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.
My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable with a lovely view, but the absence of breakfast and some chipped furnishings were a downside. 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 hotel is located in a very nice area right beside the lake, offering a serene atmosphere for a relaxing stay. The rooms have a nice view and good lighting for working, although the decor feels a little tired. The service was top-notch, accommodating every request, with particular praise for the bar staff. 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.
