Lakeland House

I stayed in a B&B room opposite the camping and reception. It's delightfully situated off any noisy rods, yet only a kilometer or two from the village. Jerry and Margaret were like old friends. Breakfast was included in my reservation and I went only for that reason, because the last several B&Bs I've been to were so quiet and isolating over breakfast. But there was a proper Irish welcome at this one. Anybody was welcome to keep their own company, but the room livened up with laughter and sharing of stories and I thought my heart would burst with joy. My room was spacious and had a wonderful summer-at-the-lake feeling about it that evoked childhood memories of a river where we had a cabin getaway in northern Michigan. There were pictures and memorabilia everywhere from The Quiet Man film. I almost missed breakfast because I was rolling around in ecstasy on the most comfortable mattress I've had in two months traveling around Ireland and I didn't want to get out of bed. Yum! I loved that the shower had plenty of variability in pressure and plenty of hot water! My shower late at night makes or breaks my night of sleep. PS, despite appearances otherwise, Jerry is really a leprechaun. WHO could possibly resist his smile?! This is my first time to Ireland, for a fabulous two and a half months. I will definitely be back to Lakeland House! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!

Price for a family room was cheap, but it is not family friendly. Kitchen are self cating but access was at times not available as place was full of young students. Students beeing loud at 12 a clock at night to recpect for other people Around. Spoken to owner, he had a rude attitude towards. No clear rules places in the facilities. Online is advertised as family room and family frienly place but in reality not a single day was felt like that. More like student dorms with rude students doing all they want.
