The Old Thatch Inn
The Old Thatch Inn 116 Hillhead Rd
Castledawson
BT45 8ET
(028) 7946 8322 (T)
(E)

A thatched pub, on the road to Knockloughrim, that can be easily missed thanks to the bypass from Toomebridge to Magherafelt. This would be a pity as the food is excellent and the owners are friendly. Good food. And, yes, real thatch on the roof. Great in winter when the fire is roaring. The building has recently undergone renovations, with a new dining/conference area yet still leaving the old bar and lounge untouched.
