I would highly recommend Catherine’s Apartment.. Very clean, well equipped, loads of space.. very modern. The wood pellet stove meant that it was very cosy. Catherine was the ideal host, she gave us a warm welcome and made sure we wanted for nothing. Very quick to reply to my texts. The sofa bed was the most comfortable sofa bed I’ve ever come across.. If you are looking for a place to stay less than 15 mins from Athlone give Catherine’s place a try..
