Reviews and Ratings
Waking up to a nice view and enjoying a big jacuzzi in the room were fantastic perks of this hotel. The beds were really comfortable, but the dining experience in the restaurant didn't quite match up in terms of value for money.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel with its comfortable rooms offering a beautiful view but missing out on breakfast. The service, especially by the young but enthusiastic team, was commendable. The location by the shores of Lough Ree was picturesque, however, the inability to benefit from local discount vouchers was a letdown. Dining with breathtaking views was delightful, although some food items were running out. Overall, a pleasant experience with minor drawbacks.

The service provided by the young staff, though they tried their best, was a bit lacking due to slow food service at times. The location by the serene shores of Lough Ree was lovely, but the inability to use discount vouchers for local attractions was disappointing. Dining options were pleasant with lovely views, and overall, the hotel facilities were adequate.

The dining experience, while with lovely views, could improve in terms of food availability. Overall, a gem by the shores of Lough Ree with great service.
