Lough Mardal Eco Lodge
Ballintra, County Donegal, Ulster
Skydome yurts and shepherd's huts on the shore of a Donegal lake, lit by lantern and candle.
Why we love it
The yurts here are properly off-grid — no switch on the wall, just lanterns and candles — which changes an evening more than any amount of design does. They sit on the shore of Lough Mardal, near Ballintra in south Donegal, alongside shepherd's huts and a main lodge for anyone who wants a plug socket after all.
Open all year, which in Donegal means you can take the winter version: short days, long weather, and a lake with nobody on it.
Best for: a night with no electric light in it
