Mick & Allyson Guerin, owners since September 2016, welcome you to enjoy the good old fashioned country hospitality & all that this Clare valley gem has on offer.

This hotel dates from 1850 and was first called the rising sun inn. by the 1860's this public house had 18 rooms, stone stables, loft & garden. The licensee was Joseph e bleechmoore, the owner until 1871. In 1904 the name changed to the rising sun hotel. The present building of auburn bluestone was constructed in front of a former building in 1907 with the early building later being replaced with the current accomodation and catering wings by local builder s.p.stephens. pre-refrigeration days, barrels or beer were rolled through the verandah trapdoor, into the cellar underneath the main bar, beer being trapped into the bar. a ladder was used for quick access to light the carbide gas lamp.
