Wineport Lodge  

On the banks of Lough Ree in Glassan, just outside Athlone. This lakeside boutique hotel sits in native woodland with a cedar-clad, log-cabin-style look and modern interiors. A short boat trip reaches Glasson Golf Club, and Athlone shopping and family attractions are close by—ideal for couples and family-friendly breaks.

Rustic-meets-modern vibes: cedar exterior, warm contemporary rooms and lakeside grounds. The property has 29 guestrooms, many with private furnished balconies or terraces, select rooms with air conditioning, minibars, DVD players and in-room tea/coffee facilities. The hotel is smoke-free and offers luggage storage, safety deposit boxes and attentive front-desk service.

Cedarwood Spa, massage rooms, hot tub and sauna for serious unwinding. Take a dip in the pool or stroll straight onto the lakeside beach and walking routes. On-site bar, room service, complimentary Wi‑Fi and free self-parking keep things easy. Laundry, dry-cleaning and accessible facilities are available.

Four meeting rooms available for events and conferences. Complimentary wireless Internet throughout the property and free on-site parking make business stays straightforward.

A restaurant and bar serve a seasonal menu that champions local produce and an electric, carefully selected wine list. Mornings start with a complimentary homemade breakfast. Expect generous, rustic plates and friendly service that feels more like a local table than a hotel meal.
