Hotels in Lough Ree, Ireland
Lough Ree is a lake in Ireland's Midlands, part of the River Shannon, famous for its 365 islands and rich pike and coarse fishing. The climate is temperate, with mild summers around 16°C (61°F) perfect for sailing and boat tours to Inchcleraun Island's 6th-century monastic ruins, and cool winters around 4°C (39°F) ideal for quiet fishing trips or catching traditional Irish music sessions in Athlone's pubs. For the best mix of activities, visit from May to September; in winter, you'll find lower accommodation prices and uncrowded banks.
