"Room, perfect! Had a corner room on the second floor overlooking the courtyard. Spacious room, huge bathroom, and comfy bed (so comfy in fact we slept through our initial alarms!). Staff were incredibly helpful and kind, they really made our toddler feel welcomed and loved. No need to leave as food, relaxation, spa, entertainment, etc is all onsite! We'll definitely be back, according to my wife our 10 year anniversary will be spent at the Lough Eske Castle!"
