The cuisine at Ardtara matches the quality of the surroundings with dinner served in the impressive dining room.

The menu features all of the best of fresh local produce and perfectly reflects “The Taste of Ulster”.

Located within 45 minutes of four top class golf courses Ardtara House is a veritable golfer''s paradise. Anglers should feel just as happy as Ardtara is located beside the River Bann.
