If you are a looking for a relaxing and quiet place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and aren’t really into heavily populated areas then Conroy’s is absolutely the place to stay. Erron and David thought of everything that a person could possibly need (which was amazing as we had a toddler with us). The location is within driving distance too many attractions, and a drive through rural Ireland is a beautiful and wonderful experience.
Aglish is small, but the village does have a wonderful children’s playground a very short distance from Conroy’s. The equipment was suitable enough for a toddler, and we met a very nice local man and his German Shepherd. People are friendly, and engaging.
Why stay in this pub? Well if you are the type of person who finds the social part of pubs fascinating you will be staying in a place that was a local focal point for years, with it’s own established history. And sitting by a fire gazing at the bar you can almost imagine the stories, experiences, and lives that played out.
Erron thought of everything, a small inflatable tub for our toddler’s bath, toys to play with on rainy days. Fresh eggs, and shamrock shortbread cookies on arrival. We stayed over Easter, and Erron and David were generous enough to include us in their celebration.
The backyard area is place of wonder, with fairy doors and two very friendly chickens.
Erron was always quick to answer questions and to help in anyway she could, and was wonderful for getting insight on where to go and what to see.
We were sad to leave, and hope that someday we can make it back.
