Anthony was there to greet me at his most amazingly appointed BnB in the heart of the historic district of Althone. I feel fortunate to have happened upon this stay.... with staircases leading up and down through the home - with fun and comfortable artifacts from around the world, and LOTS of books!! He was most welcoming and the arrangement he has with the Bastion Kitchen across the street for breakfast is BRILLIANT! My first-ever organic breakfast in Ireland (not that others have not been good, but this was paradise for this California girl!)... so, I got a bonus and look forward to my return to Althone and the Bastion B&B!!
