    Just checked that book referred to above. It was run as a tea house by the Mc Guirk family from the late 1800's until it closed in 1996.
    It was a popular spot with walkers, cyclists and early touring cars and a favourite place for JM Synge. He boarded there in 1907, where he wrote his poem "To the Oaks of Glencree".
    They kept a visitors book, signed by many well known figures, Sir Hugh Lane, Oliver St John Gogarty, Austin Clarke and Robert Lloyd Praeger amongst others.

    Guinness Lake fits the bill as a "missing lake, with a house "??

    I was thinking that alright but it's private land so not sure how the OP would have got there.

    It could be luggala?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Did you guys even both reading this thread? Luggala has been suggested and discounted already, the lake is almost certainly Lough Bray based on the description/tea rooms.
