Since opening our doors in March, The Bailie Hotel has been overwhelmed by the warm response from both local and international guests. Visitors from Ireland, America, Australia, and Europe have given us glowing reviews, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the positive feedback. Our focus on offering top-tier Irish hospitality and delicious, locally sourced food at affordable rates has really resonated with our guests, and we’re thrilled to have become a favourite for many.
Our story is one rooted in community and a love for Bailieborough. Austin Kelly, who owns The Bailie Hotel, is a native of Bailieborough. After leaving at a young age to pursue a successful career in hospitality in Dublin, he’s now come full circle, returning to his hometown to invest in its future. For Austin, this journey is about more than just business—it’s about giving back to the community that raised him.
A key part of our ethos at The Bailie is supporting local suppliers, and we’re proud to be members of the Created in Cavan network. All our food is sourced from local and Irish producers, ensuring that every meal served showcases the best of what Cavan has to offer. This not only enhances the dining experience for our guests but also helps us play a part in strengthening the local economy.
We’re also incredibly thankful for the media attention we’ve received. Articles have praised our welcoming, down-to-earth atmosphere, and, most importantly, our fantastic team. Our staff truly are the heart and soul of The Bailie, and their dedication is what makes everything possible.
As we look toward the future, we’re excited about what’s next for The Bailie Hotel. We can’t wait to continue welcoming guests to Bailieborough and sharing everything this charming town has to offer. We are very excited to attent the Awards Ceremony on Oct 18th & we want to wish all of the nominees the very Best of Luck!
Thank you for being a part of our journey—we’re just getting started!
