Nestling beneath the Blackstairs Mountains is the Lorum Old Rectory with many draws in the surrounding area: medieval Kilkenny, New Ross with its river cruises and Kildare's National Stud and Japanese Gardens, and the sights of Carlow. Closer to Lorum are a golf course, indoor and outdoor riding school, outdoor swimming pool, tennis, pitch & putt and Gowran Park racecourse. Five double rooms, all with private bathrooms. Midway between Bagenalstown and Borris (7km from both) on the R705.
