Wineport Lodge Review

Its surroundings,the quality of its food and its friendliness.

Food. Friendly. Beautiful surroundings. On a lake. 1st class for everything.

Very experience for what you get for two nights I could have had a holiday in Spain for a week for the price I paid for the two nights

What a fantastic place to get away from it all. Very very cosy atmosphere .friendly staff can't do enough to helpful.would highly recommend. Can't wait to stay again..

Tied up on their jetty on wonderfully scenic lake. Had 1st class dinner in the restaurant...We were impressed.

The wineport lodge amazing. Amazing staff and great food and scenery. Did not want to leave

Lovely food, excellent service, nice cocktails. What a view!

Beautiful spot for a wedding, Great atmosphere, friendly professional staff, looking forward to providing wedding entertainment here again.

Nice views. Excellent service. Very professional staff. Limited lunch menu though but overall food ok.

Most relaxing place in the world, food excellent ,staff very friendly, fabulous athmosphere and wonderful view of lough ree

We stayed there yesterday evening. Absolutely excellent experience in every way, from the welcome to the dinner and the nights sleep. I would love to give 6 stars in this recommendation.

Beautiful views and fantastic food and service. 1 of the best in the midlands.

Excellent place excellent and approachable staff, food here is brilliant, breakfast is very good room's are very comfortable

I love this place. Rooms overlooking the lake, outdoor hot tubs and a fantastic restaurant. Great for a romantic getaway or just to switch off for a couple of days.

Attended my son and daughter-in- law's (stuart & zara) wedding here on sept 1st. Best day ever. splendid setting, amazing food , excellent all round service, and my room was heavenly. A huge thank you to all the staff for making it such a wonderful experience.

Magic place,setting sublime!perfect company,Ray was the friendliest,welcoming host,waiters/waitresses so lovely esp. the lad from Donegal...food was really lovely..what more can i say perfect Happy Birthday to me...

Stayed with my extended family super location by the lake with stunning view from the rooms. Good was good and staff were excellent.

My husband and I stayed in Wineport Lodge for two nights over the weekend and I can say that hands down is was the best break we have ever had away.
We try to go to a 5 star Hotel every year as a treat for our anniversary but Wineport has far surpassed them all. From the greeting right until checkout the staff and management were so accommodating and just lovely and kind. We stayed in the Champagne suite and it was an amazing suite with an amazing view. My husband and I are both vegan and it can be difficult when we stay in hotels but chef was so accommodating and even though they had vegan options on the menu he did specials for us each night and desserts. The vegan food was the nicest we have ever had anywhere, including full vegan restaurants. I really can t say enough about this hotel. I would highly highly recommend a visit and we will definitely be back again.

Very nice place but the food is not as good as I expected

Accommodation was brilliant but the restaurant let it down over priced for a 5 star restaurant not a great choice portions very small.

Amazing place, has to be experienced, no words could do it justice!

Myself and my partner Robbie chose The Wineport Lodge for our Civil Ceremony in July of this year. The staff were lovely and the food excellent. The Lodge and its stunning scenic grounds helped us to create a beautiful atmosphere for our special day, I would't change a thing.

Nice food therefore four stars. Loads of staff but not very attentive. Hard to get their attention at times.
Event though food was nice there was an extremely limited menu.
Chocolate block was nice for desert.
Overall though it was a nice experience with nice food and beautiful views.

Fantastic place great welcome @nice food great atmosphere all round certainly go again

Lovely setting and food was very nice but be prepared to pay well.

Luxurious hotel with incredible food with rooms that open out right onto the lake

Staff we're so friendly and helpful. Such a lovely getaway. Favourite hotel I've stayed in. Perfect for a getaway for a night or two.

Beautiful scenery and right on Shannon river.lodge is top quality and food excellent. Staff very professional and friendly

Amazing place! My husband and I have stayed here twice and if you're looking for a relaxing & peaceful getaway this is definitely the place. There are views of the beautiful lake from the room, from the restaurant and from the porch out front. Cosy up with a nice glass of wine with your favourite book out on the porch and grab one of the cosy, fleece blankets available at reception (which is a really nice touch). Food in the restaurant is top notch and the service is some of the best we've had ever. Would definitely recommend this little gem of a place.

Amazing food and great hospitality! I'd recommend it to everyone!

Lovely place to lay your head lovely views across the lake

Amazing place, from the moment you book to the moment you leave, their staff make you most welcome and have a real personal touch. We stayed in the champagne suite which was a complimentary upgrade. This room is amazing, it is split over two levels with the living area downstairs and the sleeping area upstairs on a mezzine level with floor to ceiling windows to enjoy the lakeside views from your room. The room also comes with a gas fire for that winter warmer cozy days by the fire. The food was excellent. We stayed for the 2 nights bnb with one night of dinner. The dinner was for 3 courses with tea and coffee. No exclusions or supplements which is a nice touch. A very nice touch is that you can go to the bar for a pre dinner drink where they will take your order and bring you to the restaurant when your table is ready. There is a treatment suite and outdoor hot tubes. This was an amazing place where you can chill out and enjoy the lake. We will be back.

Went here for an overnight in February this year, arrived later in the evening didn't get a chance to have a walk around. Lovely setting by the banks of the lake. There are a couple of BMW bicycles to use if you get there early to check out the sites. Rooms were beautiful with all having views of the lake.Staff were nice and food in restaurant was overpriced although the starters of pork belly I had was the best I ever had but 20 euro for a starter, 50 for a main (still choking at the price) and 20 for a desert is only for the rich and really special occasions.

