I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The cleanliness of the hotel was top-notch, with rooms that were comfortable, pleasant, and clean. The hotel facilities, including the conservatory area for breakfast and the leisure center with a warm pool, were well-maintained and enjoyable to use. The location on the shores of a beautiful lake added to the overall charm of the hotel. The breakfast buffet was delicious, with a variety of options and extra touches like smoothies. The staff were exceptional, providing a 5-star service from the bar staff to the reception team. They were friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to ensure a wonderful stay. The hotel's proximity to the airport, with convenient transportation options, was an added bonus.

We had a fantastic stay! The staff were exceptional, providing top-notch service in the main restaurant and making us feel like VIPs. The restaurant is great for both couples and families, and the staff went above and beyond to take care of us. The reception was very welcoming, and we were even upgraded to a retreat room with a beautiful view of the golf course and lake. The spacious and quiet room had everything we needed, and the bar food was delicious. We also enjoyed the excellent leisure facilities and found a lovely exhibition of oil paintings in the hotel.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location on the shores of Lough Ree was absolutely beautiful. The hotel facilities were top-notch, especially the hydrotherapy pool. Our deluxe retreat room had a great view to wake up to, and the large comfortable bed ensured a great night's sleep. The breakfast in the morning was very enjoyable, and the staff were all friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We also loved how close the hotel was to the lake, perfect for water sports in the summer. We can't wait to come back in June!
