferred. The open-plan kitchen, dining room & living room is the focal point of the home.

The house/property/location is beautiful. The western side of Ireland is so beautiful. One gorgeous view after another. My wife and I, along with two other couples stayed at the house for the week. We enjoyed it so much. We flew in/ and started our trip in Dublin. Then drove out to house (should have given ourselves more time to get out to the house. Didn't expect for the roads to be quite so small and the GPS will not necessarily send you the right direction). The days after, we went to Waterville, Cahersiveen, Doolin, Galway, Killarney, Dingle, Kenmare and Cork. Everyone of them beautiful. We would have like to seen more, but ran out of time (you can't get anywhere fast)(and be prepared for it to rain every day). But that is part of the beauty of Western Ireland. Getting rid of trash/rubbish is bit of an issue also. Despite the roads, we had a great time.

This house is very nice, but better suited for those requiring three ensuite baths. No place for six adults to gather for tv. Well eqipped with operating manuals for appliances. Beautiful view. Neighbor showed us how to access the beach, lovely .management responded to some minor maintenance issues in reasonable time

We stayed at Fuschia Lodge for a mont. it was truly a fantastic property. You have views from all four bedrooms across the Ballinskelligs Bay. Quarter mile .5 km walk to the beach access. Lovely walk about 4 mi, 6.5 km on the lanes around the lodge. All appliances worked well once we figured out where the electric on switch was!
About 3 km to Waterville. There are 2 nice pubs there, the Lobster and the Villa. At the Villa every Tuesday is open mic and locals come to play and sing. There is a Centra grocery store there and two other restaurants. We were there in mid April-mid May so missed the summer crowds.
I really can’t recommend this place highly enough. It is stunning and has thoughtful details like a full sauna, lots of parking, and a clothesline.
Thank you Caragh! We loved our stay!

The property is outstanding and we could have sat on the couches and stared out the window, all week. You can see cliffs, a beach and a beautiful view to hills on the other side of the bay. We had a couple of days of poor weather and simply stayed in and enjoyed the property. We had a few mechanical issues but most of them were our own ignorance of how the appliances worked. Caragh helped through any issues and we had a terrific stay. We would of course reccomend this property to all lovers of this beautiful area of Ireland.

Kerry is the closest you will come to heaven, and this absolutely beautiful home is a perfect example of a little slice of heaven. My family which included my Dad, my two sisters with their partners and my girlfriend and I and her 8 year old daughter just spent a week here. We chose this location as my Mam’s ashes are scattered just up the road in Derrynane and it was conveniently located to visit the towns that my Mam and Dad frequented when visiting their favourite place in Ireland. The house has everything you could possibly want. Proximity to the town is brilliant just a nice walk, the beach a short stroll and the views oh my God, I can never get sick of them no matter what the weather is. Caragh the owner was extremely pleasant and helpful and the house is kitted out with everything you could possibly need. I will return to this house again as it exceeded our dreams of what we might even be walking into. I cannot praise this house and location enough and words don’t justify how beautiful it truly is. I would strongly recommend anyone looking to travel to Kerry to stay here “Just not when I want to please!”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Fuchsia Lodge. The house is beautiful, clean and well stocked with everything we needed and we couldn't get enough of the spectacular views from all sides of the house! Caragh was an excellent communicator for our sightseeing questions and the welcome basket was lovely to arrive to after our long travel from the US. The location was perfect, right along the Ring of Kerry and we took full advance of driving each day to explore all the wonderful sights and towns along the The Kerry Way! Highly recommend this 5 star!

We enjoyed our stay at the Fuschia Lodge. Although our weather was not great, we appreciated the space and views from the house. It was well stocked with everything we could need. The hot showers were a welcome reprieve after being out in the rain. The house was conveniently located to Waterville. My girls and I enjoyed a lovely hike along the Kerry Way steps from the house.

We had a really great time in this beautiful house in this beautiful location. There were hares and stonechats and field pipits in the garden, coastal walks, and we made the trek to Dingle for a rib ride to see dolphins, puffins, and minke whale. The house is perfect (and the internet works!), and Kerry is gorgeous.

