We were captivated by the beauty and the setting of the hotel. If you are looking for a peaceful and relaxing holiday with the chance to do lots of walking then this hotel is ideal. The owners are extremely friendly and made our stay most enjoyable. The food was excellent and reasonably priced.
This hotel is situated in a most beautiful and peaceful spot on Gougane Barra Lake. You can row on the lake and walk in the nearby forest. The hotel itself has a lovely old fashioned feel about it and the dining room has a panoramic view of the lake. Neil, who was in charge during our stay is very friendly and welcoming. If you like peace and quiet and beautiful surroundings this hotel is the place to stay.
Wonderful location, excellent restaurant.
