Modern rooms with en-suites: Room options include Double Rooms with EnSuite and Deluxe Double Rooms with Bath, giving you a straightforward choice between a standard setup and a more indulgent soak. The overall feel is contemporary and “plush,” more like a polished guesthouse than a traditional old-world B&B.

In-room comfort basics covered: Rooms are equipped with WiFi, a flat-screen TV with multiple channels, tea/coffee, a hair dryer, and ironing facilities. Bathrooms feature rain-style power showers, which can be a real plus after a day out.

Resident-only entry and practical extras: A private entrance and a residents’ lobby add a bit of separation from the bar setting. There’s also a bicycle port with a repair kit, handy if you’re exploring the local Blueway routes.

Breakfast and on-site atmosphere: A continental breakfast is available, and being on the premises of The Auld Shebeen Gastro Bar makes it easy to pair your stay with food and a lively local vibe. Guests often highlight the welcoming service and the convenience of having dining right there.

Walkable Athy location: It’s about a 3-minute walk to Athy town centre, making it easy to reach the Athy Heritage Centre-Museum and enjoy canalside strolls without needing to drive.

Potential noise: Because Canalside B&B sits on a gastro bar premises, light sleepers may notice evening activity at busy times.

Limited “full hotel” facilities: This is a small B&B setup, so amenities beyond the essentials may be more limited than at larger hotels.
