I had a lovely stay at Hodson Bay Hotel with gorgeous views of Lough Ree that made everything feel even more special. The food was mostly excellent, but I noticed some inconsistencies compared to previous visits. The staff were super friendly, especially Zoe at reception, who really stood out for her excellent service. However, bar service could be a bit slow during busy times, which dampened the experience a tad.
