County Offaly Hotels

Offaly is in the centre of Ireland. The Slieve Bloom Mountains are to the south and the rest of the county is largely level countryside and bog land. There's some good fishing in Offaly and the county is quite isolated. In the west, the River Shannon separates Offaly from Counties Galway and Roscommon. Popular golf courses in County Offaly are Birr, Esker Hill and Tullamore. For the adventurous, the West Offaly Railway travels through Blackwater Bog and a visit to the Tullamore Dew Heritage Centre will provide a good lesson in whiskey, the water of life. For those who love a good dig, Athlone offers Clonmacnoise, an important early Christian site which has a middle age cathedral, seven churches, two round towers, three high crosses and the largest collection of early Christian graveslabs in Western Europe. Brosna Lodge Banagher Banagher consists of a long street of tidy late-Georgian houses running right up the river, where a sweeping bridge links Offaly with Galway.

Car Rentals in Ireland

Within Banagher, course and game angling, trekking, cycle hire, boat and canoe hire and walking trails are all within easy reach.

Vast tracts of peat bog with increasingly rare flora and fauna make the bog region a haven for nature lovers. Let Brosna Lodge look after your Golf break. There are ten 18 hole courses within a half-hour drive and two driving ranges within 5 miles of the Brosna Lodge Hotel.
