10/10 Exceptional

Just got back from a 9 night stay in Ireland. We rented a car and drove to a new hotel every night. Lough Eske was the all around favorite for us! Beautiful setting, wonderful room, excellent food and incredible staff. Johnny I think his name was at the dining hall was so witty and kind! Our next trip to Ireland we will be coming back here for more than just one night. Highly recommended.

Service staff was excellent. F&B was great from the bar to the restaurant. Grounds are beautiful. Only detractor is the lack of air conditioning for the hot summer nights. Will stay again.
