Stayed on a busy Friday night but staff coped admirably with wedding party and corporate groups. Excellent meal and room of high quality - even had a bath and separate shower. Breakfast was v good with black and white puddings. Would recommend.

Myself and two friends stayed here on Saturday night. We loved the location and enjoyed a Viking boat trip on Saturday afternoon from right outside the hotel. Hotel reception advised us of the sail times on check in. The girl on reception was friendly at check in. Our room was fine, not very luxurious but spotlessly clean and the beds... More

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!
