Set within 100 acres of woodland and gardens in County Cavan, Virginia Park Lodge is an elegant 18th-century Irish estate reimagined by chef-patron Richard Corrigan. Alongside its historic country house and cottages, the estate offers a collection of handcrafted shepherd huts nestled in Deerpark Forest. Built by Blackdown Shepherd Huts, these beautifully designed retreats provide a cosy and secluded escape in nature while remaining close to the lodge’s renowned dining and gardens.

Each hut is thoughtfully equipped with a wood burner, kitchenette, shower room and double bed, creating a comfortable woodland hideaway for couples looking to slow down and enjoy the peaceful Irish countryside.
