The cottage was lovely, spacious, clean and welcoming. The grounds were truely beautiful, private, secluded areas with its own private, sheltered harbour. We swam in the lake every day. Thoughtful touches - tea, coffee, milk and cake (delicious) upon our arrival. Plentiful bedding for all the comfortable beds including the cot. The facilities were great, dishwasher, washing machine ( a bonus with our 2 year old grandson) and even a tumble drier! We will be back!
Debbie
We had a wonderful break!
Peter
It's a very welcoming and comfortable cottage with all the facilities we needed in an idyllic setting just back from the edge of Lough Derg. An ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, but with the lively Larkins bar just down the road and a handy shop within easy driving distance in Portroe.
