Pros:

Fabulous outdoor pool, walk and playground

Cons:

Our shower was only lukewarm- for the price of the hotel and it's standard I feel it should have been better.
Food options in the bar are only ok.
Breakfast is good very tasty but small portions

Really enjoyable stay in a relaxed atmosphere in a beautiful location. The gorgeous sunny weather really made it.
Pros:

Gorgeous location & fabulous views. Food was delicious. Steaks in Bonnies were so tasty. Outdoor heated poor & outdoor hot tub were amazing. Staff very friendly.

Cons:

The €100 deposit on check in was unnecessary I felt especially when we had fully paid for our accommodation before arrival with full payment being taken ahead of schedule.
I had requested a double & a single bed room & received confirmation that my request was granted but just one doubt in the room. Room was lovely and it was no big deal really.
€50 to use outdoor hot tub.
Tom’s bar menu had very limited choice.

Pros:

I recently stayed at Glasson Lakehouse, and genuinely, almost everything about the experience was fabulous. The setting is stunning, the staff are warm and professional, and the whole place has that relaxed, respectful atmosphere that makes you feel looked after from the moment you arrive. The rooms, the food, the views — all absolutely top‑class.

Cons:

There was one thing that really took away from the experience: the €100 security charge at check‑in. For a hotel of this standard, where everything feels so well‑run and respectful, the charge felt unnecessary and out of place. It’s not that the money is lost you get it back but it creates a tone that doesn’t match the rest of the stay. To be honest, it would put me off returning, and it would definitely put me off gifting someone a weekend away there. When you’re treating someone to a special stay, the last thing you want is them being hit with an unexpected €100 charge at the desk.It’s a fabulous hotel, but this policy really lets it down. If it were removed, I’d happily recommend Glasson Lakehouse to anyone

Pros:

This hotel is just beautiful, it is so different and interesting. We were upgraded to a Lake View room which was spectacular, the added touch of a record play and records was a wonderful surprise. We will definitely be back again.

Cons:

The pillows could have been better.
