Westmeath

Set in an idyllic spot in Mullingar, the Belfry is housed within a spectacular Georgian Gothic church. Using only fresh local and organic suppliers, the food is a delightful combination of modern Irish and traditional French.

Enjoy a pint in what is classed as the oldest pub in Ireland and Britain. Sean’s Bar dates back to 900AD and is wonderfully atmospheric with a sloping floor, beautiful mahogany bar and great pints.

Ireland’s first “wine hotel” enjoys an idyllic location at the edge of a peaceful lake. Inside, though, is where the real beauty lies with exceptionally comfortable rooms that pander to every modern luxury, and a top restaurant using the freshest local produce.
