We stopped here for food one saturday afternoon while driving past, heading from Birr to Tullamore. I ordered the 'homemade' burger but what I got was clearly NOT homemade in any way. I got one of those flat burgers straight out of a packet of 10, the ones you get in tesco's. We could see into the kitchen! We also watched the chef microwave our two dinners. He gave them a good 4 minutes each and the vegetables were absolutely cremated!
The decor and the whole building in general looked lovely and very inviting. We sat in the bar/restaurant and the place was warm and spotlessly clean, but we will absolutely never eat here again. Lovely venue, terrible food!

In a land full bed and breakfasts with friendly hostesses and good food, Rita and her staff were even better than the best. We found this place by accident, but it will always be our base now for exploring the midlands and the west coast. Clean rooms, delicious food, a bar full of friendly locals (I even learned to enjoy Guinness here), this is Ireland at its best.
