Solis Lough Eske Castle in County Donegal
One of the places which we decided to visit here near Donegal Town is the Lough Eske. The signs for the lough were quite common that we decided to try to visit this place on our way back home. Lough Eske is another lake in county Donegal and based on the photos, it seems to be a lovely place to visit. It is in a rather isolated part of the county, although there are still roads going there. It was quite harrowing to be barreling through these small roads as everyone somehow seems to go much faster than us. We wanted to get there safe to it was slow but steady for us.

We ended up visiting Lough Eske Castle, which turned out to be a hotel owned by the Solis group of hotels. The Solis Lough Eske Castle seems to be a popular place for weddings and honeymoons, not surprising since it is in very beautiful surroundings. The castle here was an old castle built not by the Gaelic chieftains but by the English settlers. The castle eventually became a guest house and now it is a hotel, and a lovely one at that. I could only dream of going staying in a place like this. Perhaps someday.
