Overlooking Lough Ree near Athlone, Ray Byrne and Jane English’s lovely lakeside lodge originally styled itself ‘Ireland’s first wine hotel’ and, given the area’s history of wine connections (going right back to 542AD, as detailed on the impressive and informative wine list), that seems inspired.
The accommodation - which offers thirty beautiful rooms (all with private balconies overlooking the lake) a hot tub and treatment rooms - is nothing less than stunning. Luxurious, romantic, beautiful, businesslike, Wineport is a place of many moods.
Once you enter your guest key card, you step into a different world - and it’s one offering an outstanding food experience too, where accomplished cooking and pleasing presentation of the best local ingredients make for memorable meals in this beautiful waterside setting.
Simply magic.
The lucky winner of this free competition will have a midweek break for two people sharing (subject to availability), to include:
