ACCOMMODATION REVIEW
Located on the majestic shores of Lough Ree, just a few miles northeast of Athlone Town, the Hodson Bay Hotel is one of the finest three-star hotels in the country and has benefited hugely from an extensive recent refurbishment scheme. The hotel offers its guests an abundance of facilities and is a real haven for the golfer, with numerous parkland gems in the vicinity.

One of the many highlights of the idyllically situated Hodson Bay Hotel is the exquisitely beautiful panorama that it commands. This too is one of the most striking features of the guestrooms at Hodson Bay, with many of them offering incomparable views of Lough Ree through large purpose-built windows. The hotel offers fine conference facilities and a superb range of leisure facilities, from indoor heated swimming pool and sauna to aromatherapy and massage. Guests have a choice of dining within the hotel and may choose between the award-winning L'Escale Restaurant, which specialises in seafood, and the recently refurbished New Garden Restaurant. The Waterfront Bar meanwhile, is the perfect place to relax over a pint.

Given the opportunity, guests should visit Athlone Castle, which features a stimulating exhibition on "the Siege of Athlone" and recalls the life of world-renowned tenor, Count John McCormack. Clonmacnoise, the 6th century monastic settlement founded by St. Kevin, is another recommended visit, while visitors will be fascinated with Locke's Vintage Museum, where you have the opportunity to sample some of the produce from what is believed to be oldest licensed pot still distillery in the world.
