Romantic Breaks this Autumn at the Lakeside Hotel
As the days grow shorter and the crisp air of autumn sets in, it’s the perfect time to slow down, step away from the routine, and reconnect with the one you love. Taking a short break together isn’t just a luxury, it’s a way to recharge, rekindle romance, and create memories before the busy winter season begins. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to take that much-needed escape, this is it.
A Romantic Lakeside Escape
Set on the banks of the River Shannon, the Lakeside Hotel is made for couples seeking rest, indulgence, and time together. Arriving to a warm welcome, where the views of the lake immediately calm your mind.
From cosy rooms with thoughtful touches, to the inviting atmosphere of O’Hara’s Bar & Restaurant, every detail encourages you to slow down and savour the moment. Dining here is an experience in itself, with dishes crafted from fresh, local ingredients, best enjoyed with a glass of wine and the lake twinkling outside the window.
For couples who want to unwind even further, the leisure centre offers a sauna, jacuzzi, steam room, and pool, the perfect way to melt away any lingering stress before wrapping yourself up in a robe and simply enjoying the quiet.
The Charm of the Twin Towns
Part of what makes the Lakeside so special is its location, nestled between the twin towns of Killaloe and Ballina. Wander hand-in-hand across the iconic 13-arch bridge and explore streets filled with cosy cafés, charming pubs, and little shops waiting to be discovered. History, culture, and community are everywhere you turn, making even the simplest stroll feel memorable.
For couples who love the outdoors, Ballycuggeran Woods is a must. Just a short drive from the hotel, it offers a peaceful forest walk with stunning views over Lough Derg. Whether you’re looking for a gentle wander under colourful autumn leaves or a more energetic hike, it’s the kind of place that invites you to relax and connect with nature.
