See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

An 18th century coaching house that is part of a hotel. In the early 20th century the building was used as a prison initially accommodating prisoners from First World War Germany and then 1800 Irish from their War of Independence, including Michael Collins. There is a comfortable main bar area serving up to 5 cask beers, with beamed ceilings and lots of artefacts around the walls. The hotel is being refurbished by its new owners and will have two indoor bars and an outside bar accommodating 160 people. Twin white lions "guard" the hotel entrance.
