Many thanks to Rosemary McCarthy for taking the time to share her Shannon River adventure.
Brian, we had an absolute ball!!!!! It was a relaxing holiday and an adventure all in one!!! Now, we were blessed with the weather last week, there’s no doubt, but we all agreed we would do it again!!!
The boat was fantastic, the sleeping arrangements were perfect but if we could suggest, having a place for the person sleeping in the dining area to store their gear, would be a great help.
The cooking area and facilities were perfect, we even had a steak dinner one night!!!
We went north to Clonmacnoise, spent our first night there away from the party spot of Shannonbridge!!! Then went to Athlone for a night and from there to Lanesborough. We loved that spot so much we stayed two nights there!!! Then back to Athlone for a night, and then to Shannonbridge on the Thursday for a wonderful day of exploring, a fab tea in The Boatyard and lunch in the River Cafe.
We made it back to Banagher on the Friday night and JJ Houghs didn’t disappoint either!!!!!
We met some lovely people all along the way and the support was invaluable!!! It was great to be able to pay it back too as we got more comfortable with the handling!
All in all, it was a holiday worth waiting for with something for everyone, the boat was perfect and taking the All Inclusive option before we started gave us great peace of mind!!!
Thanks so much for all your support over the past year and a half!!!!!!!
