Main House

The Main House bar at Finn Lough wasn't always a place for handcrafted cocktails. It began as a bustling hub in the heart of "Lakeland Lodges," a family venture. Built by my father in 1993, the middle floor teemed with activity – a conference room, office, shop, and reception all buzzing with guests. Back then, the bar area was a dedicated space for activities.

Fast forward to 2018, and with a desire to create lasting memories inspired by our travels, the space took a dramatic turn. We worked closely with the Finn Lough design team to completely reimagine the Main House. We wanted to create a space that resonated with the spirit of Finn Lough itself – a place where stories are shared and memories are made.

Out went the old activity room, and in came a vibrant bar – a place for guests to unwind and connect. It became the social center of the Main House, a natural extension of the cozy library with its crackling fireplace and inviting armchairs. It wasn't just about the bar though. We reimagined the entire space. A vintage cinema room now whisks guests back to a bygone era, and a sleek restaurant with a brand-new extension offers a fresh take on dining. Upstairs, three luxurious Sky Suites provide a tranquil escape.

The Main House bar is more than just a place to grab a drink. It's the culmination of a vision, a physical embodiment of Finn Lough's philosophy – where heritage meets innovation, and every corner whispers stories waiting to be told.
