We stayed at James’ apartment for one night while driving across Ireland and it was great. As others have mentioned, James is a great host and his property is large, clean, spacious and above a pub. We had an evening meal at Larkins pub down by the lake which was perfect (the food is delicious and we recommend the fish chowder). Even though there were just the two of us, I can imagine that the property is ideal for large groups as there are five rooms and a large dining table in a well-sized kitchen which gives guests the option to stay in and cook for themselves. In the lounge, there’s a log burner for extra warmth and cosiness. The room we stayed in had an en-suite and the bed was very comfortable. We highly recommended this place as a great place to stay if you’re looking for accommodation around Lough Derg. After dinner last night, we had the pleasure of spending a few hours in the pub downstairs where there’s a pool table and several darts boards. It was a good stay and we would certainly stay again if we’re ever in the area again.
