Pauline is the ultimate host - friendly professional and helpful. The property and room were lovely, every detail was catered for and clearly set out. I loved the sustainability focus of this B&B - endeavouring to make a meaningful contribution to reducing waste and it showed at every turn, from the use of towels and mobile charging station to elimination of single serve plastic containers at breakfast (and a comprehensive menu selection choice that catered for every option!), Hawthorn Lodge is a delightful, sustainable place to stay and one that we will be sure to return to. Excellent All Round!

Our recent stay at this bed and breakfast was an absolute delight! The family room, with its spacious layout and the charming small room with a bookshelf, exceeded our expectations. The thoughtful amenities, including a well-stocked kettle, tea, coffee, and snacks, added a comforting touch. The staff's professionalism, politeness, and genuine helpfulness created a warm and inviting atmosphere. From local tips to room assistance, their dignified service made us feel like cherished friends. Breakfast was a highlight, offering a delicious variety of freshly cooked options. The cozy dining area enhanced the overall experience. In summary, this bed and breakfast combines comfort, warmth, and thoughtful details for a truly exceptional stay. Highly recommended for those seeking a haven of hospitality.

Nothing in particular.

Beautiful view from the window and dining room at the garden, lake and nearby fields! Room very comfortable, nicely decorated, all necessities available. Even books were available to read. The host, Pauline, was super nice and very well organised. She gave us good advice regarding events happening in the town. The owners are aiming to make their service as sustainable as possible. Breakfast was made to perfection from local produce. We also had a chance to purchase jam from a local producer. The lodge and vicinity is very quiet.

The host Pauline was so friendly and welcoming and couldn't do enough to make our trip better. The views from the B&B were outstanding. The breakfast was amazing. The beds were very comfortable,room was a good size and plenty of supplies in the room for the time required.

Nothing, everything was perfect. Would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to everyone.

Beautiful location, house was airy and bright absolutely beautiful. Pauline was very friendly and welcoming. Bedroom was bright and spotlessly clean beautiful linen on beds and they were very comfortable . Breakfast was absolutely first class delicious and nothing was to much trouble for Pauline, we really felt looked after. If you need a b&b in this are I would highly recommend Hawthorn Lodge it was just perfect. Thank you

Nothing at all (sad we don’t own it!!) 😂

The location was nice overlooking a lake and easy to find even though out in the country. Breakfast was unusual in that pre-ordered but still nice. Rooms were very comfortable. The garden is nice and big and would have been lovely if weather had held up and we weren't jet lagged. Coffee in the rooms was appreciated, and good wifi.

Only that as we had some heavy bags, the gravel yard made for a difficult transition from car to room and back.

From the moment you enter the B&B you know you're in for a great stay. The place was spick and span. The room was as we'd booked and so well looked after. You pre order your breakfast for the following day what a great idea. You get what you want so no waste. Talking of breakfast what a great spread so tasty and filling. Views on all sides are wonderful. Book knowing its going to be a great quiet comfy stay.

Leaving........... But we will be back

The property itself is in a beautiful setting, overlooking a lake. It was spotless clean, very comfortable and Pauline was kind, helpful and accommodating. It was perfect for our short stay. The breakfasts, prepared to order, were excellent.

Nothing, except that it was a little difficult to find, closer to Milltown.

My stay at Hawthorn Lodge was like home from home. Pauline made me so welcome. Everything was spotlessly clean. The bed and pillows were so comfortable. There was so many little touches and attention to detail that made my stay so perfect. The breakfast was delicious and so fresh. Huge compliments and thanks to the family for their hard work and efforts.

Pauline looked after us so well during our stay. The location was perfect as we stayed here after a wedding in the Slieve Russell. The bedroom and bathroom were in perfect condition. Her attention to detail was amazing. The breakfast the following morning was the best I’ve had a long long time. Everything was cooked fresh. We got to chose what we wanted the night before from a wide range on offer. It was absolutely excellent. Thank you Pauline. We will be back
