After 25 years of dedication and hard work, BrookLodge & Macreddin Village, one of Ireland’s most beloved and unique resorts, is to be sold. The resort, which has grown from a greenfield site into a thriving destination, was guided and developed by three brothers—Bernard, Eoin & Evan Doyle—who have successfully established it as a hallmark of Irish hospitality.

Founded in December 1999, BrookLodge & Macreddin Village was a vision brought to life by the brothers. Their passion and commitment transformed a blank canvas into a vibrant village, celebrated for its eco-friendly ethos, organic food offerings, and luxury accommodations. Over the years, the resort has become a haven for visitors seeking tranquillity, wellness, and an authentic Irish experience.

The decision to sell the resort marks the end of an era but also the beginning of a new chapter. The brothers have decided to pass the torch to a new generation of custodians who will continue to nurture and grow the village. As they look to the future the Doyle brothers are eager to focus on other projects, with Evan expressing a particular desire to continue with projects around his lifelong passion for promoting sustainable Irish food.

“We are immensely proud of everything we've accomplished with BrookLodge & Macreddin Village over the past 25 years,” shared Evan Doyle, one of the founding brothers & Managing Director. “This has truly been a labour of love, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey. As we pass the torch to the new owners, we look forward to seeing how they will build on what we've created. I've also been fortunate to work with an incredible team, many of whom have been with us since the beginning, and I trust them completely with the day-to-day running of the hotel. For the last number of years I have been involved in numerous food projects and travelled extensively, and the business has continued to thrive in my absence. So now, it’s time for a new chapter—for both the new owners and for me, as I look to add a few more paragraphs to the next chapter of Irelands fabulous Food Story!”

BrookLodge & Macreddin Village has long been synonymous with relaxation, rejuvenation, and exceptional service. The brothers are confident that the new owners will maintain the high standards they have set and continue to offer guests the unique experiences that have made the village a cherished destination.

As the brothers move on to their next ventures, they leave behind a legacy of innovation and excellence that has set a benchmark in the hospitality industry. The sale represents not just a change of ownership, but the continuation of a dream that started 25 years ago.
