Pros:

Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen. Hatten ein Appartement mit 2 Schlafzimmern, top ausgestattet. Etwa 150 m vom Frühstücksraum. Das Frühstück war gut, so wie man es in Irland gewohnt ist. Die Lage ist zentral in Athlone, alles zu Fuß erreichbar.

Cons:

Keine Anmerkungen, alles war wirklich gut.

Convenient and clean overnight stop on drive from East to West
Pros:

Great location for an overnight stop on the way from Dublin Airport to Doolin. The owner is very friendly and the room is clean and comfortable. Onsite/private parking was a plus.

Cons:

The room was very small - great for one night - but a bit cramped for a longer stay.

Good BnB but make sure you ask not to get room7
Cons:

Don’t go near room number 7 in the summer. No windows… just a patio into the car park. I stayed on a particularly hot day but literally no way to get fresh air unless you’re happy to open your door that is situated in the car park
