Any recommendations?
Looking for hotel or house/apt rental in the midlands for a few nights (Portumna or Athlone).

Cheers,
Steve

stayed in the Prince of Wales in Athlone a few times......its tidy and clean and food good.090 6476666

plenty of hotels in the Midlands. Try the Athlone Springs, they may have deals. Why not try Tullamore (we could meet up!), Days Hotel is excellent and should be good value. Paschal

Thanks Paschal, I'm in Tullamore regularly (Daingean rd) so will give a shout next time. Its the Shannon we're chasing this time.

Ta Sean will give them a bell.

well if it's the Shannon ur chasing ya should be staying in Killaloe...doesn't get any better!

Yeah def, if I had my choice its where we'd be.

Steve -Wineport Lodge north of Athlone - most rooms with view of lake and decorated in a wine theme from different parts of the world - also the Radisson on the river in Athlone has lovely rooms with river views and a lovely wooden deck outside for sipping pints of cider and watching the boats go past

Ah perfect, the Wineport looks great.

The Hudson Bay on the Shannon, just outside Athlone is gorgeous and has a small marina and beautiful Spa. (The entire FF front bench can't be wrong).

In Portumna there's the gorgeous Shannon Oaks Hotel & Country Club.

The Radisson is nice alright.I fell asleep once on the decking outside and woke up surrounded by a Holy Communion party.

Bet you thought you'd died and woken up in Heaven.

Good local pub in nearby Glasson alsos - called the Dog and Duck I think - great food

Thanks!
Tried a few of the above suggestions, all booked out, so booked into the Sheraton (looks nice enough).

My wife stayed in the Sheraton last year for a weekend - had lots of good things to say about it - except for all the hen and stag parties
