An early competitor for the hotel was the zootel, but despite their best efforts with frilly lampshades, the owners couldn’t disguise the elephant in the room. Leave the animals at home for today’s Groupon €49 for an overnight stay for two with breakfast and a bottle of wine on arrival at The Lakeside Manor Hotel.  Lying on the softlapped shores of Lough Romor, The Lakeside Manor Hotel offers guests a dining room from which to watch a late autumn sunset as it burns red on the still ripple of the waters. The ensuite rooms are all airconditioned and have sweeping views of the land surrounding Virginia, and the hotel is well placed for adventurous explorations of lake and country. And if guests tire of the calm breeze of their lakeside retreat, they can head to the hotel’s club for a little latenight entertainment.  With the prospect of an overnight escape fresh in their thoughts, guests can arrive in style at the hotel after 4pm, and perhaps head out for a quick stroll to catch the late afternoon light as it fades into the evening. Having celebrated their arrival with a bottle of wine, guests can plan their activityfilled stay. The surrounding area offers four golf clubs, a theatre, riding stables, and a pet farm, as well as a host of watersports and fishing available on the lake. To accomplish as much as possible, guests should spring as early as blackbirds from their beds to catch a full Irish breakfast before heading out to sample the delights of Virginia. Reviews TripAdvisor users awarded The Lakeside Manor Hotel a cosy 3.5/5 stars. Former guests praised the hotel’s lakeside location and welcoming staff, although some found the facility to be dated.

Everything was great, the staff where extreamly friendly, we had fabulous weather which made the lake veiw even more beautiful. Food was gorgeous. Not a bad word to say about this hotel.
