This thatched roof public house is over 200 years old and was once a coaching inn on the Enniskillen to Sligo road. The complex also includes a store, although today the range of goods sold and services offered are somewhat more limited than they were in the 1960's when the then proprietor, Eric Parker, composed a long poem extolling the virtues of the store, which included the following lines:- "We have bacon,barley biscuits And tea of the very best, Furniture, lino, hardware, Petrol, oil and all the rest, We keep Guinness, Whisky, Brandy, Ice cream and minerals too, Cigarettes, tobacco, candy, Drapery and Footwear new, We are Funeral undertakers, Frederick looks after that, And boy! We're keen for feeding stuff, Ask Eamonn or Joe about that.
