It is located at Cootehall bridge in Co. Roscommon between Carrick on Shannon and Boyle. Its prime location with ample mooring facilities an extensive riverfrontage outside Lough Key have made this property a popular stopover for many captains navigating the Shannon. It was an established restaurant known as Manfred’s Restaurant in the 1980s and 1990s and very popular. In 2006 the present owners purchased the property and upgraded it to a fine dining experience. The Cootehall Bridge Riverside Restauarant was well known for its award winning cuisine and an expanding business.

  • Patrick at Sligo. the Life and Writings of St. Patrick with Appendices, Etc
    Patrick at Sligo. The Life and Writings of St. Patrick with Appendices, Etc By The Most Rev. Dr. Healy, Archbishop of Tuam. 1905 • His next journey brought him to the famous Traigh Eothaile (now Trawohelly), a wide beach of white sand separating the diocese of Killala from that of Achonry, and bounding Tireragh on the east. In the time of Bishop Bron, however, Hy Fiachrach extended to the Drumcliff River, north of Sligo, and hence in our ancient martyrologies Cashel Irra or Cuil Irra of Bishop Bron is expressly stated to be in Hy Fiachrach of the Moy. [1] Traigh Eothaile, which took its name from an ancient warrior who fell there after the battle of Moytura of Cong [2]—if that be indeed the real origin of the name—was sometimes a very dangerous place to cross. There were shifting sands in it, and the tidal waves at high springs came in with a rush and a roar that might appal the stoutest heart. But St. Patrick certainly crossed it, for it was the ordinary route eastwards, and then came to another ford or pass at Streamstown, which led across the strand of Ballysadare to Cuil Irra, just under Seafield House. It was called Fintragh Pass, and in ancient days was the usual route from Coolerra into Tireragh. At this time, as we have said, Coolerra was a part of the Tireragh territory, although it afterwards became a portion of the barony of Carbury, and now belongs to the diocese of Elphin. Tirechan merely says that Patrick crossed the strand of Eothaile (Authili) with Bron and the son of Ere Mac Dregin, and came into the plain called, doubtless from the latter, Ros Dregain, ‘ in which is preserved the chasuble [3] of Bron.’ ‘ And, as he sat down there, a tooth of Patrick fell out, which he gave to Bron,’ who preserved it as a relic.
