Lofty notions of itself

Review of Wineport Lodge
1.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 7 Sept 2024
We went to Wineport Lodge on a Saturday afternoon to scope it out for an event. There were several tables free on the patio and we would like to have sat and have a drink. A very officious front desk man told us that we couldn't have a drink, we must eat as well!!
This place has Celtic Tiger notions of itself. We won't be back. We went to another hotel across the lake where we couldn't have been more welcome.

Amazing food, service and location. Upon arrival you are greeted by very pleasant staff and offered a glass of champagne. The rooms overlooking the lake are beautifully decorated. The food was exceptional. I would highly recommend the sea food platter.

Arrived today to celebrate our wedding anniversary. So far it's been just outstanding. Bubbles 🥂 on arrival, amazing bedroom with beautiful lake views, and outstanding customer service. Dinner tonight was absolutely delicious. Really looking forward to the spa tomorrow, and all the delights in store.

A fabulous time from the moment we arrived till the moment we left.
We were met by molly and brendan who were very welcoming and when I explained that I had booked the hot tubs at check in time they put my mind at ease and got us checked in earlier.
The hot tub was wonderful even though it was pouring rain. Rhian was our host there. Got us settled in with our glass of bubbly and put the stove on incase we were cold when we got out.
Bar staff were lovely too.
We had dinner in our room on the balcony overlooking the lake. We had the charcuterie board and some wings. Food was lovely.
Comfortable room and bed.
Had breakfast delivered the next morning. Fab
A wonderful relaxing time made all the better by the welcoming staff.

We enjoyed a 2 night stay at Wineport Lodge at the end of July. The hotel is beautiful & all of the rooms have balconies & views of the lake. We were blessed with nice weather so that was a bonus. Our room was nice, the bed was very comfortable with great pillows. The bathroom was spacious with a great power shower. All of the staff we encountered were lovely, all very friendly & helpful. We really enjoyed the outdoor spaces at the hotel, with good weather it was great to have so much outdoor seating. We enjoyed great cocktails in the sunshine while we were there.
The only disappointment we had in the hotel was the food. We expected a much higher standard than what was available. Examples are chowder with more carrots than fish in it, a completely tasteless key lime pie, bruschetta on rock hard bread - and that was just our lunch experience on day 1. The dinner menu was very pricey & had a very limited choice. After a very average meal on night one we actually ended to going to Glasson village on day 2 for lunch just to experience something a little tasty. The food at Wineport was freshly prepared but just seemed to lack flavour.
Overall we had a lovely weekend but I wouldn’t return because if you are paying over €1,000 for 2 nights away the food should be excellent.
