We had a wonderful night in this unique house right in the old centre of Athlone. It is a charming old building and decorated very nicely. Anthony is a great host and I would definately go there again. For being right in the centre of Ireland, this place is perfect for exploring the country. "The long room" we stayed in is a particular charming room. Mind though, that the buliding is old (which is part of its charme) and that this room is under the roof. It can get quite cold in that room even in summer. We were there in June and had to use the heaters. The oldest Pub of Ireland, Sean's Bar, is just around the corner, as well as some real nice restaurants and "The Bastion Kitchen" cafe right across the street. I recommend this Cafe highly as well as for its food, as for its cake.
