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, with beamed ceilings and lots of artefacts around the walls. While it has 5 handpulls on the main bar, ale is rarely sold out of season. Twin white lions "guard" the hotel entrance.
