It was so wonderful to return to Bastion B&B... I had found it a couple of years back on my first (then solo) trip through Ireland - then, like now, Anthony provided a sweet and whimsical accommodation with a lovely kitchen and thoughtful treats (fruit in baskets on the tables and digestives with dark chocolate, tea, etc.) - this time for me, my daughter and best friend and her daughter. The home is warm and welcoming and all accommodations are current and comfortable - in a perfectly central location to see and do all one might wish to do in Athlone. I would stay longer if I could... someday, maybe I can! I recommend Anthony and Bastion B&B most wholeheartedly and wish you a wonderful time and stay in Athlone (as a destination or on your way to/fro somewhere else)...
