This fine owner-managed country hotel just south of Carrickmacross is set in a parkland estate, with its own 18-hole golf course, and serves the leisure and business requirements of a wide area very well.
As you go over the little bridge (“Beware - ducks crossing”) and the immaculately maintained hotel and golf club open up before you, worldly cares seem to recede - this is a place you can get fond of.

It would make a very comfortable base to explore this little known area - and there is plenty to do on site.
