Roscommon B&Bs
B&Bs in Roscommon between Lough Key and the River Shannon
Roscommon sits at the centre of Ireland, hemmed in on its eastern side by the River Shannon and the lakes it feeds, Lough Ree to the south and Lough Key to the north. Boyle and Roscommon town anchor the county's B&Bs, with Carrick-on-Shannon and Roosky adding riverside bases just across the Shannon's western bank.
Boyle and Lough Key Forest Park
Boyle grew up around Boyle Abbey, a medieval Cistercian abbey still standing in the middle of the town, and it sits minutes from Lough Key Forest Park. The park's treetop walk and zipline draw families, while King House in the town itself gives Boyle a second, older landmark of its own.
Roscommon town
Roscommon town is the county town and its natural centre, with everyday amenities that the smaller villages around it lack. Its position toward the middle of the county makes it a workable base for reaching Rathcroghan and Strokestown in either direction.
B&Bs near Rathcroghan, seat of the kings of Connacht
Rathcroghan, north of Roscommon town, was the ancient royal site and seat of the kings of Connacht, long associated with Queen Maeve in Irish legend. The site spreads across open farmland rather than a single visitor attraction, and a B&B nearby suits anyone taking the archaeology at a proper, unhurried pace.

Not sure where to base yourself?Roscommon B&Bs in Roosky and along the Shannon
The Shannon forms Roscommon's entire eastern boundary, and the river towns along it give a different character again, built around boating, angling and the traffic that passes up and down the water.
Roosky
Roosky sits directly on the Shannon, with a lock and marina that make it a stopping point for cruisers working their way along the river. It also gives easy road access into Longford and Leitrim on the opposite bank.
Strokestown
Strokestown is built around Strokestown Park House, whose grounds hold Ireland's National Famine Museum, a serious and detailed account of the Great Famine's effect on the local area and the country as a whole.
