A closer look
A place with character.
The Longford Arms sits on Main Street in Longford town, which makes it easy for guests to walk to and from. The hotel holds one wedding per day, with a newly refurbished ballroom for larger numbers and smaller suites for civil ceremonies.
There are 58 en-suite bedrooms, and the kitchen writes the wedding menus in house. It is a practical choice for a big guest list in the midlands, a short drive from the heritage village of Ardagh.
