Salterbridge Gatelodge, located in the glorious Blackwater valley, dates from the mid 19th Century.
Salterbridge Gatelodge is a beautifully restored classical gate lodge that was built c1849.
The Lodge is just a short distance from both Lismore and Cappoquin. A fifteen-minute drive gets you to Dungarvan with its many restaurants and the Deise Greenway.
The surrounding countryside is beautiful, the Lodge has a cosy, comfortable vibe and it is tastefully furnished and well-equipped. Some people have described it as one of the best hideaway retreats in the Southeast.
Salterbridge is a classically proportioned pavilion gatelodge, which was built c.1849 by the Chearnly family, who owned the estate from the mid 18th Century until the 1950s. The lodge, though obviously in habitation in the 1930s when the Glanville family lived there, was derelict by the 1950s. Its function, like all gatelodges, was to indicate to the passer-by the good standing and taste of the original owner, and to display some of the features of the architect's work, re-interpreted from the big house.
