Hillgrove Hotel

Hi just want to know how far is the hillsgrove hotel from the ground and who much would a taxi be thanks :ball:

it's the other side of the town, maybe 3 or 4 km from the ground

how much for a taxi

Taxi will cost between €6 & €10 I would estimate. Depends if its a mini bus one for a few of you or just 1 or 2 in a car.

theres 3 of us is the bus station far from it aswell

Its far enough. Go to google maps and put in the bus station and the Hillgrove Hotel and you can see how far. If you talk nicely to the bus driver he might drop you off at the cathedral and its only a short walk to the Hillgrove from there.

will do us limerick people are very nice

Apologies for bouncing an old thread (can't post a new one yet!) but I'm hoping to see a game later this year and would appreciate some info..

I hope to stay in one of the local b&b's listed above, but won't be coming by car, so can you tell me if there are there any buses from town centre to/near the ground?
Or, if i can stay in the Canal Lodge, is it feasible to walk there from town?

Thanks.

Hi Ali, no problem at all for resurrecting the thread. There is no local bus service as such but a taxi should only cost between €5-8 from the town centre/bus depot to the Canal Lodge B&B. It is possible to walk and if it is a sunny day it is a lovely stroll from the town of about 1.5 miles. Canal Lodge is the perfect place to stay if you are intending going to the game and not going out in Monaghan after. If you are intending to party in Monaghan after the game I would recommend you stay in Ashleigh House as it is a short stroll from all the best pubs and clubs in the town and therefore less hassle than getting a taxi back to Canal lodge at 2am!

If you have any questions, give me a shout!

Thanks for all the info. I'll definitely try and get there later this year.
