Fodor's Expert Review Stanford Village Inn
Dromahair, Co. Sligo, Ireland
With a 200-year-old pedigree, a recent refresh, and a legacy that spans six generations of the same family, this former mill, a rustic stone-front inn, is one of the few stops for sustenance near Lough Gill. A recent renovation added a new café offering lunches such as panini, soup, and "ploughman's lunch" (bread, cheese, salad, and pickles), while dinner steps up a notch with a more substantial local bounty of steak, pork, chicken, and fish. Traditional music sessions are held most weekends. Includes a self-catering cottage.
PROS
- blissful, pastoral location
- log fires and slate floors add to the sense of history
- traditional music on weekends
CONS
- limited choice of food
- not much activity locally
- long way to Sligo's bright lights
