Michael and Olivia's guest house is comfortable, very clean, private, and well-equipped with all the modern amenities for your needs. The check in process was easy and we were warmly welcomed by Michael, who provided us with all the necessary details about the house as well as restaurant recommendations in Athlone. While one feels nestled in the country, you are only 10 minutes away from downtown Athlone. Michael and Olivia have two sweet dogs and they will keep them out of your way if you prefer, but we welcomed the opportunity to play ball with them:). We would highly recommend staying at Michael and Olivia's guest house.
