The Forge

Stayed overnite in the 'studio' (private bathroom), very special, done up like great-granny's cottage with TV & mod cons. Lovely setting, by a brook. Unfortunately the bar & restaurant were closed (post-CoViD style limited to Thurs-Sat opening) so cannot say anything about that except looks like it would be a great spot. Maybe it could be noisy, don't know, but having met the owners, Mark & his wife, and had a great chat it's very clear they know what they're doing & have. No wonder it's in the top-10 things to see/do in Armagh. Oddly enough the city/county does have stuff to visit. Just do it. Recommended (very), magical, and hopefully back in the summer some year again.

Anyone looking for a great meal, a wonderful location, friendly attentive staff then look no further. This is literally the gem of the countryside pub/restaurant/events venue. We would travel 80 mile round trip at least once every 6-7 weeks to go for lunch or dinner or even just a day out spin and a little drink stop here. The staff are so lovely. Basil Sheills has quaint little rooms here and there and even in the remote corner you will not be forgotten. The staff will always ensure that you are being taken care of. We had a family wedding there before Christmas and I would encourage anyone who is looking a rustic, quaint, quirky, country style wedding to give this place consideration.
