I had a wonderful stay at Shamrock Lodge Hotel. The welcoming staff made me feel right at home, and the room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was fantastic, with plenty of choices including a good full Irish breakfast, though I found the bar food to be very satisfying too! The only minor downside was that the mattresses could use some updating for extra comfort. Overall, I can't wait to return! 😊
