Hotel berhampiran Parke's Castle, Leitrim

10 members of a motorcycle club visited Clancy's for one night. Clancy's is listed as a 2 star Hotel in the guidebook. Our room was homely compared to other more modern hotels but very comfortable. It had tea and coffee together with a lovely modern bathroom. Loads of hot water for the shower, no bath. We had dinner in the downstairs restaurant, which was excellent. The hotel doesn't have an alcohol licence, but there is a pub across the road. I walked over and brought a pint of Guiness back with me. Some of the others bought wine on the way. I think the restaurant charges a corkage fee of €5. The pint was €5. The hotel is in an isolated place on a busy main road, but there was no problem with traffic noise. After dinner we went over to the pub which is very traditional with Irish music in one of the bars. We had a great night interacting with local residents. Breakfast was as good as the dinner. Jim, the owner, couldn't do enough for us. He has a BMW RT himself. There are two big sheds/garages which stored all of our bikes. Overall a great night.
