Cromleach Lodge

Frommer's Review

It's worth the drive 32km (20 miles) south of Sligo Town to dine at this lovely country house overlooking Lough Arrow. The panoramic views are secondary, however, to Chef Moira Tighe's food, which has won a fistful of prestigious awards. The menu changes nightly, depending on what is freshest and best from the sea and garden. It may include such dishes as boned stuffed roast quail with a vintage port sauce, halibut with Parmesan crust, and loin of lamb with garlic and Irish Mist. For dessert, the white chocolate mousse can be counted on for perfect closure. The dining room is a delight, with plaster moldings and chair rails, curio cabinets with figurines and crystal, ruffled valances, potted palms, and place settings of Rosenthal china and fine Irish linens and silver. If you love it so much you want to spend the night here, there are some pleasant rooms -- rates start at €150 ($195) per night.
