It retains most of it original features, old stone walls, original wooden floors, beams etc. Our grandparents Martin McGrath & Bridget purchased the house in 1926. He extended the property to include a general store, restaurant (T/A The original "Railway Restaurant") and guesthouse. Later their daughter, Kathleen our mother, changed the focus of the business to concentrate solely on guesthouse hospitality. With a special welcome for touring cyclists in an era when the car was less dominant. The silver tea pots & coffee pots used in Mrs. McGrath's restaurant are still in use today in the Breakfast room.
