Dining

The Sandstone Restaurant: The Sandstone Restaurant offers an elegant Fine Dining experience which is unique in the region. With research and tasting of local fresh produce our Head Chef Jean Michel Chevet has created a series of Table d'Hote and A la Carte menus which use suppliers from Leitrim and the surrounding counties. Our wines have been carefully selected from vineyards across France, Italy, Spain and the New World. The Sandstone Restaurant is open daily for lunch from 12 noon until 2.30pm and for dinner from 7pm until 9.30pm. The Cocktail Bar: The Cocktail Bar is open daily for drinks service and provides a welcome reception for a daytime visit or indeed a sophisticated pre dinner cocktail.  The bar leads into a most elegant blue themed Piano Room rich with atmosphere which offers beautifully serene views of the manicured lawns and lake.  The room has been decorated in a handmade de Gournay wall-covering specially created with Lough Rynn Castle in mind. John McGahern Library: The John McGahern Library has been named in honour of the eminent novelist who died in March 2006 and hailed from the local area of Mohill. The room is intended as a sanctuary for guests where one may choose from the extensive and important collection of Irish novels and Biographies including some signed first editions by the most famous Irish writers of the last one hundred years. John McGahern was recently revered by An Taoiseach Bertie Ahern (the Irish Prime Minister) as Ireland's greatest writer when he officially opened the library on the 9th November 2006. Among those gathered was filmmaker and screenwriter Ronan Gallagher who captured the day’s events on camera. With a wonderful soundtrack from internationally renowned traditional Irish band Kila, the resulting short film ‘Amongst Friends’ beautifully captures the mood and sentiment of the day and contains contributions from An Taoiseach and Madeline McGahern among others.
