Book A Lakeside Break At Wineport Lodge
By The Gloss
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH WINEPORT LODGE
Your chance to enjoy a midweek escape …
More home than hotel, Wineport is a luxury lakeshore lodge with a unique sense of style, cosiness and comfort at every turn. Nestled on the banks of Lough Ree in Co Athlone, this haven of tranquility, surrounded by water and native woodland, is the perfect place to do everything and nothing, whatever the season.
Stay in a deluxe lakeview room with views over the lough from your own private balcony, breakfast at your leisure each morning, enjoy dinner in the evening, and a relaxing outdoor hot tub experience for two.
The hotel’s Cedarwood Spa has been created to deliver sheer luxury, pampering and relaxation. Ease into the calm of one of the intimate cedar-clad cabins for your treatment of choice in the expert hands of the spa’s highly-skilled therapists, surrounded by therapeutic scents of rich VOYA creams, oils and soft linens.
On the spa’s lower level, the Infinity Plunge Pool sits within touching distance of the lake, while the Wineport Lodge’s floating hot tub pontoon is a unique setting for sitting back under open skies, enjoying a chilled glass of Prosecco and watching your worries drift off into the distance.
With such a wealth of activities right on the doorstep, endorphin-rich exercise comes as a happy by-product of simply getting out there and having some fun.
Pack a picnic and spend the daylight hours exploring one of the many picturesque walking trails passing through pretty villages, dappled woodland, small shoreline pathways and rich bogland. Or take to two wheels and embark on 42km of brilliant biking along the dedicated cycle path that follows the old rail track under arched bridges, through tunnels and past beautiful countryside all the way from Athlone to Mullingar.
Seamlessly transition from land to lake and become captain for the day navigating the Inner Lakes of Lough Ree in the resort’s Whaly or Electric boats. Looking to get your feet wet? Take in the captivating scenery by paddle board – the perfect way for couples, friends or families to have fun on the water.
You don’t need to venture out into the elements all the time, or even at all! Homebirds looking to hibernate have found the perfect hideaway. Indulge in a delicious afternoon tea in the light-filled lounge, sit back with a whiskey next to the log fires, dine on delicious local produce in the rustic dining room, or retire to one of the spacious bedrooms or suites with a bottle of wine
Whatever your staycation style, Wineport Lodge is the grand cru of country escapes. www.wineport.ie
