Look I traveled across the world to 39 capitals, promoting the Art , Science and Service of Reflexology! I have stayed in great hotels in different countries. The Lake Hotel in Ireland for me based on my over all travel experience is one of the top 5 best classical hotels in the world! The ambiance, the excellent service, the food, the classical décor, and its location makes you feel like royalty! In addition the staff is great and the beauty of this magical part of Ireland is totally breath taking!
