    Elite experience, will DEFINITELY return

    • Deluxe Suite
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The hot tub price was 40 euro for an hours use which I thought was a little bit steep, it was 20 euro up until recently, but to be honest ill still do it again the next time i go so it is still a worth while experience! We took the latest slot for breakfast (10.30am) and on both days all of the pastries were gone so if i had to make any slight note it would be for the pastries to be replenished so that those coming at 10.30 get the same experience as those who came earlier but again, a very minor issue breakfast was delicious.

    Glasson Lakehouse was exquisite from the moment we arrived. The decor, the smells, the dog friendly vibe, the views, the restaurant, the outdoor heated pool/hot tub, the activities, literally everything exceeded our expectations. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was our anniversary and they had left a special treat and note in the room for our arrival. Our suite was exquisite and so large with a stand alone copper bath tub, a record player, 2 tv's, a living room with a log burning stove. I could go on! The bed was so comfortable, id buy that duvet and pillows if i could! We loved the chill vibe of people wearing their bath robes and slippers in public areas. Would love to come back in the summer when outdoor bar is open and fire pit is lit!

    We shoud have stayed for longer.

    The overall experience was exceptional from the moment we arrived until we left. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Our room was fabulous with a lake view and minibar. The beds were so spacious and comfy and we had the added bonus of a deep bath in our ensuite. It was bliss! The food and service in Bonnies restaurant was absolutely brilliant. Every aspect of our dining experience was exceptional. The food was absolutely gorgeous. We at breakfast, lunch and dinner here and both had different dishes on every occasion and we were bot blown away with how nice it was. We had the fortune of having sunny days on our side which only added to the overall experience. The views, walking trails, outdoor swimming pool, golf course, hot tubs, lake activities and playgrounds make it the perfect haven of escapism and offer a chance to enjoy the beauty of nature.

    The food was ok but could have been better. The bar menu could have been better. From 3.30pm onwards it's only really finger food available such as nachos, cured meats plate, chicken wings etc. This isn't a great alternative for those who don't fancy the restaurant á La carte.

    The entire hotel was designed and decorated to a high standard. Very clean, the staff were polite and friendly. The gym was great, plenty of modern equipment and space. The surrounding grounds and facilities provided by the hotel is brilliant.

    Food and drink is expensive but very very tasty. Menu isn't extensive. Golf course takes up a lot of the grounds so not really a walkers destination

    Food was amazing, service was speedy and excellent. Room was very large with very comfortable bed. Lots of added extras (at an extra cost). Dog friendly as well. Outdoor heated pool is great and we did golf driving range which was fun

    A few health and safety issues. Lovely heated pool but no hand rail to support entering or exiting. Again, beautiful old wooden floors but some had quite wide gaps in between and I saw quite a few women getting heels stuck in between. Accident waiting to happen.

    Amazing location beautiful scenery. Staff were great couldn’t be more helpful . Quite rural but lovely little village a few miles away and 15 min drive to Athlone.

    Definitely the staff need to be more attentive. Had dinner in the restaurant, no one ever asked if everything was ok when it was brought down. Portions are small so had to ask for extra chips. Had to follow a girl after dinner to ask her to put it on our room. Breakfast staff the next morning were not much better. The man in Tom’s bar told us how hungover he was and when we asked about the food in there, he told us to go to the Villager or Grogan’s in the village and not eat in Tom’s. Bit strange.

    Amazing location and peacefully quiet. The lake is beautiful, as are the hot tubs and outdoor heated swimming pool. We didn’t bring our little dog but there were lots of dogs there, brilliant to see a hotel catering for our best friends. The decor is stunning and the room was huge (king). You can sign into Netflix on the tv.

    The service was a major let down, staff very slow even though there were plenty of staff on, a lot of standing around looking like they didn’t know what they should be doing! Especially at breakfast, trying to get tea/coffee was hard work! Left standing around for hot tub, empty bottles of water left on steps from previous guests, and when the attendant did arrive he strolled down to us with his hands in his pockets!!

    Very relaxing, great amenities, lovely ground for walks, hot tub was fab! Room very comfortable and spacious!

    I got food that wasn't gluten free despite sayinig it. I was so ill that night at 10pm. I asked for the fish and they said that they would have gluten free gnocci - but it wasn't.

    What a surprise - it was an amazing place to stay. Loved the decor, the ambiance, the outdoor walks and pool, the view, the bar - so much!!! I most certainly will be back to Glasson Lakehouse!

    We were woken up multiple times during the night from guests in the hallways to the fire alarm inexplicably going off at 5 in the morning. We both had a dreadful night's sleep. The shower in our room also didn't work properly as the temperature gauge was broken.

    Wonderful location and food.

    The only thing that I would point out is that we were told there would be drinks service to the hot tub but no one offered us anything. We later saw other people being served cocktails to the hot tubs so we felt a bit neglected.

    The rooms were so comfy and full of character. The record player and records were a lovely touch! My friend and I had the best girls night here, with the hot tubs and the spa it’s such a beautiful place for a break.
