Wineport Lodge

14 family members celebrated our sister's 70 birthday at the Wineport Lodge, Glasson. What a wonderful experience, from booking lunch to our departure, the staff were incredible helpful, courteous and pleasant, food was excellent, and everybody went above the call of duty to make it a day to remember, great value for money also. Will definitely return.

We stayed 3 nights in a lake view room at the Wineport Lodge, and it was amazing. We have stayed in many places all over the world and this place is well worth a visit when in Athlone. The room was modern and very spacious, with stunning views over the lake. We used the spa facilities, and they were also exceptional. Our favorite was the infinity pool. It was a private session, so relaxing, and the scenery was stunning. We also had a try of the hot tubs, which were also very enjoyable. The breakfast was delicious with a really big choice. We also had Sunday lunch in the bar area, again the food was very good, the atmosphere was great and lovely views of the lake. Wineport is very close to Glasson Village, which is well worth a visit to the local pub Grogans and a wonderful art gallery next door. I am a regular visitor to Athlone and can not wait to return.

Nice location nice hotel but way too pricey! Our room was lovely with a nice view, comfortable enough bed could be better, shower wasn’t great, cramped, we ate in the bar first night, basic enough menu, food was good, but nothing fancy! Drink’s overpriced, we had breakfast to the room two mornings, only benefit of that was there was no tray charge! Full Irish wasn’t great, sausages horrible and rashers not really cooked to liking, however second day had the pancakes and they were lovely, third morning ate in restaurant and it was ok, my husband got eggs Benedict, I could have served better at home, we ate two nights in the Michelin star restaurant, got steak both nights, first nite was really nice even thought the sides served were basic and sparse, second night in restaurant was ok, hubby got the royal treatment for birthday ,balloons at table and a candle at end of meal with a mini dessert, my steak was unfortunately under cooked however they did correct it and didn’t charge for it, we used the spa also, my husband had booked a massage facial for me, had I know the cost of it I would have declined, €150 euro for mini mini facial and mini mini back massage, and of course my skin was dehydrated so was advised to purchase a special cream €55 for this, as he had booked the treatment for me I asked could my husband come down and use the infinity pool with me after treatment, that was an extra €25 and on the spa brochure it stated glass of bubbles with infinity pool experience but we didn’t get! Outdoor hot tub was nice but again €25 euro each, but we did get a glass of bubbles with that! And the lady was very nice she gave us blankets afterwards so we could sit by the lovely outdoor fire and enjoy our drinks, last thing I’d like to mention was check in, we arrived around 430 as check in was from 4pm but experience was very rushed in detailed information pushed down the coriander with glass of bubbles and luggage taking from us, seemed strange!! Also was noted there was no information really in room, about room service, or any services and also which we found annoying was everything was but on the room and there was no way of accessing the balance or any alternative way of paying before check out.

We really enjoyed our time in The Wineport Lodge. Beautiful setting, beautiful rooms and glorious food. The best hotel that we've ever stayed in. Lovely staff, peace comes with the place. We definitely will be back. We can recommend it without reservation.

We spent 2 nights enjoying this beautiful lakeside place. The rooms are peaceful with the bed and balconies looking towards the lake. The bed was extremely comfortable. The food in the restaurant was delicious. We had breakfast in the restaurant one morning and breakfast in our room the next morning. Unfortunately the juice was not freshly squeezed the second day which we had so appreciated. The hot tub experience was nice but we recommend sunglasses if a sunny day as the sun is really in your eyes out there if you are fortunate with the weather. We really enjoyed our stay and the absolutely outstanding service and would certainly recommend a getaway here.

Amazing hotel, luxurious surroundings, superb staff, stunning food. Totally relaxing. Loved it. Definitely will be back. The attention to detail was amazing. The room was stunning, beautiful views. The staff were fantastic. A little oasis.

To say we are having the most amazing time staying in THE WINEPORT LODGE, I have never stayed in a hotel ,that have the most friendlies & courteous staff , who go way beyond their job to make sure your taking care of, the suite overlooking the lough is amazing & beyond comfortable, a lovely touch is the welcome note & tray with crisps,cookie & chocolate with a bottle of water waiting in your room ,food is delicious, well presented , we had breakfast each morning & dinner , highly recommend, we had a lovely in the hot tub ,with your glass of prosecco divine ❤️, will we be back absolutely , we can not recommend THE WINEPORT LODGE enough ❤️

Als wir im Hotel ankamen wurden wir sehr herzlich begrüsst und es gab sogar ein Glas Prosecco, welches wir vor dem Kamin geniessen konnten. Unser Zimmer war gross und schön eingerichtet, es gab sogar gratis Snacks ;-). Das Restaurant war gemütlich eingerichtet und auch die Bedienung war zuvorkommend. Das Essen war sehr gut und sehr schön angerichtet.

This family run hotel has exceptional customer engagement &experience at its heart. Each staff member touch points reflects this central ethos perfectly. Our check in began with the owner welcoming us with a glass of prosecco on arrival from Ray, who is a member of senior management and as we later discovered, one of the owners. This was a very welcome surprise but only a seaway as to what was to follow. Molly, managed the reception desk like a captain of an ocean going vessel. Deft almost imperceptible touches brought us through the process seamlessly. We were brought through to the bar area for our lunch and once again, the customer centricity ethos shone through. Catalogue took our order after offering his personal favourite dishes from a well considered menu. My chowder was the best I have enjoyed in Ireland to date, and this is a go to dish for me. The Guinness bread was super, the perfect accompaniment. Later, our room offered an absolutely dynamic view of our end of Lough Ree, sweet! Dinner was a trip down seafood central as we opted for the seafood sharing dish (which I would earnestly recommend) and gound a gru vee on the wine menu. Kash was a muse of information and was delighted to impart his intricate & indepth knowledge of the wine menu. The professionalism that each and every waiter on the floor was shining through. At this stage, you can clearly see that my experience here was exemplary. When you can come here, book a place and unwind. We will be back.
