If you enjoy staying in places that have charm and character, then look no further. Anthony & Vinny's BnB not only has charm and character, but was clean, comfortable, and in a premier location for a visit to Athlone. Sean's bar, the oldest known bar in Ireland, is right around the corner, there is a pay parking lot just around the corner, again within walking distance. You truly are in the heart of Athlone. The bed was very comfortable and there is a cozy lounge open to all guests. The lounge had tea, coffee, oranges, delicious cookies, books, games, and multiple seating areas. There is art throughout the home along with unique decor. Both Anthony & Vinny were very friendly and their tips about what to see and where to go greatly enhanced my stay. To top it off, you're right across the street from the Bastion Kitchen with fabulous tasting coffee, and delicious breakfast & lunch choices, pastries, and more. Definitely order the protein pancakes, they didn't taste healthy, but heavenly.
