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. During your time at Wineport Lodge, completely relax your mind and body with us at Cedarwood Spa.

Had a fantastic stay at the hotel with my girlfriend. Champagne on arrival was a lovely touch. The views and where the hotel is situated is amazing. Hotel itself is beautiful and the staff were brilliant. Drinks at the bar and food in the restaurant were of a great standard only let down was breakfast quality of it was poor. Room was one of the nicest I've stayed in 5 star included. Slept well to a point and this is where it began to go downhill. I am woken by a lawnmower outside my room at half 8 and then for the next 3 hours I listen to a man smashing a steak into the ground for planting daffodil bulbs. My girlfriend goes to the infinity pool where she is met by the same. When she returns to the room and begins to change a man appears at our room window with no warning and begins to put up a load of scaffolding which is not on and or privacy is non existent. The hotel should be aware we have not checked out and this work should have been done after checkout had been completed. Poor management and was not asked how my stay was on leaving hotel so no way to give the criticism face to face which I would have done. Would like to give a higher rating but I left the hotel unhappy and that shouldn't have happened at everything else was great. …

Stayed for 2 nights. From the minute we arrived we were made feel at home & we really appreciated the friendliness & quality of service from all the staff. The food was really good too. As for the suite we stayed in its by far the nicest room we've ever stayed in anywhere. Would go back in the morning if I could.

No come back second time. We had our wedding anniversary and decided to go there. It was so disappointing. The food was not what we expected.the fish was so basic and the lamb had no salt and it was nothing special..the price is very high though. We've tried a desert too, but again nothing special. After we left, we were still hungry. The staff was nice though and very friendly. The view is beautiful and is a quiet place. I don't think I would go back again

We dined here recently midweek. The service was excellent, and there was a casual vibe to the restaurant decor and the staff. The views of the lake are lovely, try nab a window seat in one of the booths. The food was delicious, I had rump of lamb and my partner had halibut. The desserts were gorgeous. We had cocktails afterwards in the glass room near the bar and watched the sun setting. Will return for dinner again!

This is one of the most luxurious Spa hotels I have stayed in with such a personal touch. From the minute we arrived at check-in for a girls Spa night away. Drink reception followed by a young lady taking us personally to our triple rooms. Wow .... when the door of the bedroom opened the view of the balcony and lake was beautiful. Attention to detail was superb, with a lovely personal note to me for a very special birthday. Bathrobes and slippers in the room, crisps chocolate and fresh milk in the fridge (not UHT). What else could a girl want. Spa treats were beautiful and relaxing with a trip to the seaweed baths, infinity pool and amazing hot tubs with prosecco. Lunch and dinner was phenomenal..I cannot stress Attention to detail with balloons and streamers. Thank you so much for making our one night stay one to remember. Its the little things that count. From the staff at reception, the ladies who keep the hotel immaculate, the Spa ladies, Shane at the Hot Tubs the 2 gentleman in both the bar and restaurant we thank you all. Looking forward to a next visit bit for longer …

This was my first time staying in the hotel and using all the facilities. The hotel is amazing, in an absolute stunning location and the staff are lovely (but maybe not operating like a well-oiled machine they should be for a Five star hotel). I had to dock a star in the review because the food was not up to the standard it should have been, we were all disappointed with some element of our food experience at all meal times. The food was of a better standard before COVID, I think the hotel owners need to focus on this more to complete the experience.

Last minute decision to book a night away in the Wineport. Have stayed previously, last time about 2 years ago. While it was just an overnight stay with dinner we could happily have stayed for another night. Checkin was swift and have to say I appreciated the welcome glass of Prosecco. Our room had a sit out balcony and with beautiful evening sunshine and a view overlooking the lake the business of the week was quickly forgotten. We had a pre dinner drink in the grapevine while checking out the dinner menu. I requested a cocktail that was not on the menu and this was not a problem. While the menu is not vast, we were both very happy with our choices. We both opted for soup( carrot and coriander) and it was delicious. The sea trout was excellent and the chicken was surprisingly tasty. Service was unobtrusive but observant. We had after dinner drinks also in the grapevine. We did not avail of spa treatments or any other activities that are available. Maybe next time! It seems to be a destination of choice for couples and groups. While it was just an overnight , it will not be as long before we return again. Thank you everyone at Wineport for reminding us what genuine hospitality is on our doorstep. I am uncertain. If room service is available as I could not find a guide / information in our room. I also checked tv menu for info but couldn’t find it. Had we had more time we would have liked the option to order a bottle of wine to our room, but if we wanted to, it was unclear what number to ring/ how to/ if this service is provided. All things considered a good overnight with comfortable accommodation good food good wine and pleasant staff. …

We have just returned from a fabulous stay at wineport for our anniversary. I don’t often leave reviews but I have to compliment wineport and their staff for the excellent hospitality, friendliness and service they provided to myself and my wife - they made us feel so welcome for our special occasion. The food, drink, spa and the room were superb Will be back and recommending to friends Thank you!

Fabulous setting ... very warm welcome & a glass of bubbles on arrival such a lovely touch .... room was lovely beautiful view... we paid for jacuzzi and boat ... rian was so helpful ... his advice really made our trip ..... really is a great place to switch off & relax .... unfortunatley our dinner was such a let down and to be honest it was how it was not acknowledged that made it worse ... I won't go into too much detail ... but our meal was more than disappointing and we left annoyed on how this was ignored At this level of pricing it leaves no room for this & would be hesitant to recommend...

Stayed in hotel recently with the family. From beginning to end the staff could not have been nicer. Food was excellent as were the rooms. Little touches like a welcome tray and fresh milk in the fridge really made the difference. No request or query was too much for the staff. I cannot recommend this hotel enough and the location on the lake is fantastic. Already planning a return visit. Thanks to Norma, Brendan, Doirin and the extended team for making this trip hugely enjoyable. Damien
