Shanafaraghaun Holidays from £419

I was there for only one night-- wanted to visit King John's Castle (great destination and excellent exhibits) on my way back to the US. But the hotel is well located, well taken care of, with attentive and friendly staff. I'd definitely stay there again.

We stayed at The Lakeside Hotel & Leisure Centre for one night after arriving in Ireland, and it was a perfect start to our trip. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the property itself is beautiful. It's set on lovely, quiet grounds with a fantastic view of the River Shannon from our room. The bed was very comfortable, and we appreciated the peace and quiet after a long travel day. The nearby town is charming and just a short walk away, which made for a nice evening stroll. The hotel was quite busy due to the bank holiday, but it still felt relaxed and well managed overall. Dinner was enjoyable, though our table could have been a bit tidier, with a few crumbs on top and bits underneath. That said, breakfast the next morning made up for it. The manager went out of his way to accommodate us even though we arrived late. He was a real standout — friendly, efficient, and helpful. One small note: the Guinness pouring could use a little fine tuning. Only one of the three we ordered was poured properly, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience. We would happily stay again and recommend The Lakeside Hotel to anyone looking for a scenic, restful stop in a lovely part of Ireland.

I was extremely grateful for the service given to me at the hotel. I most appreciated the resteraunt for helping me put together a catering order for up to 11 people. The food was delicious and enjoyed by all. A big shout out to receptionists who made our accommodations so comfortable.

We enjoyed our brief stay. We were able to rest and it was close to popular attractions. It had a nice, free breakfast.

We stayed in the suites for a hen party. The rooms were so spacious and really comfortable. The staff were so accommodating and friendly. They went above and beyond for us and made the weekend so easy for us. Would definitely recommend!

The hotel remains 'work in progress'. A busy hotel, the public walkway evidence this. Rooms claimed soecial need special love, rooms are unloved. The steam-room is tiny, however, with the other facilities working there is compensation. Both Blu entitled hotels seen need investment. The staff are great.
