Exactly what we needed!
Pros:

EVERYTHING! Best Service we've every had - and we've traveled a lot! The bed was so comfortable! Loved the gardens and birds that sang every morning. They have great hiking trails all around the lake and easy access to many points of interest. The food was wonderful. We enjoyed dinner several nights, breakfast every morning and lunch once. This is our second time traveling to Ireland and both agree that the Irish are the friendliest people in the world.

Cons:

That we didn't stay longer.

Guter Standard
Pros:

Abendessen im Restaurant. Betreuung durch Genute&Johny.
Die Zimmer sind komfortabel.

Cons:

Die Lage- nicht direkt am See. Keine Möglichkeit längere Spaziergänge am Gelände zu machen.
Die Eier-Koch Station ist im Frühstückstraum ohne Abzug!!? Der ganze Raum stinkt.
