Area information

Aghadoe has long been regarded as a special, spiritual place. The Paps Mountains, visible from the hotel, were called ‘Dhá Chíoch Danu’ in Gaelic, which means ‘the two breasts of Danu’. This was the name of the Celtic female goddess, who was regarded as the mother of the gods. The first inhabitants of Ireland, the ‘Tuatha Dé Danann’, were named after her.

The woods, mountains and lakes were loaded with magical and mysterious significance. They represented messages of life and fertility, with the Paps’ two breast-shaped hills interpreted as symbols of female power.

The first known Christian settlement was established at Aghadoe in the 5th centur. Two centuries later, St Finian is thought to have created a monastic centre at Aghadoe and on Innisfallen Island below, which were linked by a causeway.

Aghadoe overlooks Lough Lein, which was called the ‘lake of learning’ because it was a major educational centre attracting pupils from all over Europe between 900 and 1000AD. Lough Lein and the surrounding area plays a pivotal role in Irish mythology; in one of its greatest stories, Oisín and Niamh ‘went west’ from Lough Lein over the mountains to Tír na N-og, ‘the land of eternal youth’.

During your stay you can also enjoy a leisurely walk in the National Park or spend an afternoon fishing.
