A small crossing point on the River Shannon, right on the Roscommon-Leitrim border, built around a nineteenth-century bridge, lock and a busy summer marina.
Roosky is a small village where the River Shannon separates counties Roscommon and Leitrim, close to where Longford also meets the two. Its five-arch stone bridge, built in 1845, still carries the road across the river and gave the village its reason to exist.
The same stretch of river makes Roosky a well-known stop for anyone cruising the Shannon: the lock, weir and marina here, also dating from the Shannon Commissioners’ work in the 1840s, are busy through the summer with cruisers mooring up for the night. A B&B in Roosky suits a quiet base for river walks, fishing or simply watching the boats go through the lock.
Things to do near Avondale House
Roosky Bridge
The masonry bridge across the Shannon at Roosky dates from 1845 and was fought over during the Irish Civil War in 1922, a reminder of how strategically important Shannon river crossings once were.
Shannon cruising
Roosky’s lock and marina, built by the Shannon Commissioners in the 1840s, remain a key overnight stop for Shannon cruisers today, and the riverside walk out to the lock is an easy stroll from the village.
Coarse fishing
The Shannon and the nearby loughs around Roosky are well known among anglers for coarse fishing, with roach, perch and bream all well stocked in the local waters.
Getting to Roosky
Roosky is just off the N4, the main Dublin to Sligo road, around thirteen kilometres from Longford town and within easy reach of Carrick-on-Shannon to the north.
Booking Avondale House direct, and what the rating means
No fees, no middleman
Ring the owner, or use the contact details on this page, and arrange the stay with the house rather than through an app. No booking fee added to your bill and no commission taken from the owner, so the room rate you agree is the room rate you pay.
A better stay, direct
Owners answer the questions a booking platform never will: whether the room at the front is quieter, how early breakfast can be served, or where to park for a few days. Speaking to the house directly is how B&Bs in Ireland were booked for decades.
