TULFARRIS HOTEL

Looking for the perfect gift this Christmas? Here at Tulfarris Hotel we have our brand new Christmas Hampers. Our beautifully presented deluxe gourmet hampers are carefully put together by our head chef Eddie McDermott. They include homemade Irish and locally sourced treats... One fascinating fact about the lakes that isn't very widely known is that there is an old town under the water. Think of the ancient deserted town of Pompeii, without the lava and tragedy of course! As water levels rose, the lakes gradually submerged over 5000 acres of farmland, bog and even a town which was home to 70 families. In the summer of 2018, an extremely hot and dry summer which had a detrimental effect on Ireland's water supplies, our staff reported that the walls of the houses, bridges, piers and the remnants of old farm machinery become visible. The village was originally called Ballinahown and some of the people who used to live in the town are still alive today and living locally... Tulfarris..
