I recommend Shelmalier House, especially because of Jim and Nancy's gracious hospitality.”

Breakfast included special yogurt and locally cured ham. Great breads. Meeting Nancy at breakfast was special. As we were leaving, she came out to join Jim in wishing us well as we continued our journey across Ireland. Also enjoyed learning about the success of the family business, Woodfit Acoustics, now run by two Denby sons. The woodwork in the house is beautiful.

The perfect B&B to explore Athlone and beyond.”

We visited by bicycle, Jim was a fantastic host and the facilties were second to none with a secure place to leave our bikes and a dry room to dry some of our gear that had gotten wet. We had gorgeous bakewell pastries waiting in our room on arrival and the shower in the room was huge with fantastic pressure.
