This is a stunning property with very professional and friendly staff. There is a beautiful perimeter walk on property, around the golf course and grounds which can include the lake (~1.2-1.5 mile circuit). The food in Palmer’s bar was fine, we liked the chicken supreme quite a bit and the wait staff, especially Derry, was wonderful. Lovely nooks like you’ll find in the lounge are perfect for reading and having tea. Breakfast was an amazing and almost decadent experience. Three downsides to be aware of: 1.) the onsite ferry did not go out the days we were there due to winds, and that was a bit disappointing. 2.) While the Pullman sounded like an idyllic experience, the very limited menu drove us to other options. 3.) The air conditioning will shut off every 15-30 minutes, potentially making for a toasty sleep (unless you can figure it out)! All in all, we would recommend it highly!

High end Stay
The place is setup around a golf course very close to Gallway downtown. It has an older vibe. We had to book two rooms and really not "family" oriented. You are better off staying in town with young kids. A lot to spend on a overnight stay. The Pullman restaurant is a nice experience. It is expensive so be prepared. The staff were all incredibly attentive and had fun drinks. The food was more about art deco. The yards are pretty. Parking was easy. The staff was great.
