29/04/2026: We had the most incredible stay at the Lakeside Hotel in Co. Clare — from start to finish, everything was just perfect ✨ The setting is absolutely stunning, with beautiful views that make it the ideal escape. The food was gorgeous — every meal felt like a treat — and the atmosphere throughout the hotel was so relaxing and welcoming. What really made our stay special, though, was the staff. Everyone went above and beyond, but a special mention has to go to Rong Rong at reception, who truly looked after us and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived, ye are so lucky to have her to meet and greet your guests And Sean at breakfast kept everything running so smoothly — the buffet was fantastic and the service was spot on. It’s the little touches and genuine kindness that make a place unforgettable, and this hotel has it in abundance. Already looking forward to coming back 💛 Keep us posted on special offers as we really love it.. Edel Morrison & Margaret Coffey Cobh

29/04/2026: waited a good 10 minutes to be seated , it was busy but not over busy , staff walked past ourselves and another couple and dissappeared into the bar . when we were seated and given a menu the choices offered were not to our taste or palatte , a lot of the dishes were served in spicey piri piri or other ' asian theamed' sauces ,all very nice if you are in india or sri lanka but this is IRELAND and there was a lack of TRADITIONAL IRISH FOOD on offer ! a lot of the offerings here are exactly the same or very very similar to a lot of OTHER establishments in ireland these days which in my experiance points toward dishes being ' bought in pre prepared' rather than made on the premisis . in the end after veiwing the menu and waiting to be served we decided to go elsewhere and left .

24/04/2026: Good food , lovely location right on the river bank.
