The pictures of Mount Cashel lodge don't do it justice. The house is more beautiful and filled with more amenities than other places stayed. The outside space is beyond peaceful to just sit outside with a cup of tea and a book and listen to the birds. The lake has a boat and kayaks with an abundance of life jackets and fishing rods. There are swings and slides and football goals and a trampoline to keep the kids happy. Our daughter is 4 and a half and wasn't bored once. Would recommend to any person or family needing a bit of time off from the city life. Ideally located within an hours drive of the cliffs of moher and Galway and Limerick is just down the road.
