Irota EcoLodge — Hotel in Edelényi járás

We had a very relaxing and calming stay here.

We stayed in the Upper House – which was absolutely lovely. There is lots of space inside, with a large living area, dining table and kitchen. Everything we needed was there.

The patio area is larger for this house, and the garden slightly smaller (but still a good size). To be honest, all the houses looked lovely, and you have privacy between all the houses – all the patios are hidden from the other houses. The pool is shared between the three houses, is a good size and naturally maintained, and was a lovely way to cool down.

From our patio you couldn't see another building - just the hills and countryside!

The village itself, is small and is in a very quiet location, the only noises you hear are the birds and assorted wildlife. There are several towns nearby (driving distance), and the main option for food is about 20 kms away. You will need a car to get around, and to explore the surrounding area.

We arranged to have a food hamper available for when we arrived, which covered breakfast and lunches for our stay. We also had a couple of meals provided by one the ladies from the village, which were lovely and plentiful!

Jeroen and Lennard were excellent hosts – always happy to help with anything and keen to make sure our stay was the best it could be.

We stayed for 6 nights, went on a Tokaj wine tour, had a trip into Slovakia, did one of the walks around the local area and relaxed at the lodge for a couple of days. By the end of our stay, we ended up feeling that there still several places we wanted to visit – another time no doubt.

We had a great time, and...

What a fantastic property to stay at. Located in extremely rural Northern Hungary, there are 3 properties (built and running self sustainably). Each the same size but each with a unique decor (modern, retro and Hungarian). Everything on the property was spotless, well thought out and positioned. We rented all three houses with three families and it worked out perfectly. Hosts were very easy to communcate with prior to our stay as well as checking in and during our visit. The surrounding countryside is stunningly gorgeous. It was late October so we were unable to use the pool but plan to re-visit when it is warmer so we can enjoy that as well.||||Perfect place for families or groups. Bring all the food and drink for your stay as the nearest stores are quite far - and to be honest once you get there you will not want to leave the property unless it is to explore the forests and farmlands surrounding it.||||We had a local cook prepare our first meal upon arrival (all coordinated with the hosts) and not only was it delicious it took us 3 days to finish it all, very plentiful.||||Cannot recommend a stay here highly enough. A rare gem in...

Jeroen en Lennard have built a small paradise in Irota. We stayed at the upper house for a few days. The house was light and spacious and has more than enough room for six people. The owners have thought of everything, from kitchen appliances to comfy chairs to relax outside, to screened doors and windows to keep any bugs out. The beds and - very important to me - shower are great. The outside space is fantastic. There's a barbecue and a traditional Hungarian cooking stove outside, which more than makes up for the lack of restaurants nearby. You can just take your time preparing a home-cooked meal. There is enough space around the house and at any time of the day you can find either a spot in the sun or in the shade. The pool is nice and clean and again the owners have made sure you're comfortable with good pool-side chairs and a shower. Jeroen and Lennard made us feel very welcome, they even invited us to the local village fest and we had a great evening there. They gave us plenty of tips to explore the surroundings and helped us make reservations when needed. What Jeroen and Lennard built here is very impressive. We highly...
