Wineport Lodge

Nice location nice hotel but way too pricey! Our room was lovely with a nice view, comfortable enough bed could be better, shower wasn’t great, cramped, we ate in the bar first night, basic enough menu, food was good, but nothing fancy! Drink’s overpriced, we had breakfast to the room two mornings, only benefit of that was there was no tray charge! Full Irish wasn’t great, sausages horrible and rashers not really cooked to liking, however second day had the pancakes and they were lovely, third morning ate in restaurant and it was ok, my husband got eggs Benedict, I could have served better at home, we ate two nights in the Michelin star restaurant, got steak both nights, first nite was really nice even thought the sides served were basic and sparse, second night in restaurant was ok, hubby got the royal treatment for birthday ,balloons at table and a candle at end of meal with a mini dessert, my steak was unfortunately under cooked however they did correct it and didn’t charge for it, we used the spa also, my husband had booked a massage facial for me, had I know the cost of it I would have declined, €150 euro for mini mini facial and mini mini back massage, and of course my skin was dehydrated so was advised to purchase a special cream €55 for this, as he had booked the treatment for me I asked could my husband come down and use the infinity pool with me after treatment, that was an extra €25 and on the spa brochure it stated glass of bubbles with infinity pool experience but we didn’t get! Outdoor hot tub was nice but again €25 euro each, but we did get a glass of bubbles with that! And the lady was very nice she gave us blankets afterwards so we could sit by the lovely outdoor fire and enjoy our drinks, last thing I’d like to mention was check in, we arrived around 430 as check in was from 4pm but experience was very rushed in detailed information pushed down the coriander with glass of bubbles and luggage taking from us, seemed strange!! Also was noted there was no information really in room, about room service, or any services and also which we found annoying was everything was but on the room and there was no way of accessing the balance or any alternative way of paying before check out.

We really enjoyed our time in The Wineport Lodge. Beautiful setting, beautiful rooms and glorious food. The best hotel that we've ever stayed in. Lovely staff, peace comes with the place. We definitely will be back. We can recommend it without reservation.

To say we are having the most amazing time staying in THE WINEPORT LODGE, I have never stayed in a hotel ,that have the most friendlies & courteous staff , who go way beyond their job to make sure your taking care of, the suite overlooking the lough is amazing & beyond comfortable, a lovely touch is the welcome note & tray with crisps,cookie & chocolate with a bottle of water waiting in your room ,food is delicious, well presented , we had breakfast each morning & dinner , highly recommend, we had a lovely in the hot tub ,with your glass of prosecco divine ❤️, will we be back absolutely , we can not recommend THE WINEPORT LODGE enough ❤️

This family run hotel has exceptional customer engagement &experience at its heart. Each staff member touch points reflects this central ethos perfectly. Our check in began with the owner welcoming us with a glass of prosecco on arrival from Ray, who is a member of senior management and as we later discovered, one of the owners. This was a very welcome surprise but only a seaway as to what was to follow. Molly, managed the reception desk like a captain of an ocean going vessel. Deft almost imperceptible touches brought us through the process seamlessly. We were brought through to the bar area for our lunch and once again, the customer centricity ethos shone through. Catalogue took our order after offering his personal favourite dishes from a well considered menu. My chowder was the best I have enjoyed in Ireland to date, and this is a go to dish for me. The Guinness bread was super, the perfect accompaniment. Later, our room offered an absolutely dynamic view of our end of Lough Ree, sweet! Dinner was a trip down seafood central as we opted for the seafood sharing dish (which I would earnestly recommend) and gound a gru vee on the wine menu. Kash was a muse of information and was delighted to impart his intricate & indepth knowledge of the wine menu. The professionalism that each and every waiter on the floor was shining through. At this stage, you can clearly see that my experience here was exemplary. When you can come here, book a place and unwind. We will be back.

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.
