Luxury self-catering accommodation in Glasson
Glasson is the crowning jewel in central Ireland's crown, a small village popular for angling, culture, and time spent exploring the great outdoors.
Laying claim to the geographical heart of this island nation, it’s reputation for gastronomic wonders and leafy surrounds make this iconic Irish village a desirable self-catering destination. Known fondly by many as the Village of the Roses, thanks to its 19th-century two-storey rose-covered dwellings. Don't let Glasson's tiny size distract from its mighty wonders, however; stroll under sky-high oaks to the water's edge or simply hop from dish to dish, restaurant to restaurant sampling the finest delicacies around.
A large lake in the centre of the River Shannon, Lough Ree is a scenic stop on any Irish itinerary. Anglers can try their luck at catching pike and trout, while water sports fans can go for a spot of stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking and even try Chinese dragon-boating. For those who prefer to stay on the dry land, there are a range of woodland trails and cycling paths to suit any fitness level. Further down the river is Athlone, noted for its dominating castle on the banks of Ireland's longest river.
