The Swan bar in Carrick-on-shannon

02/11/2025: Great stay, lovely hotel, very quiet, the rooms are beautiful, breakfast is reasonably priced, a very good place to stay in Carrick-on-Shannon

31/10/2025: Reception desk staff were very helpful and informative, seeing as I was an evening arrival 8pm or later, I met with possibly a night porter, but the young Irish gentleman was efficient at checking me into my room in what seemed like under 1 minute, possibly one of the fastest check-ins I've experienced. The late night porters had their hands full when we all arrived back after all bars and clubs had closed..and were still very friendly even thought there were groups of drunk non-residents arguing at the doors trying to gain entry to the hotel. Thought of giving a 4 star review, because I rang reception desk a few hours previous to my check out time, on a quite Sunday morning, badly in need of a later checkout time, but was told was not possible due to housekeeping schedules, and the breakfast was basic enough, luke warm everything, arrived within 20 seconds of ordering from a bain Marie, one piece of everything, but to be fair.. I couldn't taste it anyway, the shots and varied drinks the night before had scared my taste buds into hiding. Treat the staff here respectfully and they'll go the extra mile for you, and they work hard at weekends because it's a party town, so don't make their more difficult than it needs to be. Would return here no questions asked
