Hotels in Westmeath, Ireland

Westmeath is a landlocked county in central Ireland, famous for its network of lakes like Lough Ree and Lough Derravaragh. The climate is mild and damp, with summers averaging 68°F (20°C) ideal for kayaking on the River Shannon, while cooler winters around 40°F (4°C) are perfect for touring Fore Abbey's 13th-century ruins or catching traditional Irish music sessions in a Mullingar pub. In spring, you can cycle the Old Rail Trail without crowds, and autumn offers great trout fishing on Lough Derravaragh-where the legend of the Children of Lir begins.
