Lough Owel Lodge B&B descritpion
With beautiful lake views, Lough Owel Lodge is set in a tranquil rural farmhouse, just 5 minutes’ drive from the market town of Mullingar. You can meet the animals on the farm, sail the lake, and enjoy home baking and a game of tennis.
Looking out over the lake and rolling countryside, every room at Lough Owel Lodge is bright and spacious with free Wi-Fi. Some rooms boast a four-poster bed, interconnecting rooms, or historic family antiques including an ornate half-tester bed and a Chinese tapestry.
Freshly prepared and homemade breakfasts are provided each morning and include full Irish breakfasts, pancakes, a continental selection, and fresh tea, coffee and bread.

Review 1:Nothing. The bed was harder than I like, but I am like the princess and the pea. Aideen (SP?) fixed me up with extra padding. What a terrific hostess!
Review 2:We loved the proprietors. We loved the views, breathtaking. We loved being in a working farm. Breakfast was astonishing. I would like to spend a week there.
Review 3:Nothing
Review 4:Lovely place.. really comfortable and clean and a hostess that could not do enough for you. Fabulous breakfast and lovely tea and homemade cookies previous evening. Place i would love to go back to and would highly recommend it to everyone
Review 5:Breakfast was beautiful. So many treats to pick from. Everything was so tasty. Children adored their stay. Meeting the farm animals after breakfast and feeding the donkeys was a real highlight.
Review 6:Sorry- I have absolutely nothing to put here.
Review 7:Beautiful house, gorgeous setting/view over the lake. After cycling through to Mullingar with 'Cycle Against Suicide', the owner was so friendly and accommodating, I had the 'full irish', but it was so delightfully cooked and presented, it felt like a healthy option... with yummy home baked bread. I'll be back for sure.

Review 12:it was very quite time of year and day of the week a thursday night we were the only guest staying there. i wondered if the sole other person there was the owner who we saw little of on the evening of check in. Felt a little unerved but in the morning we were greeted with hospitality and friendiness

Review 80:N/A
Review 81:I thank God for Ms. Aideen and Mr. Martin, they made me feel like a family and not some kind of sales resource. It was our first time in Ireland and they both went out of their way to help me get to town, literally walking me and guiding me in driving around the places I needed to go to for my kids needs. I feel bad about towels as she change them daily...she is such a good baker and all these bread she freshly made. Very cozy, beautiful, homey, loved Sonny and Cher Donkeys, the sheep, and the cattles...Just overall lovely, excellent property and most of all good hearted hosts. I will definitely going back. I trust Aideen and Martin already and it is a rare find that you can trust someone at a short period of time. I wish that they won't sell this property but will pass on to one of their children. Surely, I will be back again...
Review 82:We had to go home!
Review 83:Who needs claridges with the warm welcome and very tasty local food. If only we could have sampled all the different breads scones and jams and thats as well as a wonderful choice of fruit cereals, yogurts followed by a hot breakfast choice. The rooms are a good size with all the facilities that you need. Beautiful views across lough owel and we even swam in the lake.
Review 84:There was absolutely nothing I did not like.
Review 85:I cannot speak too highly of this B&B. It ticks ALL the boxes! The welcome extended by the Ginnell family was exceptional. I was made to feel at home from start to finish and nothing was too much trouble for my hosts. The house itself and all the amenities are luxurious, but at the same time homely. It is in a beautiful, peaceful location with breathtaking views from the windows. The home cooking is first class. Tremendous value for money - I look forward to staying here again very soon!
Review 86:Breakfast with homemade jam! Lovely town with many restaurants to choose from. Gracious host and charming countryside with view pf the lake and garden.
