This is my third trip to Athlone, the reason being to visit a friend from my U.S. days, who was staying with family. There is much to appreciate about Athlone, it has a lot of character. There are plenty of shops and two shopping malls. There is a good train service to/from Dublin and onto Galway, stopping in between. There is a bus station adjacent to the train station. You could travel on public transport thus avoiding hire car and driving. The river Shannon flows through the centre of Athlone, it is popular for fishing and sailing and walking. There is a tourist centre, and it is a lively place to stay. There are some good quality hotels. There seems to be plenty going on in the surrounding areas visiting ancient sites etc

If the weather is good go to Belvedere House for a walk and coffee. It's so lovely and peaceful at the lake. In the town there's plenty to check out. We had a brunch in Bellys which was lovely and then headed to Montogmerys whiskey bar - just a cosy little spot. There's a sweet shop just near it and there was all sorts of treats on offer!!

Kinnegad was the perfect spot to begin. It is relaxed and has several advantages. It is close to many walks and bigger towns eg Mullingar,, you can bus up to Dublin for the day very easily so no wrestling with the traffic or parking fees. The local pub “Scanlons” is a fabulous place to grab a meal and meet some of the locals (and the apple crumble was delicious).

Perfect place to stay upon your arrival to Dublin or on your way out to the airport the following day. Just under an hour from the international airport, so you can ease your way into driving on the "wrong side" of the road and eliminate tackling the adjustment in the middle of the city (save that for later in your trip, my advice) So just heading west for a bit and then off the motorway for just a few minutes and you are here at this gorgeous property. The owners could not be nicer nor more accomodating. Very comfortable rooms, lovely sitting room with a cozy fire going, tea cake served in the afternoon and the *best* Irish breakfast going in ten counties, I swear! I just love the Templemacateer House. Farm animals are the bonus feature, too.

We only had a 1 night stay here. We would definitely have stayed longer. 2 nights would have been lovely. However, upon arrival we were greeted at Reception by 2 lovely people. Immediately we were poured a refreshing sparkling drink and after a little bit of banter were shown to our room. The room opened out onto a small terrace which looked on to the Lake. The sound of the water lapping up towards was so tranquil. The room was beautiful. A large bed with a porthole window above it with the light shining through from the en suite. The room was extremely comfortable. Complimentary Water, cookie, crisps and dark chocolate. Tea making facilities in the room with real milk in the fridge... After we settled in we made our way to the Spa where we had Back Massages booked. The staff here were so nice and after an initial consultation we were taken for our treatments which were very well received. We then went downstairs to the Infinity pool. Such a treat. We had booked the Hot Tub after that. Off we headed in our robes again outside where there was a beautiful wood burning stove. Rhian showed us down to the Hot Tubs and after he filled glasses with Proscecco he left us to 39 minutes of pure bliss. The rain was pouring down but we were in heaven in our 40 degree plus Heat of water. We had our meal booked for 8.45pm. However we arrived early to the bar for a drink where we were shown menus and our order was taken. Once we were shown to our table the food was out in a jiffy. No waiting around here. Our meal was delicious washed down with a Fantastic recommendation of a bottle of wine. Although we hadn't room for dessert our server arrived out with a beautiful treat for us as we were celebrating our Wedding Anniversary. What a lovely thoughtful touch. All in all we'd a lovely stay and would certainly return.

Rathowen was central for me. I came from Sligo but was attending meetings in Tullamore both days. While it was 47 mins to the venue ,it was a very easy journey and the cost in Feericks was half that of the Hotel I was attending the meetings. I would have no problem recommending Rathowen . I took a wee walk and enjoyed their little park and the little fairy gardens I was fortunate there was no rain 😂. To sum up ,while Rathowen maybe a dive-thru village Feericks Hotel is their little Pot of Gold in the middle that puts it on the map. It is as good a hotel as any 100 room hotel anywhere else . Maybe not as big or as fancy but I always take Quality over Quantity 👍

Collinstown is a lovely place! The Highfield House offered views of the Lough Lene, and the amazing green hills and valleys that just rolled on forever. Breakfast, full Irish as well as vegetarian, were offered. A short drive, offered options for a picnic lunch. A 10 minute drive to us to Delvin to a lovely pub (sorry I can't remember the name). The food and service were great. Collinstown and surrounding areas were easy and safe to get around. Locals were friendly, and happy to offer directions and make suggestions. Next time.....I will stay longer. I loved it. Thanks Yvonne and Paul.

I liked the set up of the lodge. In need of a paint on door area and entrance. Carpets could do with a clean and more attention to cleaning detail. Towels left in washing machine from previous guests. Bedding should always be fresh for new guests. It's not acceptable if this is not the case.

As someone who travels a lot, this was one of the more memorable stays I’ve had. The Princess 380 yacht is beautifully updated—sleek, clean, and really well thought out inside. It had all the comforts you'd expect, but with the added bonus of waking up on the water. The location in Athlone is spot on too—easy to walk anywhere, yet it still feels like a peaceful little hideaway. Definitely not your typical accommodation, and that’s what makes it special.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Mullingar Park Hotel! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The room was spacious, spotless, and beautifully designed for comfort. The hotel’s facilities were outstanding— the leisure center and spa were a highlight, offering a truly relaxing experience. We also enjoyed a fantastic meal at the restaurant; the food was delicious and of top quality. The atmosphere throughout the hotel was warm and inviting, making it the perfect place for a relaxing getaway. I would highly recommend Mullingar Park Hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious and enjoyable stay. Can’t wait to return!
