myguideIreland offers these wonderful holidays on the River Shannon, the ultimate in get-away breaks. With 3 departure Bases at Carrick-on-Shannon at the junction of the Boyle and Shannon rivers, Portumna at the top of the majestic Lough Derg and Belturbet on the Erne, you can choose between quite different types of waters to spend a lovely holiday.
The onshore facilities at the Bases include comfortable reception
foyers, instructional videos, showers, laundrettes, clothes drier, and
parking. All the boats have a telephone on board for contact with the
Base if required.
There is so much to see, so much to do and so many places to visit -
all in amazing and contrasting scenery - and the freedom to do it! You
have canals, narrow and wider sections of river, and lakes dotted with
islands.
There are only 6 locks on the entire Shannon and 16 automatic ultra modern electronic locks on the Shannon-Erne waterway.
Choose your own pace in the long light evenings of the summer basking
in the friendliness of the people and you'll understand why you will
get drawn back again and again.....
"I just wanted to let you know our Ireland trip was fabulous!! Thank you so much! Your recommendation to Adare Manor was a top tip! I went to Ashford Castle as well, it was very very nice to, but my preference is still Adare Manor. I just wish that I had booked 2 nights there instead of just one. The B&Bs were TOP too! Especially the one in Kilkieren up in Galway. Barbara was lovely and couldn't have done more to make our stay memorable. The Hillside House is definately one you can recommend to anyone!" -- Silke
