My husband and I and our three adult children had a fantastic stay at Brian's place. The history of the Lodge is so interesting and the location near Lough Key was perfect. Plus Carrick on Shannon is a breeze to get to. We were well into our trip by the time we got to Brian's, so having Lough Key right next door was perfect. So much to do there. We hiked and ziplined and did a Boda Borg. We had so much fun. You'll love it. I would definitely recommend staying here!!!
