My husband and I, our two kids (aged 11 and 8) and dog stayed for four nights in Colm's cabin on Lough Derg in August 2021. We had a ball. The location is beautiful. I loved the fact that I could put my togs on in the cabin, walk the few steps to the water, jump in for a dip, and walk back up to the cabin in my togs for a lovely hot shower. Most impressively, Colm has dug out a rectangular pool feeding into the lake where the kids spent hours upon hours on a paddle board living their best lives. The lake was only glass-still on one of the days of our stay so having this safer, shallower pool was absolutely brilliant - and my husband and I could sit and watch them on the two camping chairs provided at the cabin. There was great excitement one day when a curious swan arrived in! My husband brought his sea kayak and would paddle to Garrykennedy for a coffee at the Henhouse in the mornings (took about 15 minutes). I went out on the lake on the paddleboard on the day when it was absolutely calm - and it was blissful. Colm was very friendly and helpful - even with a baby on his hip! - and we took his advice to eat at Larkin's in Garrykennedy. What a lovely spot - highly recommended. We also had a day trip to Killaloe (about 20 mins away) where we had great craic at the Westlake inflatable park. Nearby Castlelough is also a worth a visit, my son played basketball there with some other kids and my daughter played in the playground. The cabin was comfortable and relaxing with TV and wifi. I really only used the toaster and kettle - sorry I can't be more helpful about the kitchen! We also got a tasty takeaway from an Italian called Pepe's in nearby Nenagh. Our holiday was two weeks long and took in some fantastic days in Sligo, Leitrim and Cork - but my son (11) said the highlight was playing on the paddleboard in Colm's "private pool" as we called it! Up Tipp!
