Situated close to the Shannon Airport, a great stopping location for any early flights. The rooms were spacious, clean and well appointed, very comfortable beds. The views available from the sunroom were fantastic. Joan was a fantastic hostess and I would definitely recommend staying here.

Lakeside was recommended to us by friends who had stayed there on their trip to Ireland. We stayed with Joan for a total of 6 nights during our 21 days, 2 on arrival to decompress, 2 mid trip to further explore the Limerick area, and 2 prior to our departure. By the time we left we felt that we were... More

We arrived at this B&B directly from our overnight flight into Shannon about 6AM in the morning and not wanting to awaken anyone, we caught up on our night's sleep in the parking lot. The owner was able to get our room ready early. We spent our first two nights in Ireland at this facility. The house was clean, comfortable,... More

This place is wonderful and our family truly loved staying here. The four horses, the fantastic view of the lake, the lovely gardens, and the amazing sunroom with it's comfy furnishings and fabulous views all combined to make this a most enjoyable visit. Joan is a lovely hostess, and we highly recommend staying at Lakeside.

We stayed at Lakeside in Ennis as a hub to visit the cliffs of Moher and the Burren. We loved the sheep and horses on the grounds. There is a lovely conservatory and garden to sit and look at the beautiful view of the lake and abbey. You can also walk to the abbey and have a look around. The... More

Lakeside Lodge has a beautiful setting with a large garden and friendly Connemara ponies. There is a view across the lake to 13th Century abbey ruins, well worth exploring. A bit tough to find, but worth getting off the beaten track, even if you have an early flight.

We stayed here out first night arriving in ireland. It was close to the airport which was nice after a long flight. The owners were very friendly and helpful and we had a good sized room with a beautiful view of the lake and horse pasture. If I remember correctly this room did not have a TV but that was... More

The scenery is as good as it gets. I couldn't stop taking pictures of the horse with the abbey in the background. Very friendly service and good hot breakfast. The room was large but the beds are pretty hard. If I wanted a retreat to the country I would definitely come back!

Hostess is crabby and tired. Not interested in us at all. Beds and pillows were hard, no tv even in family room. Close to Shannon airport and 50 minutes to the cliffs of moher. Beautiful setting on lake with view of abbey ruins.

The view of Killone Lough and Abbey ruins across pastureland is stunning and the large bay window sitting area lets you dream away. We would definitely stay here again. It is very convenient to Shannon airport. We found Joan to be very helpful in suggesting places to eat and things to see in the area. Free internet is available, but... More
