Having had some bad experiences before in Ireland, our hopes weren't exactly high before arriving at Lough Derg holiday centre. Our hopes were raised as we drove through the beautiful village of Killaloe, which nestles along the shores of Lough Derg. Maybe the good weather enhanced the senses a little, but I honestly don't think I've ever driven through such a beautiful area.
When we got to the holiday park itself, which is just a few miles outside of Killaloe, our hopes raised even further as we took in the beautiful setting.
The park has an area for touring caravans, but we were staying in one of the recently built Marina Walk Houses. The facilities in the houses were exceptional (the best we've ever experienced anywhere) and the reception and greeting we received from the staff at the centre was just as you'd expect an Irish welcome to be.
Lough Derg holiday centre is a brilliant touring base if you're keen to see what the West of Ireland has to offer. We visted a number of local tourist spots including the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren. Perhaps the beaches aren't quite up to the standard of those in Pembrokeshire but, hey, you can't have everything!
Our kids loved playing in the small on-site beach and it was clear from the large number of boats in the area that the fishing is excellent. There's also lots of opprtunities to try out some watersports as equipment and boats can be hired at the park.
It's difficult to find anything derogatory to say about the park itself or the people who run it so efficiently. If I had to say something, it would be a suggestion that some of the kids' facilities on sie could be updated or improved a little. However, our kids had a wonderful holiday, and the many other kids who were there at the time seemed as if they did too. Needless to say they want to come back next year and, for once, I will not disagree with them.
