College Clubs and Societies
The Experience
Our college group weekends give societies and clubs the chance to take over The BigStyle Lodge in Killadoon for an unforgettable and incredibly good-value trip to the west coast.
Your group gets the lodge as a base for the weekend, including access to our large communal kitchen and dining areas, perfect for cooking big group meals and hanging out together after a day of adventures. You’ll also have surfboards and wetsuits available to use, plus a Big Dipper sauna, hot tub and plunge pool session included in the price.
Located between the mountains and the Atlantic, the lodge sits beside some of Mayo’s most beautiful beaches and hiking trails, with P Dan’s Pub just across the courtyard for evening pints and craic.
For college societies looking for an affordable group getaway with loads of space, incredible scenery, and plenty to do, it’s an unreal deal.
