Stayed overnite in the 'studio' (private bathroom), very special, done up like great-granny's cottage with TV & mod cons. Lovely setting, by a brook. Unfortunately the bar & restaurant were closed (post-CoViD style limited to Thurs-Sat opening) so cannot say anything about that except looks like it would be a great spot. Maybe it could be noisy, don't know, but having met the owners, Mark & his wife, and had a great chat it's very clear they know what they're doing & have. No wonder it's in the top-10 things to see/do in Armagh. Oddly enough the city/county does have stuff to visit. Just do it. Recommended (very), magical, and hopefully back in the summer some year again.

Great pub/resturant. A bit expensive. Staff friendly and fast service. Will return if in the area again. Vegetables under cooked. In general well worth a visit.

Anyone looking for a great meal, a wonderful location, friendly attentive staff then look no further. This is literally the gem of the countryside pub/restaurant/events venue. We would travel 80 mile round trip at least once every 6-7 weeks to go for lunch or dinner or even just a day out spin and a little drink stop here. The staff are so lovely. Basil Sheills has quaint little rooms here and there and even in the remote corner you will not be forgotten. The staff will always ensure that you are being taken care of. We had a family wedding there before Christmas and I would encourage anyone who is looking a rustic, quaint, quirky, country style wedding to give this place consideration.

We had our wedding here in August 2021. From the day and hour we booked, the staff, especially Geraldine & Michelle, they could not do enough for us. They kept in touch and asked exactly what we wanted. Nothing was too big or too difficult, sheils agreed to all our requests and made it happen. From start to finish our day was exactly what we wanted, the staff were so attentive and friendly, the head chef Connor & crew completely blew us away with his food (everyone raved about every dish) simply beautiful food. Wedding or not the food is too die for! It's lashed from start to finish on our wedding day and the staff were so accomadating and made sure this made no impact on our day! The atmosphere was relaxed, which was our main 'want' for our day, and we couldn't help but make a run for it to the bridge for some photographs in the beautiful surroundings. We could not recommend Basil Sheils enough if you are looking a wedding venue or even just to go for dinner or a night out. We had the best day, & Sheils made everything so easy and stress free. Thank you to all the staff.

Forex and Crypto trading have really changed my financial life and I owe everything to MRS. Donald Maureen who helped me manage my trading account.
