You'll feel the difference the moment you arrive. More than a hotel, this is a luxury lodge with a unique sense of warmth and comfort at every turn. Nestled on the banks of Lough Ree, in an idyllic setting surrounded by native woodland, Wineport Lodge is exceptional in both style and service. With hosts who instinctively ensure your every need is met, here luxury and comfort comes wrapped in easy humour and effortless hospitality. Blissfully located in the beautiful countryside of Athlone, Wineport Lodge enjoys an incomparable setting on the edge of Ireland's peaceful inland waterways. Its cedar clad, log-cabin-style exterior is matched with a tasteful, modern interior that reflects the warm and relaxed atmosphere across the lodge and its lakeside grounds. Famously delicious food is matched by genuinely friendly and expert service. An always interesting Menu changes seasonally with the most flavoursome local produce regularly appearing as a daily special. Rustic in style, unpretentious and always generous on the plate... At Wineport Lodge you're in for a dining treat. Each menu is accompanied by an electric, carefully selected wine list. Glasson Golf Club is just a short boat trip away, and a stroll around the lake begins outside our front door. Wineport Lodge was designed to be in tune with our stunning natural surroundings. It's all about having the maximum comfort with the minimum environmental impact. That's why you won't find a sprawling spa with pool here. What you will find though is nothing short of perfect. Two intimate treatment suites are just waiting for you with a range of VOYA treatments and therapies guaranteed to help you relax, rejuvenate and renew. Wineport Lodge - Voted Best Boutique Hotel in Ireland 2013 by The National Hospitality Awards

Great stay, felt very safe. Everything was right about this staycation - all the staff wore masks at all times, social distancing in the bar and restaurant. Room was lovely with a view of the lake, food was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended 👍👍

Was a fabulous hotel and such nice staff, felt so relaxed when we arrived for one night and safe but unfortunately we were woken up eight times with the fire alarm due to a porter lighting the fires. This really ruined the night that we had and went from us planning our next trip to debating would we come back.

We were lucky enough to squeeze in a one night break in the midst of the madness leading up to Christmas. As for most i am sure, this was one of very few items in our diary that we managed to keep this year and what a lovely way to end a strange year. The entire team were so lovely and friendly. We booked a suite which was so spacious and quiet, we had a beautiful dinner as part of our rate, enjoyed the hot tubs on the day or arrival and departure and had room service on our balcony the following morning to make the most of the gorgeous rooms and view we had. This was a perfect night away from the world, so peaceful and relaxing and i would recommend wineport lodge to anyone. To the team, i commend you. I work in hospitality also and can understand the hard work and challenges going on behind the scenes on what has been a difficult year for you. With that said, there was not a moment that we experienced anything but smiles and warmth form you all. We will be back, thank you!…

We had a 'Blue Book' Voucher to use so we de to spend it here. My wife read the reviews and they were all good. I will say from the outset. This is a lovely place, with lovely attentive staff. However, this place is not for families, and I just get that it is aimed at a up-market clientele, but I can't see why, if it's a marketing ploy, or if I don't have a clue, but I can't see where the value is. We spent €315 on a dinner, bed and breakfast "deal". The Hereford steak on the menu was €34. Starters we €15. The restaurant is nice. Grand. But if this is fine dining, give me a carvary any day. The only real issue I had was the bed been too soft. But that's a personal opinion. All said, this is a lovely hotel for couples who want to spend over the odds on a hotel. There is nothing here for young kids and nothing really to see around the place. Nice, but not for me.…
