We stayed at the hotel as part of a large family group (5 rooms) for two weekend nights. Overall the group had a very nice stay. It’s a beautiful location overlooking the lake and surrounded by Athlone Golf Course. The hotel has a newer and older section. Families with children can only stay in the older section - personally, I... More

Great value mid-week break - €99 for 2 people B&B 1 night plus 1 spa treatment. The bed was fabulously comfortable. Back massage was great (she gave me an extra 10 mins), sauna/ steam room/ whirlpool were lovely, staff were terrific. Super clean. Great location on the waterfront. Will return!

Just back from a three day break and were very lucky with the weather. Hotel is great with lovely views and very comfortable. Great staff, nothing too much trouble. A bad experience for bar food. Four of us for dinner but two were finished their food before other two served. Very very slow service with delays so long between courses... More

The hotel is very close to the center of Athlone and situated on a beautiful lake. I woke up early to stroll along the lakeshore as the sun came up and was richly awarded - it's a must do.
