So pretty much everything about our stay in the Castle Oaks House Hotel was perfect. We were looking for a pet-friendly way to get away for the bank holiday, and this hotel fulfilled all our needs.
It's set in beautiful grounds on the banks of the Shannon. There's a walkway across the river from the hotel, so you can wander the banks for hours if you're able. Just outside the hotel is the sleepy village of Castleconnell, with a few shops, pubs, etc.
The hotel is really nice too. There's a self catering section, the main hotel and function hall, leisure centre, and another courtyard of apartments (where we were holed up). Having our dog with us, it was really convenient to be able to get her outdoors at a moments notice and also for her to have a bit of room to run around indoors.
The food and ambience at the hotel were great too. The service was excellent all-around too. Overall, this place is a perfect example of what I'd want when staying in an Irish hotel. read more
