Description
The Royal Mail Hotel have 4 en-suite units available and also offer free overnight camping to patrons (vehicles only - no tents). Register at the bar if you wish to stay. A sink and toilet are available and left open at night.
First built around 1870 on Clements Road and when the road was put through to Ross in 1878 the Woodstock Hotel was jacked up and then rolled on empty beer barrels and pulled by horses 200 yards up the hill to its present site. Gaylor's Hotel was now on the main road and a stopping place for the mail coaches to Ross so a new name seemed more appropriate The Royal Mail Hotel.
