Blairs Inn

Cloghroe, Blarney, Co Cork.

In summer, the magnificent hanging baskets at the front of Blairs Inn are certain to catch your eye. On a cold, dark and wet winter’s evening, it’s the warmth of the wonderful coal fire that will not only entice you inside, but will keep you there. With one fire in the bar and a second in the restaurant, you’ll be warm and snug in no time. Appropriately, the restaurant is named The Snug. With the Blair brothers, Duncan and Richie, having now joined forces with their parents, Blairs Inn is a delightful haven.
