    Ok so i started looking for accommodation in Roscommon town for august 17th yesterday...so far nothing available.

    Can anyone tell me any hotels, etc within maybe 10k I could try instead?

    Not loving the idea of a 170km drive home at 3am....

    Have you tried Gleeson's? Slap bang in the middle of town.

    Also the Abbey Hotel, very nice, about 10 mins walk from town centre.

    Also Hannon's Hotel a bit further out. And there are a load of b&bs in the town too.

    I would imagine you should get a room in one of them, the town is never that busy.

    Good stuff. A neighbour of mine and sound fella.

    Btw it's now Carthy's and not the Coachman's anymore.

    Enjoy.
