"Ardsollus" translates into "highlight" in Gaelic. During the 19th centaury the "Highlight" was located at the south of the farm at a river that runs along one boundary of the farm indicating the shallowest point of the river that was safe for crossing of Horse-Drawn Coaches. The first Horse Drawn Coaches that carried passengers crossed the River at this point. At present there is a bridge that crosses the river at the place where the "Highlight" was originally located. Ardsollus Farmhouse first started to accommodate guests in 1980. Before opening Ardsollus to Guests, Loreto Hannon had many years experience in the hospitability business and is from a well known family in Nenagh Co. Tipperary who ran a successful family public house on Kenyan Street, this pub was known locally as "The Widow Ryan's" as Loreto's mother was unfortunately made a window at a young age. Loreto is highly motivated and strives to give her guests the best possible experience while staying in Ardsollus.
