The Coach House in Roundwood

Called in for lunch and the staff were very welcoming and suggested we sit inside with our dog rather than outside. Food was excellent. My wife had roasted aubergine and I had Toulouse sausage with the most amazing onion gravy. Beautiful old building. Dog very happy he was given a dog biscuit and bowl of water without asking. Despite the pricing very good value for money. I don't give good reviews very often so this is a welcome change. Thanks Coach House.

What can I say about this gem? I feel I’ve fallen into a photo shoot of the world’s coziest and chicest inns. The food is spectacular, the terms remind you of your grandmothers sleeping porch, the bar draws you in for a long sit and a game of cards in the corner.

Absolutely recommendable. The breakfast was indescribable... 👍

We had a great stay. The room was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was provided in the form of a voucher for the attached bakery. Everything here is very lively and exudes a good atmosphere.

Surprised by the beautiful interior and amazing food. Staff excellent. I don't often give a five star for food, service and ambience but this place has it all while still being very relaxed and affordable

Amazing food, service, and decor

Visited for Sunday lunch yesterday. Charming place with great food. The Donegal Squid and Pork Belly salad were excellent starters, whilst the lamb shoulder was as good as I've ever had in Ireland, beautifully tender. And the tiramisu topped off a really enjoyable Sunday lunch. My Mam is coeliac and the staff were very helpful and the kitchen flexible in maximising the range of options from the menu which could be prepared gluten-free. The restaurant has a wonderful ambience, classically elegant but not at all stuffy. Staff were friendly and attentive. Some may consider it a little pricey but I've eaten in plenty of other places post-Covid at the same price point where the fare was average and/or service was poor, so for genuinely good food and service in the Ireland of 2025 I think people need to be expecting to pay around these prices. I live about an hour's drive away but hope to be back soon!

At lunch outside. Very decent spot. The menu does feel like they added a load of French words just to justify the very high prices. The cheeseburger was ok. Its "fancy word" was Wagu but it wasn't far off any other mid quality burger for me. The chips were perfect. Great Guinness. The outdoor area was very noisy with the extractor fan on since they were BBQing things that day. Ruined the outdoor chill vibe a touch. The service was top notch, they add a 12.5% service charge so we didn't have to tip but worth noting they add it to the bill.

A very cold welcome from the austere lady who met us upon our arrival. The rest of the staff were much warmer and more welcoming (thankfully). The food was really good. The interior is really excellent and what the owners have achieved with the refurb is quite special. I totally disagree with a mandatory 12.5% service charge for every customer. A mandatory service charge is disrespectful to your customers and it does not motivate staff to do their best, as they are going to get the mandatory tip anyway. Tempted to give you a one star review for this policy. Change it.

Food and service were up to the usual high standard. Our only gripe was that dogs are allowed into the restaurant, when there is ample heated outdoor space to cater for dogs. We love dogs but not in a restaurant being fed from the owners table. The menu is very varied and tasty to boot.
