Lovely weekend

Just home from a great 2-night break at Hodson Bay. We had a lovely lake view room which was really comfortable and spacious. Superb meal in the restaurant on second evening. We got a taxi into Athlone on the first. Great pool area also. Great for couples and families and we hope to be back.

Lovel short stay at Hodson Bay

Had a great stay at the Hodson Bay Hotel recently, it is in a fabulous location, highly recommend the Viking boat trip in to Athlone. Found the food to be a lot better in the Restaurant than in the bar, it can get very busy at breakfast times, but if you get down early its fine. Enjoyed the pool and leisure facilities also, staff very helpful and friendly throughout.
