Wonderful property. Lots of beautiful landscape and of course the lake. The mountains around the lake were stunning. The room was comfortable and beautiful. No A/C, but thats normal for Ireland, however a large fan was provided. We stayed only tge night, but will return for a much longer stay. Highly recommend this property if you are looking for somewhere quiet and beautiful.
