Waited out the rain to walk the Knockma Forest Trail with a Special and catch some GAA football. Nice pub with a beer garden (complete with cat) and super clean bathrooms. Mighty craic

Friendly staff
What service! The staff there were so kind. I was only passing through today but my phone was dead and my kids were starving and within 20mins everything was right with the world again. If I was in a 5 star hotel I wouldn't have been looked after as well! Thank you. Your kindness won't be forgotten anytime soon!
Food was good, handy for a quick stop over. Service was excellent and the staff very friendly and efficient
