We are thrilled to have been listed by Jillian Bolger in the Irish Independent last week as one of ten restaurants and pubs where you can stay overnight in Ireland.

It’s true. We really do love dogs and are happy to welcome them to stay; we often have a well behaved dog or two in residence.

That was totally unprecedented and then we discovered why - they were taking part in the dog show at Roscommon Racecourse.
