John and Josephine O'Sullivan opened this mock-Tudor red brick hotel in 1991 and it created a good impression, with its high standard of maintenance and neatly laid-out flower beds.
The lounge bar and function room both have aviation themes: Sophie's Bar honours the memory of the pioneer female pilot Sophie Pearse, who came from the area, and the evening the restaurant is named Pier 17.
