The Shannon Oaks Hotel & Country Club have recently launched 38 brand new spacious self catering apartments to complement the existing 22 self catering lodges and 63 hotel bedrooms.

Portumna is located just 2.5 hours from Dublin and 1 hour from Galway & Limerick so it is an ideal location for a long stay or short break. The area offers many activities such as cruising, fishing & angling, equestrian centres, karting, golfing and many other visitor attractions.

The apartments are designed to the highest specifications. There are two types of apartments.  We have a limited number of camp beds available so that some of the apartments can accommodate up to 5 people.  Please enquire with us directly.

GROUND FLOOR APARTMENTS

The ground floor apartments each contain 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (the beds are zip and link beds so can be either doubles or twins).  Each of these ground floor apartments has a balcony opening out from the living room overlooking the tranquil Portumna Forest Park.  The living room contains a comfy suite of furniture and a TV/ DVD combination unit.  The kitchens are spacious and contain the following equipment:

The entrances to the Duplex Apartments are situated on the first floor up a flight of stairs.  Each Duplex consists of two bedrooms (one with ensuite bathroom), and they are modern in style.  Again, the bedrooms can be either double or twin depending on your requirement.  The living areas, all with balconies overlooking the tranquil Portumna Forest Park, are spacious and tastefully decorated.  The bedrooms are located upstairs and both are ensuite.  There is also a guest toilet downstairs.
