Motel by the lake
Lovely newly renovated motel like standard because room size is a little tight but excellent views of the lake. Self check in and out went fine. Would definitely stay here again. The restaurant had a great dinner menu

As the property’s name suggests, it is in a beautiful location right on the shores of the lough. This is not a hotel, however, and shouldn’t be advertised as such. It is a restaurant with some adjoining accommodation to the rear of it. The accommodation has a completely separate entrance and has virtually nothing to do with the restaurant. There are none of the usual facilities associated with a hotel. No reception, no lobby, no breakfast available, and no proper bar etc. In fact, even the restaurant was closed most of the time we were there! It’s also a good 15 min walk to the nearby village along a narrow road with no pavement for part of the way. I know it’s February, but this was literally like staying in an abandoned building. It’s such a shame because it’s actually quite nice. The restaurant part of it is a lovely building with spectacular views over the lough. They could make so much more of it, though. The rooms were clean but a bit compact and bijou. On the upside, most of the rooms benefit from the views, too! Maybe it’s a lot better during the holiday season. 💁‍♂️

Excellent stay
Absolutely gorgeous setting, we had The Fahan Room and it was just right beside the water. The view was amazing, lovely large window to make the most of the view. Comfy bed and very clean. The bathroom was a little tired but fully functional. It was excellent value for money. Can’t wait to return.
