Coomhola Lodge

Originally known as Sans Souci (Without Cares, as per Frederick the Great's summer palace), it had been built by the White family as a hunting lodge, with a focus on fishing perhaps, as it's close to the Coomhola river (and tributary Borlin), with excellent fishing for salmon and sea trout.
