My boyfriend and I wanted to spend a night somewhere to split up the drive from Galway to Dublin. Athlone was a perfect location to do that! We stayed in one of the rooms right off the Main Street - room was perfectly situated a few blocks up from the all the action and was as pictured. Communication with Tony was great and check-in process was simple. We didn't have much time to enjoy the cute lounge area in the BnB.
One thing to note - it was very hot in Ireland while we were there, so we had to leave the windows open at night.. which made it a bit noisy since we were so close to all the action of the bars. If you're a light sleeper, be sure to bring ear plugs or ask for one of the rooms off the main street which may help.
Enjoy your stay with Tony! Would stay again :)
