Bus Hire

While our on-site facilities are perfect for your special occasion you may still want to venture out to explore a local pub. There are several pubs not too far from Boglands where you can listen to live music, dance, and have a great night chatting with the locals.

These pubs are well run, and are very welcoming to Groups from Boglands. A return bus to a local venue costs from €10pp. You pay the driver directly.

Let us know when you book if you want to go to the pub/disco and we will organise that for you at no extra cost. The bus to the closest pub is €10pp return. Please pay the driver directly.

There is a local bus company that may be able to collect you from your home location to bring you here and back. https://www.facebook.com/tullamorecabandcoachhire/
