Is this your B&B?
Claim this listingStaying in Collinstown
A small village in north Westmeath overlooking Lough Lene, close to the monastic ruins of Fore Abbey.
Collinstown sits on high ground above Lough Lene, a clean, undeveloped lake used for swimming and boating, with the ruins of ancient ringforts at nearby Ranaghan associated in local tradition with the Viking chief Turgesius. It is a genuinely small place, and the appeal of a B&B stay here is the quiet and the lake itself rather than any great range of facilities in the village.
The main reason to base yourself in the area is Fore Abbey, a Benedictine priory a short drive away known for the local tradition of the Seven Wonders of Fore, along with easy access into Mullingar for anything the village doesn’t have.

Booking Lough Bawn House direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed b&b
Lough Bawn House holds a 3-star b&b rating under Fáilte Ireland's National Quality Assurance Framework, assessed against the bedrooms, bathrooms, breakfast and welcome rather than self-declared. It's an independent signal you can trust before you book, separate from any platform's own review score.
No fees, no middleman
Ring the owner, or use the contact details on this page, and arrange the stay with the house rather than through an app. No booking fee added to your bill and no commission taken from the owner, so the room rate you agree is the room rate you pay.
A better stay, direct
Owners answer the questions a booking platform never will: whether the room at the front is quieter, how early breakfast can be served, or where to park for a few days. Speaking to the house directly is how B&Bs in Ireland were booked for decades.
