"An absolute gem of a park, it's very peaceful here and tranquil. Went today with my wife and baby. We all had a great time. We did the lakeside trail, which is only 20 mins. Then brought our baby to the kids playpark. We will return and do the next trail which is 30 mins. I highly recommend anyone to travel here and enjoy the scenery."

"Gorgeous walks as well a camping area. There are 2 lovely play areas for children. Really enjoyable any time of the year. We make some paper cut outs and the kids loved using them to take some pictures"

"Lovely place for all ages. There is a 1 km loop walk around the lake, this is suitable for buggys. There are lingers walks too not sure if they are buggy friendly. We walked up to to the caravan park where there is a cafe, playground and fairy trail. This was lovely but a long walk for smaller legs."

"Went to the park with family and passed a few hours walking around and enjoying the scenery. There’s a playground for the small kids. It’s €5 to get in or €40 for a pass for the year. Make sure you have coins as the machine doesn’t take notes and the smallest coin it takes is 20 cents. Lovely clean place and a great way to spend a few hours with the family"
