Clough, Ballacolla is a renowned area for hurling enthusiasts, with its hurling team being to the forefront of the Laois hurling championship and league for the last few decades. It is also an area that prides itself on being part of the tidy town's competition yearly. In 2000, 2001 and 2002 it welcomed the National Ploughing Championships to its locality with over 100,000 attendees daily.
The Foxrock Inn which was formerly a Bed & Breakfast also possesses the wonderful fully licensed Mary's Bar and offer's peace and quiet in surroundings of intrinsic beauty. The bar is over 125 years in existence and has served the village of Clough throughout that time. This property is a must see for anyone thinking of relocating to the idyllic countryside as it offers multiple options to the prospective owner.

To the rear of the property there is a large lean to storage shed off a small old stone shed and there is a large gated area which can be opened and used as an outdoor seating area in summer.
The property lends itself to a lot of potential i.e., small restaurant combined with public bar and B&B accommodation for up to 12 guests. It also includes private accommodation along with this for the proprietor.
