A lovely spot overlooking the river. Our room was spacious with a gorgeous bathtub and a very comfortable bed. We walked into town and had a very good dinner at the hotel. The customer service at the front desk was excellent. We would gladly return!

The exceptional training of your staff made them stand out as very helpful, anticipating customer needs. I saw it demonstrated with many of the customers during just one night’s stay. The full breakfast and Leisure center facilities made this a memorable stay. We wished we had more time to enjoy your hospitality.

The lakeside rooms are stunning, very luxurious and very clean. Very short walk from the hotel. All staff were very helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was very good. You can walk to the two small towns for a coffee or food. Did see much else. Nice small marina (Killaloe) around the corner too.
