Absolutely beautiful B & B! Sheep and horses onsite. Spectacular views of Killone lake and Abbey. Gorgeous gardens. Joan was a lovely hostess and the guest lounge is not to be believed for comfort and views of the countryside. We chose to stay here our last evening in Ireland because of it's nearness to Shannon airport (20-25 minutes and and... more

My wife and I stayed here only one night. And I am sorry for that. Easily the most tranquil setting on our trip. A large grazing area behind the lodge where sheep and horses...graze. And just beyond that, a beautiful still lake. A couple of picnic tables out back make it a very peaceful setting with the chirping birds and... more

Gardens, grounds and exterior of house is immaculately kept and so serene and peaceful. Our room was large and we overlooked the horses and sheep toward the back of the house. Warning: apparently the fence is electric down by the horses and sheep. There was no warning sign, I just learned by a huge zap to my body when I... more

The Lakeside Country Lodge was a welcome place to stay the night after a late evening arrival at Shannon Airport. The Lodge was only 20 minutes from the airport and easy to locate. The rooms were large and clean. Joan was very helpful and pleasant. The view from the rear of the lodge is unbelievable -- a lovely pasture, lake... more

The Lakeside Country Lodge in Barntick is a beautiful place to stay. The view off the back of the house is not one you will soon forget. A group of 5 of us stayed with Joan and she was a lovely hostess. She provided us with great insight on finding relatives in the area and provided great recommendations for exploring... more

This B&B served it's purposes as a place to stay for the night on the way to Shannon airport the next morning. The Wi-fi was very good, the room was comfortable with pleasant decor and a clean bathroom, the breakfast was up to standard and the price was good (10% cheaper than what I paid in other B&Bs). On the... more

If you are staying in Lakeside Country Lodge there is one thing you must know: Program your GPS for "Barntick" in Ennis. Otherwise you are likely to get lost. The hand-created map on the website is accurate but the scale is VERY misleading. We ended up arriving at 11:00 pm and were lucky that Joan hadn't yet fallen asleep. Otherwise... more

I chose this B&B based exclusively on the reviews of other tripadvisor members and was disappointed. The pros as I saw them: - Great views from the rooms and the sitting area - Location otherwise (outside of town, in a pretty rural setting) - Decent value (was a little bit less expensive than the places we stayed in Clifden and... more

We stayed at the Lakeside Lodge on the nights of March 24th & 25th 2009. This B&B is a few miles outside of the town of Ennis. It is a lovely setting next to a lake with horses, sheep, lambs, and a big handsome dog named Buddy. The B&B was spotlessly clean and Joan was very friendly and helpful. She... more