We had a wonderful week in Fuschia Lodge. Communication with the owner, before and during our stay, was excellent. The house is beautifully appointed and we watched stunning sunsets. We swam everyday in the nearby beach which we had to ourselves even though the weather was fantastic ! The sauna was an added bonus and we hope to return someday.

Amazing property and location
We were two families staying in the Autumn half term. Kids from age 10 up.
The views across the bay are incredible. The sunsets stunning. The cottage is designed with this in mind. Allowing you to have breathtaking views in the warmth of inside. I’d imagine in the summer it would be brilliant. BBQ’s all the time.
The cottage it’s self is clean, well equipped, modern. Plenty of space all en-suite / private bathroom. The location is a good few miles from local amenities not that was a problem for us.
If we were coming back to the area we’d rebook in a heartbeat.
Thanks for a lovely holiday!

Spectacular
The location is spectacular. It has a wonderful view of the bay and the ocean. Home is perfect for multiple guests because of the 4 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms. Lots to do nearby. It’s right down the road from hogshead golf course and a 10 minute drive to Waterville golf course. The owner was a pleasure to work with when I had a few questions.

Heavenly views and wonderful house
We loved our week at Fuschia Lodge. Thank you Caragh for the warm welcome on arrival. The basket of goodies was a nice touch too. The house is just lovely, beautifully appointed with plenty of space inside and out for everyone and very comfortable too (we were a family of 8 - ages 13 to 84). The views are just breathtaking and we enjoyed some gorgeous sunsets. We had a wonderful base for the week to explore this magical party of Kerry. Valentia Island and Derrynane Beach were highlights for us.
From Fuschia Lodge we strolled along the coast most days and even swam from the slip way (1km to left of Fuschia Lodge) into the crystal clear water of Ballinskelligs Bay .. wetsuits optional! bring goggles and enjoy the rich kelp forest on the sea bed. It was a magical holiday. We will be back!

This was our second trip to Fuchsia Lodge. The house is wonderful with every facility and amenity. We particularly enjoyed the expansive living/family space and loved the welcome treats and goodies. Thank you Caragh & team. We're already planning our trip for next year.

Traumhaftes Haus in Irlands Westen
Wir verbrachten zum vierten Mal unsere Ferien in diesem traumhaften Haus. Die Innenausstattung und der Komfort lassen keine Wünsche offen. Die Betreuung und Hilfsbereitschaft von Mary, der Seele des Hauses ,sind einfach nur grossartig. Wir freuen uns auf ein Wiedersehen.

Beautiful and amazing house in a perfect location
It was our second holiday in Fuchsia Lodge and won't the last. The house and the landscape are amazing. This time we spent 2 weeks in the end of winter and it was very stormy and rainy. But the house was pretty warm and you can end up the day in the sauna after some long walks. Everything in the house is well maintained and clean. If you need help or any information you can always ask Mary or Caragh. We will come back.

Great setting in Waterville for a beautiful home
A great property with a beautiful view. The home was very clean and updated. It was spacious and everything worked well. The floor plan was great and included everything you would need. The grounds were terrific and we were able to take long walks.

Lovely holiday home
This is a large, clean, spacious home with lots of windows and beautiful vistas. We were pleasantly surprised to find that there was milk and butter in the fridge and wine, jams and soda bread on the counter when we arrived. The kitchen is well equipped. Waterville is an easy walk from the house where we enjoyed the seascape and pastoral surroundings. Being on the Ring of Kerry allows access to diverse vegetation and views. Day trips to Valentia Island and Killarney National Park were well worth the drive. When we travel, we prefer quiet, scenic places and this location met all our needs. We would highly recommend Fuschia Lodge and the Waterville area. John & Lesley from Ontario, Canada

Tranquil Luxury
I usually wince when I see gushing superlatives used to describe a service or product, but this property deserves all I can throw at it. From the obviously design-led & inspired interior, to the magnificent traditional stone exterior, to the stunning views, this house has it all, in spades. Often in my experience luxury holiday properties flatter to deceive, features that appear charming are often twee, locations often have negative features that are not readily apparent, and often fixtures and fittings are not of the first order. Fuschia is the exception to this rule, the Sea is quite literally a stone's throw away, there is a lovely secluded beach (Never busy) 350m walk, it is situated on a charming quiet back road, but yet only 3 km from the bustling town of Waterville, and the ring of Kerry. Beautiful beaches, gourmet seafood dining in Portmagee, Cahirciveen, Kenmare, wonderful walks, and then to relax on the patio with a glass of wine as the sun sets on the bay in front of you... Bliss!

