Yeah it's probably the best and if you buy a few drinks in the bar you'll probably not have to pay anything. There's also a car Park close to McElhinneys but might be a bit noisy.

Having had a bit of a dander around the village all the public and supermarket car parks have height barriers, even Jackson's car park at the side of the new wing has one, but only on one side of the entrance. They also used to have a ticket/barrier system to pay but that looks as though it will not be operational again. They have a small car park to the front of the main entrance but very busy and small spaces. The one around the new wing is both open and multi story and although the hotel was full this weekend that car park was anything but and no one checks you in or out there. There are one or two spots for possible wild camping at the ore side of the river but you will have a bit of a walk to villa rose and back. I did notice a couple of other options is you want pm me and I will tell you about them.
