With rounds in bed making, towel folding, and toiletry rearranging, the Hotel Heptathlon is more than a two chores race. Up the game with today’s Groupon from The Shamrock Lodge Country House Hotel. Choose from the following options • €52 for a one night stay for two with a bottle of wine on arrival up to €130 value • €99 for a two night stay for two with a bottle of wine on arrival up to €260 value Sitting at the end of a windrustled treelined avenue, the Shamrock Lodge matches the charm of a country house to the atmosphere of a longestablished hotel. Refurbished in rich contemporary tones, the hotel rooms are plump with pillows and thick duvets, and furnished with a TV, underfloor heating in the bathroom, a hairdryer, safe, tiny toiletries, work desk and ironing board, as well as broadband access and the odd balcony. Guests can dine in the natural light and warm comfort of the restaurant’s conservatory, or can enjoy a quick tipple in the Iona bar. Relishing the prospect of a delightful minibreak, guests can celebrate their safe arrival with a bottle of wine, there is also an option to dine in the restaurant with 15% off. Guests can head out to explore the historic Athlone; wandering along the banks of the Shannon, take a boat trip down to Clonmacnoise, explore the narrow winding streets of the west side or the contemporary shops and boutiques, or perhaps take a quick peek at the castle that dates back to Norman times. Reviews With an impressive 824 fans on Facebook, it is no surprise that reviews for the Shamrock Lodge Hotel have been positive. Users on Booking.com awarded the hotel a ‘craicing’ good 8.3/10, with the friendly staff and convenient location being singled out for praise. The staff were all very friendly, chatty and informative. It is very convenient to Athlone just a short walk into the town centre but stands in a relaxed countrified setting. The periodfeel dining room is lovely for breakfast. – Anonymous, Booking.com, August 2011 We really enjoyed our break at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel. Management and Staff were excellent and made us feel very welcome. Food, drink and service was really top class. We needed a relaxed break and we certainly got that – Tony, Booking.com, May 2011 Groupon coupon  Travel  Accommodation  Hotels  Travel Galway  Accommodation Galway  Hotels Galway Further deals in this category 1. €76 instead of €190 for an Exclusive Getaway for Two including Breakfast PLUS Chocolates and a Bottle of Sparkling Wine at the Award Winning Portmarnock Hotel Save 60% 2. Two Night Getaway For Two With Breakfast for €120 at Treacy’s Hotel Up to €300 Value 3. Captivating Canaries Seven Night SelfCatering Stay For Two Adults and Up to Two Children for €106.66 at the Nazaret Apartments, Lanzarote Up to 51% Off 4. Algarve Family Break Seven Night Stay For Two Adults and Up to Two Children Plus Champagne on Arrival  for €129 at Monte Carvoeiro Up to 77% Off 5. One €75 or Two €139 Night Exclusive Getaway for Two with Breakfast, Late Checkout and More at the Award Winning Portmarnock Hotel and Golf Links Further deals in this city 1. LAUNCHING TOMORROW THE BEST DEALS THAT CORK HAS TO OFFER 2. Choice of Any One Massage From Seven for €26 at Natural Serenity Up to €65 Value 3. Starter and Main of Italian Fare For Two With Glass of Wine Each for €29 at Fat Freddy’s Up to 53% Off 4. Takeaway Japanese Lunch Box for €4 at Wa Café €8 Value 5. Cork One or Two Night 5 Stay For Two With VIP Spa Passes, Bottle of Wine, and Breakfast from €115 at Fota Island Resort Up to 55% Off Further deals in Ireland 1. Two Course À la Carte Meal for Two Plus Glass of Prosecco Each for €26 at Duffys Malahide Up to €64.20 Value 2. Cool Light Laser Teeth Whitening for €69 at Éalú Spa Therapy 86% Off 3. Two Hour Discover Scuba Diving Class for €30 with Dublin Scuba €75 Value 4. Three months unlimited DVD rental for €10 from Screenclick.com Value €38.97 5. One Day Strip Lashes or Individual Lashes Course €39, Spray Tan Course €39, or Three Day Threading Course €149 at Dublin Institute of Beauty Up to 62% Off Further deals in other categories 1. Soar High Above the Skyline With Two Tickets to the City’s Popular Attraction, The Wheel of Dublin for only €6 instead of €18 2. A Thrilling Half Day Kite Surfing Package for €52 with Kite Essence Value €130 3. Ticket to “The Secret” with Bob Proctor Live in the RDS for €59 from Vision Seminars 60% Off 4. €30 instead of €75 for a luxury Nimue Rejuvenation facial including a voucher for 10% off any Nimue skin care product at Buttercups save 60% 5. Wild Boar and Venison Meat Hamper With Three Bottles of Wine for €119 at Ballinwillin House Farm 56% Off
