    “We were looking for a quiet, comfortable break.”

    We knew what the weather would be like in Ireland in March so it was important that the cottage didn’t disappoint. It didn’t. The interior was spotless, thoughtfully designed in a ‘cottage’ style and complete with everything you need to relax with no niggling problems. The furniture is of a high standard and we were warm and cosy throughout our stay. On top of this the setting is hauntingly beautiful and the owner provided first class customer service. 100%

Allow the chef of the group to get cooking in the kitchen/diner, equipped with all the necessities for a short break, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and even a washing machine, so you won’t have to pack your whole wardrobe.

Sit down for a hearty meal at the dining table, toasting to a quaint Irish getaway as you pop open a bottle of fizz, before retiring the lounge where the TV and woodburning stove calls for a relaxing evening.

The two bedrooms both with neutral furnishings and soft fabrics consists of one double bed with ample fitted wardrobe space, and one small 4ft double bed with a locker.

If you are lucky with the weather, step outside and enjoy a drink on the front porch or take a drink down to the green area and relax as you marvel at the lakeside views.

Five miles away lies the Irish town of Boyle, famous for its annual arts festival which runs for a week in July, while there is also a host of shops, pubs and restaurants to try.

Boyle is also home to the old Boyle Abbey, a 12th century monastery built by the Cistercian order, as well as King House, which was once the home to the King family who amassed tens of thousands of acres of land.

Explore the beauty of the local area by foot, with plenty of scenic spots to enjoy a picnic amidst the company of your loved ones, while a short drive away is the county town of Carrick-on-Shannon, steeped in history with many Irish landmarks including the unusual Costello Chapel, which is believed to be the smallest chapel in Europe.

Those seeking activity can go to the Lough Key Forest and Activity Park, where you can experience the zip-lines in the sky, ride segways, take on a woodland safari and much more.

Lakeside Cottage is a wonderful retreat to this exciting part of Ireland.
