Spa, and an 18-hole golf course designed by Christy O'Connor Jr. The hotel is a 20-minute drive from Athlone, near attractions like Athlone Castle and Bay Sports.

Pros
The 18-hole golf course offers scenic views and challenges for all skill levels.
Brooks & Co. Spa provides holistic treatments, including pregnancy massages and facials.
Doggy Rooms include blankets, bowls, and treats for pets.
Bonnie's Restaurant serves locally sourced seasonal dishes with lakeside views.
Proximity to outdoor activities like kayaking, cycling, and boat tours on Lough Ree.

Athlone's main attractions require a 20-minute drive, as the hotel is in a quieter rural area.
“Weddings seem particularly magical here, with staff praised for seamless coordination. I'm struck by the consistent mentions of outdoor amenities-heated pools, hot tubs, lake access-blending luxury with nature. For families or anyone seeking a relaxed, attentive escape, this sounds like a very solid choice.”
