If you’re planning a getaway soon, then The Lord Bagenal Inn has so much to offer from stylish, spacious rooms to award-winning dining and a striking collection of art adding a unique sense of character and creativity to the hotel. Step straight onto the Barrow Way walking route and soak up the beauty of the surrounding countryside as you wander off the track and discover a route that’s truly different.
Retail therapy can be enjoyed at Arboretum Home & Garden Heaven, Ireland’s first five-star garden centre on the outskirts of the village - it’s a must visit for inspiration, shopping and a relaxing day out.
