Best nights sleep in a great big, comfy double bed. What a beautiful place. The views were out of this world and the restaurant, Daft Eddies, was a stroll down the lane for some lovely fish. The location was perfect for getting out on the Lough. Annoyed I didn’t bring the paddle board, access to the water is right on the doorstep however will be back and will bring it next time. Thank you for your hospitality Stephanie. ##### Helen S.