Had a glorious break here with my Partner in February and even at this time of the year we really enjoyed it. Such a nice setting. Food and Staff were top class. The rooms were so luxurious overlooking the lake.

Loved our stay here. The outdoor jacuzzi view over the lake was amazing, could have sat there all day!

A beautiful secluded location, friendly staff and one of the best plates of fish & chips I've ever had. Will definitely visit again.

3 nights and we loved it. Very relaxing location. Very good food. Lovely and very competent staff. And nice modern hotel.

Another great time at the Wineport lodge food and service top class. Love the new bar great night had by all.

Great place for a break. Good staff and lovely food.

Had a turkey burger, fairly bland but piping hot. I think the Lodge should give the option to the customer for Coleslaw, mine was purple and little else. Foregin girl served us,No smile and no pleasantries! Would like think.about staying in the Lodge for the future. Staff could do with smiling a bit more, they were efficient but did not come across as happy in their work.

Fantastic experience, lovely refurbished rooms, superb food in a relaxed friendly atmosphere. Thank you Wineport Lodge

absolutely amazing place, we were wined and dined and the retreated to our gorgeous room with a stunning view of the lake.
you actually feel like you are on the lake..
we will be back,

Amazing veiws, great staff and food. Very nice place to relax for a few days

Excellent food. Staff very friendly. Perfect location for a couple.

Very relaxing. Food great and staff brilliant, pity they do not have a spa area.

Amazing place to watch the sunset and the service is very good too! The staff are lovely.

Very beautiful restaurant. Excellent staff and excellent food. Fabulous experience.

Hotel Room was lovely. Very relaxing stay. Food in restaurant not as good as last stay 4 years ago, but would still recommend it.

I would highly recommend it staff very friendly and helpful and great view also food great

Beautiful location with amazing views and I love the quirky layout. Last year this was an easy 4 stars but the food menu changed and while the Cote de Boeuf was amazing, the rest was a bit gastro pub rather than nice restaurant. Given the cost of a weekend for two at off peak October I couldn't give more than three stars

Beautiful location but overpriced, food average. We went there for brunch. Eggs benedict not good at all and was 11euro. 8euro for a bowl of soup - bread with soup was cold and rubbery, a couple of days old. Service very slow despite restaurant being quiet and loads of staff on. Strange atmosphere, I noticed none of staff really engage with each other and they seem unhappy. Overall very disappointing.

beautiful setting for a botique hotel. great service from friendly staff who made us feel very welcome. The restaurant sits right on the lake with lovely booth style seating. We will be back!

Highly recommend this stunning place. Staff are extremely welcoming and friendly. Rooms are amazing with such beautiful views of the lake.

Lovely place to stay . Food is fab too . Service is great . The views and setting are wow . Well worth a stay .

Having previously given this a 5 star review last year as a super drop in for a bite by the lake spot, there is now a new menu gone are the old favourites like ploughman's sandwiches indulgent burgers etc to be replaced by very little. Lacking choice I settled for the chowder which was very nice served, when asked for, by a few little pieces of bread. Five of us left with little to show for the money spent, guess they must be focusing on the evening dinner trade. Sad to say down grade to a coffee stop in my book.

We had the most amazing and enjoyable experience in Wineport lodge! The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us and we were so impressed with everything from the rooms to the delicious food/ cocktails to the spa treatments!! Following an enjoyable night in the restaurant and bar we booked in for a spa treatment on our final day which was the icing on the cake the girls were brilliant! Our only regret was that we didn t stay for longer! Highly recommend, friendly staff, great food and atmosphere and lots to do nearby!

Excellent experience ! Staff are so friendly . Food and spa treatments are amazing

Excellent restaurant with a gorgeous view of the lake. Impeccable service. Tasty food. Price above average but perfect for the delivered service. Very good !!!

Tranquil.. the views from the bed breathtaking..We stayed in the champange suite luxurious everything! underheated floors, personal balcony and the food was out of this world would happily die here

Plenty of space to moor up a boat, great views outside overlooking the river. Prime location.

Food fairly priced, a bit on the high end, however you pay for what you get. Lovely seating and interior.

Would recommend.

We stayed for 2 nights after they reopened from lockdown, the room was amazing and the view beautiful.
Despite looking appetising, the food was a major disappointment. The chicken sandwich was bland, the seafood linguine lacked seasoning, as did the duck pate.
The biggest disappointment of all was the Green Egg pizza which I was looking forward to, but it was doughy and once again bland. Frankly I was shocked that the kitchen couldn't even get pizza right.

From a covid perspective, complimentary breakfast in bed was a nice touch (however the coffee was undrinkable dishwasher and I had to resort to the in-room coffee making facilities which in fairness consists of ground coffee and a cafetiere).
But the occupancy in the bar and restaurant was high and there was a lack of social distancing. No member of staff wore any form of mask or face covering and the wait staff (who were friendly and helpful) carried on their work in close proximity.

Can t praise the team at the Wineport Lodge enough. The setting is wonderful and the service and hospitality offered is excellent! The Wineport s response to the challenges of Covid is innovative - including glasshouse pods which have been constructed looking over the lake. As always a great welcome, great food and a totally relaxing place to recharge.
