The Owners

For eleven years, we were partners in a horse breeding and training facility. During those years, we spent more time traveling than we had ever anticipated, following the eventing circuit here, and looking for breeding stock in Europe and the British Isles. Whether we were in Dundalk or Dublin, we always tried to end the day with a good meal, a glass of wine and a friendly hearth to comfort us until we were back home. And we quite often had some remarkable meals.

When we talk about the most memorable of those meals, we realize that most of them were simply familiar fare, but prepared in such a way that it nudged the boundaries of our experience and forced us to appreciate the familiar in a totally different light. Invariably, when the food, the wine, and the fire all hit the mark, we always said, "Wouldn’t it be great to own a place like this?"

So, now we do, and invite you to make it your own experience.
