This is a historic pub full of history and culture. The people are lovely! The bnb portion is a newer construction of little row cottages in the back. Very clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this place for good food, fun times, and a great place to stay! Right beside the access to Sliabh liag as well!
Rooms out back are small but clean and updated - The charm of the bar with fireplace and live music with friendly staff and patrons made us feel welcome - breakfast in rustic but charming room with amazing service and food ( thank you Skye) and then just minutes to hiking on Slieve League Cliffs - could not ask for more
Delightful stay
