    The lake view from our room was stunning, and the chef's fish special was the highlight of my stay. The warm welcome from the staff made us feel right at home.

    excellent food
    pristine nature
    outdated room

    great food but could improve room amenities

    The food was excellent. The cooking showcased local ingredients and flavors that were delightful. The location near pristine nature provided serene moments that enhanced my stay. Waking up to lake views made for an unforgettable morning experience that set a lovely tone for the day.

    The room felt a bit outdated compared to the beautiful surroundings.

    amazing lake views
    unique local decor

    We stayed for 2 nights in a cozy Single Room with amazing lake views. The charming decor combined with unique local wildflower touches made it feel special. The very nice fresh fish dish at dinner was lovely, and the peaceful atmosphere allowed us to unwind.

    beautiful setting
    delicious dinner

    This place is a commendable fit for a short layover in Ballingeary with great value-to-price ratio. The beautiful setting by the lake took my breath away when I woke up in the morning. Don't miss the delicious dinner prepared by the staff.

    soul-soothing views
    wonderful food

    Solo traveler seeking peace

    I stayed here for 2 nights in a Lake View Double Room, and let me tell you, the views of the lake and the church were soul-soothing. The food in the restaurant was wonderful too, especially loved the fresh fish dish they served, it hit just right.

    It wasn't exactly inexpensive, but honestly, the experience made it worth it.
