Benown House B&B
Kid-friendly B&B with breakfast included
About this hotel
Benown House B&B offers kid-friendly rooms in Athlone with breakfast, free Wi-Fi and free parking, a short drive from the Baysports inflatable waterpark on Lough Ree. Families can start the day fed and ready before heading for the lake, useful with children who need a set routine before a physically active afternoon on the inflatable slides. The simple, personal setting suits a household wanting a straightforward base rather than a large hotel, with free parking covering the daily drives to and from Hodson Bay without extra cost. Little else about the stay competes for attention once the Baysports session itself is booked. Confirm current room details and rates directly with the property when booking your stay.

Our take
Benown House B&B suits families wanting a simple, breakfast-included base near Athlone rather than a full-service hotel with its own leisure facilities. It has fewer rooms than the larger properties on this list, so book ahead for busy Baysports weekends. Confirm current details directly with the property before booking your stay. It is a sensible, low-effort choice for a Baysports-focused visit.
- ✓Breakfast is included, so eat before the drive to make an early Baysports session slot.
- ✓Book ahead for Irish school holidays; this smaller B&B has limited rooms.
- ✓Free parking covers the daily drives to and from Hodson Bay without extra cost.

Why guests love itBreakfast at Benown House B&B set our kids up well for physically busy days at Baysports, and the kid-friendly, personal setting suited us better than a large hotel with a busy lobby. Free parking meant the daily drives to and from the lake never added to the cost of the stay itself. It suited the pace of a family trip built mostly around the lake.
