The hotel offers a beautiful location on an island, ideal for nature lovers and those seeking a relaxing getaway. While the rooms have their charm, with peaceful ambiance and rustic decor, they are in need of some maintenance and deeper cleaning. The dining experience is generally good, but inconsistencies in food service and menu options, as well as some overcrowding during busy events, detract from the overall experience. Overall, it's a cozy place, but a little more attention to detail would elevate the stay.

My stay at Lusty Beg Island had its high points but also some considerable letdowns. The lodge I stayed in was spacious and boasted beautiful views, making it a nice retreat. However, the service left a lot to be desired, particularly with the lack of housekeeping during my stay. The location is simply stunning, but there were some issues with dining that overshadowed the experience.

My experience at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the cabin was cozy and comfortable, with lovely decor and great amenities, the overall upkeep of the facilities left much to be desired. The dining was enjoyable but a bit pricey, and the lack of a proper spa experience was disappointing, especially considering the advertised amenities. I certainly expected more given the cost of our stay.
Rooms

The location is attractive, nestled between beautiful counties, making it a great base for exploring the region. It's within easy reach of stunning locations but can feel somewhat isolated on the island.
