History:

The Retreat's charming and cosy interior made it an ideal choice as 'the local' for the filming of the Crawford Productions TV series The Sullivans, filmed in the late 1970s but set during World War Two. Re-built in the early twentieth century, the two-storey exterior with a semi-circular corner turret presents a prominent and distinctive appearance on its corner site. The building shows Arts and Crafts influence.

This is another hotel, like the Leinster Arms, which has changed noticeably since its sale and the departure of long-term publicans in the twenty-first century. While the bar area is little changed, the famous 'snug' was removed as part of an opening up and modernising of the dining areas.
