Adequate for one night stay but probably wouldn’t return.
Pros:

The location was great. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was okay.

Cons:

The room was small and the bathroom could do with an update. TV was tiny. Room 3 was on a busy corridor so noisy.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay in Connemara lake hotel and highly recommend it.
Pros:

The family room is spacious and clean, and the air conditioning is a big plus, especially with the summer temperatures reaching almost 28°C. Not all hotels in Ireland have air conditioning, so we really appreciated having it.

Cons:

The only minor issue was the double bed, which made noise whenever we moved. Other than that, everything was okay.

Pros:

Room was clean and beds comfy. Shower clean and specious... Breakfast not much choice, but everyone can find sth they like. Staff nice and polite...

Cons:

We booked room for family of 4 but in the shower only one bath towel was provided. Also coffee and tea as well as milk and sugar provided in the room - not enough for 4 ppl....
