What People Say

"Just returned from a weekend in Carrick on Shannon which we booked through Leitrim adventure and I would highly recommend the fabulous location and high standard of our waterfront accommodation. We are a group who work together with a wide variety of ages and I must say, Carrick offered something for everyone from dinner in The Oarsman to rugby watching in a spacious and comfortable pub to dancing the night away in Percy Whelans to the fabulous band Ruaile Buaile. Phillip was most obliging throughout- many thanks and we will be back!"

"Just back from an excellent stag party weekend booked with Leitrim Adventure. Philip was great in organizing everything for the 12 of us. From the accommodation which was brilliant and right in the center of the town, food, activities (highly recommend boda borg out at lough key) it all went off without a hitch. Highly recommended"
