We did not get to meet Sheila, she did email to let us know and that her husband and daughters would be there if we needed help. The area is quite rural and Glasson is not far out of Athlone. There is a small supermarket at the local petrol station. It is a lovely area around the lakes and a good spot to explore from, which we did. It was a very handy position for us as we needed to get to the airport quite early, the motorway is not far from Glasson.
The apartment was spacious and well equipped.
