Mauve, Gerry, and their dog Oscar were fantastic hosts and made our stay memorable and comfortable. Check in was easy, the rooms clean, spacious, and had all the amenities anyone would require. The breakfast was delicious with fresh breads, yogurts, oatmeal/granola, and tea/coffee. Staying at the Doonard Manor and being hosted by such lovely people was a highlight of our honeymoon. We would definitely book again and recommend these lodgings to anyone.

I loved everything about the place only thing that needs looking at is the bar menu

I was so looking forward to fresh chicken breast burger

We had a nice time here .
The heritage centre is worth a visit. For 5 euro you get to go on a tour and learn lots of the history of Athenry in a fun and interesting way ,you get to wear costumes and you get to do archery and a maze. Such a lovely experience. There's also a castle and an Abbey to visit . Great playground for children.
The food in the restaurants and pubs was just gorgeous. The people were friendly and nice.
Definitely will return again.

Athenry was a wonderful little town to visit.
Athenry was a wonderful little town to visit. Great to get a feel for authentic, non-touristic Irish culture. The town boasts a castle, a friary ruin, an old stone gate, so many gems to visit! Then the nightlife was very fun. Great pubs and music made for one our favorite stops during our 10 day trip to Ireland
Wanted a spot near Shannon airport to make for an easy travel day (50 minutes by car). Rooms are small but lots of storage. Facility has a nice outdoor space for drinks or food that is private but there is smoking allowed there so you never know what you'll get. Their parking lot is also enclosed in that spot so easy to get to. There are not a lot of restaurants in Athenry and the food served here was really quite good and that's a top option for you. Breakfast was very good and included.
The staff were very friendly and attentive. They also seemed to enjoy working there, nice to see that staff are taken care of. We were upgraded to a suite on arrival and our room was beautiful, quiet and had a balcony. Leisure Centre was lovely and spa was great! 10/10 and great value. Athenry is a lovely quiet spot about 30 minutes away from Galway City. The bar staff especially Eileen were great banter throughout our stay. We'll be back.
Very comfortable beds and sitting room area, smart TV, apartment was very nicely decorated throughout, nice large shower and good kitchen area. Great location within Athenry with free parking and a lot of additional services eg restaurant, pizzeria, cafe all as part of the Lodge At the Old Barracks. We got breakfast one of the mornings from the Restaurant which was very tasty.
Everything was perfect. Room lovely and comfortable. Bed and pillows superb! Magnificent breakfast and such pleasant, helpful staff BUT only thing was the person/people above us were so noisy :( Not a fault of the hotel or its lovely surroundings but took us ages to drop off. HOWEVER, little impact on our lovely stay. Thank you very much New Park. We'll be back :)
We loved Athenry and our stay at the Lodge at the Old Barracks! The people were SO kind and took very good care of us. The "family room" was clean and spacious enough for us (three adults and one teen)...with everything we needed for our two night stay. The breakfast (at the restaurant across the street) was lovely. We're already planning when we can make a return visit.
Breakie was average. Location and hotel was cute and lovely but the thing that lets the hotel down is the rooms are too thin and you can hear every small movement. And it’s just normal movement so this makes sleep very challenging. It’s a shame as staff are exceptional and I love the rooms coming into the hotel .
Athenry is a quiet town. It seems like the restaurants shut down around 7pm. There is a Aldi a short walk from the Lodge for necessities. The apartment was well appointed, clean, and roomy for our family of four. It’s a great base for adventures in Galway, Doolin, the Burren, and the Cliffs.
Family friendly hotel. Staff were so welcoming and good with the children. The room was spotlessly clean and smelled fresh. The pool was fab and we enjoyed soft play the next day at Kardio Kids. I would highly recommend this hotel!
The town is quiet and away from too many tourists, yet close enough to Galway and a great stopping point to see a lovely town. The breakfast was beyond amazing! Friendly staff. Hope to stay there again!
staff was so friendly, in every area of the hotel, breakfast was delicious, rooms were spacious and comfy, the bar service was good, and lovely area to relax and enjoy a drink
The room was beautiful and clean. We loved the special touch with mini cakes on arrival. The Lodge is perfectly located in Athenry- easy to walk around the town from there.
Very nice staff all through the Hotel. Excellent breakfast, delicious. Lovely meal in the bar also. Great pool and great area for the kids to play! Thank you
