Lovely weekend

Just home from a great 2-night break at Hodson Bay. We had a lovely lake view room which was really comfortable and spacious. Superb meal in the restaurant on second evening. We got a taxi into Athlone on the first. Great pool area also. Great for couples and families and we hope to be back.
