We made an unplanned trip to Athlone during our Irish getaway and stayed at the Arch House. What a pleasant find in a quaint Irish city. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff more than courteous and helpful! Would recommend this B&B to anyone traveling through Athlone! Oh and the full Irish breakfast was fantastic!

Just came back from an overnight stay in Athlone, where we stayed in the Arch House B&B and had a fantastic stay. Maureeen, the owner, could not have been more helpful or courteous right from enquiry stage. Got a great deal on the price and she was so helpful in reccommending restaurants and bars in the area. Because this B&B is right in the centre of town, everything is within walking distance! will definitely be back

“I have just read the last Tripadvisor reviews for Arch House B&B. My husband and I both stayed at Arch House for two nights between Christmas and New Year, while the country had almost come to a standstill with severe frost and snow, the worst Ireland experienced for over fifty years. However, whilst Arch House experienced water problems, and it was inconvenient, they were not unique. The Hair Salon that I booked for a wash & blow dry (we were attending a local wedding too) did not have any hot water. In addition my sister and her husband were staying in the hotel where the wedding was taking place, they too had water problems.

However I found the proprietor and her staff to be very professional, sympathetic and pro-active. We did have water back by 11am each morning and I know the Owner accommodated guests with late breakfast and late checkouts so that they could have showers before they left. Our room was spotless, very warm and cosy with very pleasant décor. We had a lovely breakfast both mornings and found the private car parking (a great bonus in any town centre) to be very adequate and convenient. WE WILL BE BACK …..”

My wife and I have just returned from a two night stay in Athlone. Whilst having by-passedAthlone many times enroute to Galway we had never stopped over before. We were very pleasantly surprised at the close proximity to Dublin on the M6, and even more pleasantly surprised when we got there. Athlone has a beautiful location on the River Shannon and with the fine weather this weekend we were even able to take a cruise on board The Viking Boat, recommended to us by our hostess, Maureen at Arch House B&B. We enjoyed the fantastic athmosphere and friendly people everywhere. A highlight of our visit was Sean’s Bar, the oldest pub in Ireland, we loved thelive music. We ate in a fabulous Thai Restaurant on our first evening and on the Saturday night we were lucky to get a table in the Olive Grove Restaurant overlooking the River Shannon, Fantastic setting and Food. Arch House B&B located in the centre of the town was a great choice. We parked our car on Friday night and walked everywhere thereafter. Our room was very comfortable, clean and cosy and breakfast each morning was beautiful. The staff were great. We felt very relaxed and never rushed. We didn’t check out until 1 o’clock on Sunday and yet no one was knocking on our door. Thank you to all in Arch House B&B and Apartments and to all we met in Athlone, our first visit but certainly not our last ….. Greg and Charlotte, Dublin 16.
