My family of four had a great stay at Anthony's place, a great location to explore the treasures of Athlone, including the castle and Sean Pub, the oldest pub in Ireland (from 900 AD). We had some wonderful meals, pub visits and musical ventures in Athlone as well, all within a short walk of Anthony's place. His B&B is chock full of lovely antiques and artistic touches. Additionally, his sister's store, just beside the B&B is a delight.
