I had a good stay at Hodson Bay Hotel. The service was really good, especially from Lewis, who made us feel well taken care of during our meals. However, I did experience some mixed feelings about the dining options, particularly with my dinner choice. Overall, the spacious rooms and beautiful lake views were highlights of my visit. 🌅

I had a lovely stay at the Hodson Bay Hotel, though not everything was perfect. The room was spacious and clean, and the view of the lake was stunning. However, I encountered some issues with the check-in process and found the reception staff a bit disengaged. The dining experience varied; while my dinner at L'Escale was quite enjoyable, I did hear some complaints about the breakfast quality.

My stay at Hodson Bay Hotel had its highs and lows. The beautiful location by Lough Ree was captivating, with stunning views that enhanced my relaxation. However, some of the service aspects fell short of expectations, particularly in the bar area where the staff seemed inexperienced. I enjoyed the overall facilities and room comfort, but the dining experience had its hiccups, lowering the overall experience slightly.

The room I stayed in was clean and spacious, albeit it had a few maintenance issues such as worn furniture and a somewhat dirty bathtub. The lake view was stunning, but not as panoramic as promised due to blocking from the golf course.

Dining had its ups and downs. The breakfast options were generally good, but I faced issues with temperature control in the warmers during one of my meals. Dinner in the bar was decent but lacked consistency in quality. Some food felt overpriced for the value received.

The hotel offers a range of facilities, including a lovely swimming pool and gym, contributing to a pleasant stay. Despite a few operational hiccups, such as cleanliness issues in the jacuzzi area, the amenities largely enhanced my experience.

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.

The pool and gym facilities were great, and the atmosphere was nice and relaxing. The kids' club seemed to be a hit, so it's definitely family-friendly. However, I found the hot tub situation a bit unfortunate because it was not in working order.
