The breakfast menu was really extensive with something for everyone. The buffet was small but perfectly formed with lovely fresh fruit, pastries, cereal and yoghurt. We had two lovely Americano coffees and a lovely big pot of tea for one was served and refreshed by the staff.

The outside area was a little rough around the edges. The car park has quite a number of pot holes and the entrance way into the hotel and the main door was a little hard to spot. The view was fabulous though and we would have loved to have had a longer walk around the lake but unfortunately that wasn't possible.

We had a lovely stay here at Lakeside Manor. We were staying the night before we went to a wedding nearby. Our room was lovely with a balcony and a beautiful view of the lake. It was extremely clean with a very big comfortable bed, powerful shower in the ensuite and beautiful smelling toiletries. There was an iron and a hair dryer which I was very glad of. The room was very well supplied with sockets in all the places we needed. We had food in the bar area in the evening and that was very tasty, typical bar food. And the breakfast in the morning again was perfect, served to us by friendly helpful staff. We couldn't recommend this place highly enough. It way exceeded our expectations, which was such a bonus. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Nothing we didn't like

The location is beautiful, not sure if the lake is ok for swimming but I was certainly tempted. It's a 5 minute drive from Virginia town centre which translates to a 45 minute walk (it's a main road so perhaps not a straight walk) and I'm not sure about the taxi services although I heard they stopped at 9pm. I wasn't expecting much but the bed was really comfortable, the place was really warm and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. We arrived early and they allowed us to check in and the next day they even went as far as to leave us a breakfast pack up each (very early flight) which had fruit, yoghurt, cheese and pastry. I was thrilled. The decor was quite quirky it sort of reminded me of a place you'd hold a murder mystery event but I quite enjoyed that, definitely not bland and the reception area had comfy seats and a great view. The staff are what make this place, even if for some reason you weren't happy with something you'd soon forget it because of how you'd been treated by the staff. The rooms had tea and coffee facilities and plenty of towels, and the family rooms are really spacious. You've even got Netflix on the tv for those who feel the need. I didn't get a chance to eat here so I can't comment on the food but next time I'm in the area I would definitely stop by either to stay here or to try the food. Thank you to all the staff who went above and beyond!

The drinks are on the expensive side in the bar.

The Hotel was in a wonderful location, with lovely views of the lake. The bedroom was fairly spacious and the king size bed was one of the most comfortable that we’ve ever slept in. We shared a scrumptious Porterhouse steak and the portion was plentiful. The tasty Irish breakfast set us up for the day. Finally the staff could not have been more helpful and made for a truly memorable stay. 

We were quoted 10 euros for a taxi to Virginia Park Lodge (1.83 miles away). However a local taxi driver tried to charge us €20 each way, so just be aware.

The location is fabulous with a beautiful view of the lake. The hotel is in need of a complete refurbishment both inside and out. Staff were very welcoming and professional. Food was excellent.

The hotel is in a time warp and in need of a complete refurbishment. The bedroom was comfortable but the air conditioning was very noisy so it was difficult to sleep. The view from our bedroom was unsightly as our room was facing the main road at the rear of the hotel and was in need of a tidy up. The bathroom en-suite is in need of a refurb.

How helpful staff were and nothing was too much. We where on a fishing trip temp as -3 outside and and staff filled our 5 travel mugs with coffee for free. Breakfast was exceptional and restaurant food was excellent. Hotel allowed us to park our boats in the staff car park for extra security and peace of mind.

The weather not much hotel can do about that.

Beautiful view. Such fantastic and helpful staff who went out way make stay perfect. The decor in the hotel was stunning, the art everywhere you turned was a talking piece it made such a unique experience. The room we stayed in was spotless and had such charm plenty of space. Breakfast was so tasty. Would definitely be back.

Nothing was fantastic.

We got a lakeside view. It was spectacular. Even though the weather wasn't great. It was absolutely stunning

The Lakeview view was incredible. The breakfast was fabulous. Dinner was great. The cocktails were a little bit pricey. The TV in the room was Fab up-to-date. A really enjoyable stay. Despite the weather being bad.

Staff extremely nice every department Samuel with the cap barman very good and the other lads also... Tea and cafe facilities in your room, balcony and TV. Nice breakfast, good choices.

Well the check in at 4pm ...bit late ...but understandable if you short of staff...write to the dole and tell them you can't get any staff .

Location (side of Loch), amazing view. Bar & restaurant, buzzing, great food, top barman kept everyone entertained. Staff very friendly & attentive.

Some noisy lads in the neighbouring room. Unfortunately the room had an adjoining door, and I was kept up most of the night, despite my complaints. The staff called me the next day to apologise, and said to call next time I am in area so they can compensate me. This was very kind as it was not their fault.
