MacNean House in Blacklion

An impeccable experience every time.

Amazing food and brilliant staff

Everything was excellent. Myself and my partner had dinner bed and breakfast. We had 4 different cocktails each, they all tasted great. We had the dinner with the wine pairing. Dinner was so good, one of the best I've ever had. Service was excellent all the staff very polite and quick. The staff were very friendly and laid back. Rooms clean, really nice and comfy beds just not 5star rooms but still excellent. Morning breakfast was excellent the food was so good (especially the porridge ) and the staff all very friendly .The young girl that sat us down was very friendly and chatty. The lady at checkout was very friendly. Overall we really enjoyed out stay and we will be back for a treat again sometime. Disappointed we didn't get to meet Nevin as we are big fans but anyway.

Excellent service, from very friendly staff. Excellent food,in beautiful surroundings.The addition of the heated courtyard garden was a lovely surprise. All in all, well worth the 3 hour drive.

Very comfortable and well decorated rooms. Amazing staff who were very attentive. The food was spectacular, a real gastronomical delight. Neven, Amelda and the team do an incredible job. Looking forward to our next visit.

A Birthday to Remember at MacNean’s – Pure Magic My sister and I recently celebrated our birthday at MacNean Restaurant in Blacklion, and we can genuinely say it was one of the most special dining experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel incredibly welcome. The whole atmosphere exudes quiet elegance — relaxed, warm, and full of charm. Every detail, from the décor to the perfectly timed service, reflects a place that knows exactly what it’s doing. The staff were exceptional — professional yet friendly, and it’s clear they genuinely enjoy being part of something special. And of course, the highlight was meeting Neven himself, who took the time to personally stop by every table. That thoughtful touch meant so much and made the evening feel even more intimate and memorable. Now, the food — simply out of this world. Each dish was beautifully presented, full of flavour, and perfectly portioned so you never felt overwhelmed, just continuously delighted. It was a journey of wonderful course after course, every one a highlight in its own right. MacNean’s is more than just a restaurant — it’s an experience. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a truly special place to celebrate, or just to indulge in the very best of Irish hospitality and cuisine.

We noticed that there seemed to be a lack of staff engagement as if there was something bothering the staff members. The lead server's attitude was unfriendly and of limited engagement. Food was good but only good and not fantastic as experienced on a previous visit. Not sure the entire visit merited the price tbh which was a pity as we would have been big fans

Incredible. Got a cookbook off Nevin and complimentary jam for my birthday. Can’t wait to come back again next year. Thank you for an amazing experience

We stayed at McNean House on Wed last and all we can say is WOW! A really great experience from start to finish. Great location with plenty to see in the locality, great accommodation and, of course, a top class culinary experience for both dinner and breakfast. All carefully managed by Nevin and his excellently trained team, no detail is left to chance. Not to be missed!

The food was perfect. The wine was amazing. The guest house was fantastic. Yet that wouldn't have created such a uniquely wonderful experience without the knowledgeable, friendly staff who had a genuine warmth, kindness and care for what they were doing and who they were serving. Whoever does the hiring and training deserves a gold medal. Every single person that worked there was exemplary, and could teach all of us how to be. I can imagine guests ranged from those that go as regularly as is possible, restricted by waiting list, and those that go as a once in a lifetime experience. Everyone gets the same unbelievable attention. Huge thanks to all at MacNean House. I'll never forget the experience. PS - Make sure to book the stay over. Waking up to have that breakfast was a perfect way to end the trip.
