We booked the lodge for our daughters Confirmation and what a perfect day it was. Paddy, Warren, Alan, Chef and all the girls/bar staff who looked after us on the day, I cannot thank you all enough for making it such an amazing day, you all had everything organised to perfection and no stress for us. The room was set up absolutely fabulous, the food was just amazing (hats of to the chief), the selection on the menu, there was something for everyone. The food from starters to dessert was just absolutely delicious, the silence in the room spoke to how good the food was. Above all the service, the girls done a fantastic job making sure everyone had everything. When it came to the cake, Warren was straight to it helping me out and making sure everyone was sorted. Highly recommend for any family events, or just for really good food. Thank you all so much.

“Nice Staff, Website Misleading, Needs a Facelift”

The first thing I want to share is that there is abdolutely no difference between a suite and an apartment bar a few extra kitchen appliances (hob, washing machine, sink). In fact, they are co-located external to the main hotel. The website is misleading and implies a difference. It also states that a sofa bed is available in the suite for a 5th person - this was not true. I would not recommend booking for 5 people. We booked "a suite" and initially were given one with a single bed IN PLACE OF a sofa (nowhere for 5 people to sit). We were then moved and given an apartment 2 doors down with a sofa and a camp bed that had seen better days cramped into the living room. My son ended up sleeping on the sofa as the camp bed was so uncomfortable. The entire place was pokey and in need of a facelift (think 20 year old student digs). The en suite reminded me of a ferry cabin and had a tiny corner sink with the tap so close to the edge of the basin that water went everywhere each time we used it. The shower was tiny with no shelf to put your stuff on. No washing up liquid or tea towels were provided (not ideal for self catering). There was also no dining table, just a coffee table. The TV didn't work. We booked in for breakfast one morning. It was awful! Low quality meat, congealed overdone eggs, no decent coffee... I've honestly had better at Premier Inn. The tables were manky and no one seated us (we got a bored "yeah, sit wherever" but nowhere was clean & set). They did get us some nice porridge when I asked though. The positives... apart from the camp bed, the beds were comfortable, the rooms were cool and dark, the area was quiet. We all slept well. Plenty of parking. All the staff (predominantly Irish) were really helpful, friendly and nice to deal with (bar the afore mentioned waitress who maybe needs a customer service refresher). It was handy to have a fridge and the location was good - short walk to restaurants / cafés etc. The showers, while cramped, had good flow & hot water. All in all, the Shamrock Lodge served its purpose but we were very glad we only booked for a couple of days & probably won't return.
