A closer look

A place with character.

Trudder Lodge takes no more than fifteen weddings a year and never more than one a week, which is an unusual promise and shapes everything about how the place runs. The house is Palladian with ten acres of mature woodland gardens around it.

The season runs April to October. Newcastle is on the coast side of Wicklow, 40 minutes from Dublin, close to Greystones and the beach.
