Wineport Lodge

What a spot, due to a mix up on our plans we booked here last minute. Not only were they delighted to see us but phoned to check what time we would like dinner. Gave us a lovely glass of prosecco on arrival and showed us to our room. Super comfy beds and great big rain head shower. Patio door on to your own private little terrace.Now we paid a little more than the other hotel we expected to stay at but they warranted the extra money. Arrival is a little off putting, back of hotel a little tired, needs the timbers stained and rubbish outside and some cracked glass in windows....I was a little apprehensive. The front is a totally different story, serene views of the lake and exceptional food and service...out dinner was amazing...they made a fuss over my birthday. Everyone stopped to chat without it seeming forced or pretentious . Have I mentioned the food ..the food!! Wow!! The menu seems very small but they will change or amend any items listed to suit you so don't be afraid to ask...I got cod with a herb crust, was only listed on a sharing platter but no issue swapping it for the normal salmon listed dish. Partner got steak...I tried it, fabulous. Whiskey, pepper sauce. Starters I had a baba ganush style dish with flatbreads, he had soup. Both lovely but ps. order some breads it didn't come with soup. Desserts were awesome. Service attentive, friendly and not forced. Breakfast was good but not as good....service a little worse than the exceptional standard night before but we were down early and as some of the more experienced staff arrived things improved...we had pancakes ..they were amazing. Overall I was so pleasantly surprised, it's not cheap but then again you get what you pay for! Your staff here need to be commended even the youngsters seem to be trained on the art of pleasant conversation which is such a rarity now. Happy to recommend, great wine list, cosy log fires...I could stay forever!!

I've been wanting to visit wineport Lodge for as long as I can remember. We visited Glasson Lakehouse only a few weeks ago and I stood gazing across the lake thinking 'so close yet so far'. I booked last minute. Not realising there wasn't a thermal suite or communal pool or that I needed to book into the infinity pool and hot tub or that they didn't have a gym. So I was genuinely concerned when I did book and tried to get a hot tub slot and found it a bit tough to get something suitable.. But.. Wineport has a secret weapon that makes up for it. Read on.. We made the stressful 80 minute journey (thanks to Sunday drivers) and were due to land 15 minutes after the hot tub slot. I was panicking about missing the slot and it ruining a fantastic night away, especially considering the price I paid. At 1.10 I get a phonecall from wineport to say they were expecting me, I explained about the stressful traffic and I was told not to worry, take my time, they'd slide the slot out. The relief. But it didn't stop there.. We pulled up and parked. The sun was lacerating the lake. People were outside drinking on this beautiful sunny march day. It felt so nice. We walked in and were met by a gentleman, welcome to wineport, you've brought the sunshine with you, thank you. The friendliness, the professionalism. No check in, but a mention of my name and we were brought straight to the room by a friendly receptionist. How refreshing. Bags dropped, with a complimentary glass of prosecco in hand, we sontered to the hot tub to an exceptionally friendly 'Shane', full of chats and fantastic service. The minute the bubbles stopped he was over to assist and top up the bubbles. 30 minutes felt like 5. We wrapped up, headed into the pontoons' little cosy cabin to sit in front of the fire. Shane didn't hesitate to get some cocktails in our hands, full of recommendations and they didn't disappoint! We both sat and said 'This is service. This is what you want when you go away. The staff are schooled to a high degree. The professionalism, friendliness and service was second to none, from everyone'. Back inside, to the room, out to the balcony to have a beer on the lakeside with our complimentary crisps, cookie and chocolate. Beautiful. The personalised letter on the table just shows the detail they go to here. Every guest is their personal guest. The rooms are stunning, the bed comfy, bedding cosy, bathroom large and nicely decorated. That evening we headed to town for food and a pint. I came back and almost regretted not eating on site because the food looked and smelled sensational. We sat by the fire in the lobby, chatted and had a pint. How nice of an evening. We retired and slept well. Up early the next morning, we had breakfast to the room at no additional charge, that's unheard of, what a touch! The breakfast was stunning. The quality of the sausages, egg, bacon and pudding was honestly top notch. Side of croissants and muffin with tea, toast, coffee and jui

Visited the wineport lodge for my birthday, Feb 27th gift from my kids .My wife and I arrived around 1pm a little early to check in so we decided to have a bite of lunch in the bar and what a great start a salmon salad for Mary and the most unbelievable mussels with an amazing sauce best ever . Our room was ready after lunch, and we had a great view over the lough great bed, and wow, the pillows are something else. Hot stone massage a nap and then dinner in the bar overall an amazing day and night a special mention for all the staff at the hotel the most friendly , helpful and just cannot do enough for you I have come across anywhere , thanks to all see you again asap

The Wineport Lodge facilitated my sisters baby shower in the stunning glass house . The management and staff went above and beyond to accommodate any requests we had. The service staff were very attentive and helpful. The stunning views of the lake paired with the amicable ambience was extraordinary. The afternoon tea had something for everyone with plenty on each platter. The food was exquisite! We had an incredible afternoon and my sister felt so special. 10/10 would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for an elevated, memorable experience !

We were greeted by name at Reception by the amazing staff and shown to our family suit which was an upgrade on the room we had booked. The location is perfect and peaceful with amazing views. The hotel is not small but feels cozy and homely, with all the luxury you could want. We ate in the restaurant our second evening which was delicious, had a few drinks in the bar on both nights and even tried out the hot tubs. Wineport Lodge is fantastic and beautiful but for me it was the staff that make this hotel into a 5 star venue. Of course I have to mention the resident cat, Mr Fluffy who won our hearts. We will definitely be back.

Thank you for hosting a wonderful 60 th birthday in the glasshouse. The setting was perfect. The food was top class. The staff and service were top quality and our room was lovely. All in all a wonderful experience. Hoping we can get back here soon. Joe & Margie Seery