Perfect Start to a Perfect Vacation
Driving down the narrow lane to the house was a bit sporty (as I am not used to country roads) but then again so are many other roads in rural Ireland. We arrived too late in the evening to appreciate the spectacular view that I found the next day, which was cloudless, breezy, and breathtaking.
The views from the kitchen and living room lookout across the Atlantic and rolling hills. This was my first time in Kerry and certainly not my last visit, especially to the Fuchsia Lodge.
The house was spotless and the appliances were all modern, easy to use, and in working order. Two bottles of wine waiting for us was a very nice touch. The house design takes many influences from the history of the area and incorporates that with modern flair, again a nice touch.
The local area has a lot to offer in terms of tourist activities, sight seeing, golf, etc... The local towns of Waterville and Cahersiveen offer many amenities and the people are warm and friendly. My friends and I went into one of the local pubs and there was the after party of a wedding. Even though we were complete strangers and all spoke with an American accent the lovely people invited us to join them while several broke out into songs. It's incredible that everyone knew the words to at least a half dozen tunes. It certainly was a night to remember.
Our host, the lovely Caragh C. provided us with exact directions and met us in person to give us the keys as she was in the area. We are already planning to book for July or August next year.

Just Stunning
Fuchsia Lodge i a place where you feel at home on the moment you enter the beautiful house: Nice bathrooms, a huge sauna, a kitchen with all the equipment you need, comfortable beds, a quiet place as the library is and a a very great living room with stunning views. What a gem. And not only the house is a gem, also the beach (a little more than 100 steps from the house), the Skellig Bay Golf Course (at the end of the street), the hiking path (the Kerry Way is everywhere yoy go and has tracks that takes your breath away) en the beautiful village Waterville ( a couple of minutes with the car). And last but not least the very friendly and helpfull housekeeper Mary. This house is 'a must do' if you want to stay in Kerry and/or Waterville.

Our Perfect Home Away from Home!
I searched long and hard for a place to stay in Ireland and I kept being drawn to this place. Caragh Curran and Mary Fenton were so easy to work with! In fact, I am embarrassed it took me so long to write this review. My husband, our two sons and their girl friends (all in their early 20s) traveled from Texas, spent a few days in London, and then stayed at Fuchsia Lodge for 6 nights. I cannot even tell you what a perfect place this was for our family-the pictures do not do it justice. It was very spacious, clean, well kept, provided every thing we needed plus many extras. We enjoyed cooking several meals at home and the area info provided to us was useful too. I already recommended this home to friends and I would even stay there if we did not have a large party. It was just amazing in every way. I felt like we had an authentic Irish experience and after staying here, I must admit that Dublin was a bit disappointing - I could have spent a few more days in Waterville at the Fuchsia Lodge! This was a great base from which to explore the area. We had good times at the Lobster Bar too :) Thank you Caragh and Mary for your hospitality and for sharing this beautiful home with our family. We will be back! Much love, The Harris Family from Spring, Texas

Great Vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Waterville. It was my mom's 70th birthday trip and totally lived up to our expectations. We had guests at at the house from 8 to 70! The scenery from the house was breathtaking and there were great opportunities to fish, hike and golf close by. If you are interested in fishing, definitely stop by the tackle shop in town as they can provide you with guide and alternatives with regard to ocean, stream and lake fishing. We had a great time in streams, Lake Currane and shore fishing.
The hiking in the area is outstanding and I would clearly recommend a trip to Bray Head.
For golfers, playing Waterville Golf Links is a great experience. I have played many other courses in Ireland and elsewhere but Waterville remains one of my all time favorites. It is a great course and great experience. Go to Smugglers for dinner and enjoy a tremendous view off the the patio at Caragh's house at sunset.
