Check Out: three dream lakeside escapes in Ireland

Glasson Lakehouse at Lough Ree; Wineport Lodge and Walden Lakehouse are jewels in Ireland's lakelands

Glasson Lakehouse.

Ireland's lakelands have gained an added sparkle in recent years as staycationers head to the region branded as 'Hidden Ireland'. A growing crop of stylish lakeside properties, across the area, has helped lure visitors too: from Cabü in Cavan adding a cabin cool to the banks of Lough Oughter to romantic Wineport Lodge.

Now, the Press Up hospitality group (The Dean in Dublin, Cork and now Galway) is adding to the attraction. Having bought the Glasson Lakehouse in 2019, a €20m expansion and refurb has transformed the popular golfing hotel into one of the Shannon region’s trending spots.
