Excerpt
The Sign of The Shamrock, Dunbriggan, is not, architecturally speaking, a pretentious fabric. I fear that only a lover of the low picturesque would find anything to admire in its bulging, weather-stained walls, low eaves and undulating, ragged roof. Assuredly, any one with a cultured appreciation of the ornamental architecture of our modern hotels would be apt to regard it, with a contemptuous eye, as an uncouth, unsightly relic of barbarity. Yet his loftiness might prove his own loss; for you must cross the threshold to discover the peculiar charm of The Shamrock.
