Lady Chatterton

The room looks lovely.

Skid

Carlow is a very under-rated County. Some lovely places to visit and you won't meet friendlier people anywhere.

And hello everyone

Lady Chatterton

That cabin could be lovely for romantic breaks if it was refurbished.

twirlagig

Stunning place - oozing potential!

Lady Chatterton

The barn could be good for weddings or functions.

Oh no I meant that too! The question mark was for the spelling of his name!

The people featured sell the farm produce at the Carlow farmers' market.

Lady Chatterton

The exposed stone is lovely!

She seems very nice and I get the feeling that you'd get a good welcome and decent feed if you stayed with her.

Great potential have to say

If he could only find a pair of jeans that would fit him..

God, I'd love to live in a converted barn - buy one, do it up! Ah well, I shall have to keep waiting on those magic 6 numbers to turn up for me I guess!

Wow Croneybyrne looks FAB!

TextureLikeSun

Heres karl!!

Mr.Crinklewood

They should have a prize of a stay in the highlighted hotel / B&B each week.

Is the husband wearing Jack Duckworth glasses?.

amdublin

All that organic meat looks lovely.

Lady Chatterton

I'm getting hungry watching this, I'd love a steak right now.

amdublin

Mmm I want BBQ!

Lady Chatterton

Money seems to be no issue here.

amdublin

I'd prefer the barn to be a little bit more rustic. The ceiling is just a bit too finished for my liking.

twirlagig

God, they're cutting it fine!:eek:

Fab floor.

Lady Chatterton

Francis is so right about the pictures and cushions being dated.

Callan57

OMG Francis in his overalls .... spiffing

"A hoe down, the very thing!"

Lady Chatterton

The barn is too raw/unfinished looking for my liking, I love the BBQ though.

amdublin

Did Francis find the least chatty woman in Ireland there? :eek:

Dear John and Francis,

We know you are reading this. Please can we come to your next barbeque?

Lady Chatterton

They seem like a lovely couple with a good quality product. I hope they do well.

Mr.Crinklewood

A hashtag would suit the show as well. Would not take much to get threading, and would be good for the show and the venue.

amdublin

Now, Raw or Mr Selfridge?

Mr Selfridge I think :pac:

Ballinasloe next week !

Hoteliers John and Francis Brennan head to Hayden's Hotel, Ballinasloe, Co Galway, which was taken on in 2008 by three brothers who had no previous experience in the industry. The continuing recession has thwarted their plans for developing the business and harmed the establishment's reputation for staging first-class wedding receptions. The commercial masterminds aim to help the owners combat a lack of experience and knock the enterprise into shape

"three brothers who had no previous experience in the industry". And in the middle of a recession.

Ah lads, you don't need to be Francis or John Brennan to know that there were going to be problems there.

Eyepatch

I used to know that Hayden's hotel long ago when it was a family-owned and run business. At that time, they depended a lot on custom from neighboring Athlone town. Taking it on would be quite a challenge in the present economic climate. Good luck to Francis and John!
