A garden to enjoy

Four seasons in one day

You know what they say about the weather in Ireland? If you don’t like it, just give it five minutes!  It’s true, the weather here can be quite unpredictable, and we’ve seen some dramatic shifts over the past year. Luckily our guests know when their booking their accommodation in Ireland to come prepared with sunblock and raincoats! And during our two years here we’ve started to create a garden to enjoy, whatever the weather!

Gardening here has become a race against the elements. Quick dashes to weed between showers or struggling to find the right time to plant new seedlings when the sun is splitting the sky. It’s all good fun and the results are worth it, even for this novice! I just love having flowers in the garden. They put a spring in my step and give me a garden to enjoy!

Introducing the Geodome

At Rossclare Lodge, we’re always looking for ways to enhance our guests’ experience. Many of our guests comment on the flowers in the garden, and it’s great if you can actually enjoy them. That’s where our Geodome comes in! This unique structure, made with hexagonal polycarbonate panels, offers a 360-degree view of the garden come rain or shine. It took an entire day to put it together and we didn’t file for divorce. Now it’s the perfect spot to watch the sunset, stargaze in comfort or sip a glass of something delicious.

Picture yourself relaxing on the cosy sofa, gazing up at the twinkling constellations through the clear roof. Located in a dark skies area, far from the light pollution of Enniskillen, our dome offers great stargazing opportunities. And on cloudy nights our solar powered twinkly lights add a romantic touch to the evening. This truly is a garden to enjoy at any time of the day .

Room for a crowd

The Geodome comfortably seats six and includes a low table, making it ideal for our sharing platters in the evenings or afternoon teas. Since completing it our guests have enjoyed quiet evenings with their byo wine, or tea and cookies, or lively conversations with fellow visitors. The dome’s excellent soundproofing ensures there’s no disturbance to the main house too, so whilst you enjoy the garden, everyone else can enjoy the peace and quiet.

We’re confident you’ll love the Geodome as much as we do. Take in the stunning views of the flowers in the garden, the cows on the hill, the robin bossing all the other birds and watch Basil the dog having zoomies through the flower beds.. And don’t worry about the rain—we’ve got a big umbrella in the hall, so we’ve got you covered as you make your way to the dome in a shower!

Join us at Rossclare Lodge where we’ve worked hard to create a garden to enjoy come rain or shine, light or dark. Make the most of your stay with our fantastic Geodome garden experience! Come see the flowers, the butterflies and the bees or maybe the moon and stars.
