“Travelling the company of those we love, is home in motion”
Caoimhe McG, Thebighillhouse visited Westmeath recently to check out some of our fabulous restaurants, hotels and attractions.
Here's what she said:
'Bloomfield House Hotel, Leisure Club & Spa is the perfect base for all the adventures and their newly refurbished family den rooms are suitable for families up to 6. Their leisure facilities are excellent and we had a delicious lunch, dinner and breakfast.
Mollie Moo's Pet Farm was a huge hit with the kids and a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
Belvedere House Gardens & Park is the most beautiful setting for a walk and the kids really enjoyed the audio tour. The zip line at the end was a huge hit.
We finished off our trip with lunch and stroll around Mullingar Pewter Home & Living where I got to meet the lovely owner of this 3rd generation family business and hear all about what’s to come.
We didn’t get to experience the Royal Canal Greenway but we will definitely be back!
Westmeath thanks for having us. You are beautiful!'
