The best restaurants

17/11/2025: Lovely morning, quiet and dry. Nice place for morning break.

16/11/2025: Delicious but it is quite smelly inside.

06/03/2026: Had a very very good meal. Food was delicious. Staff were lovely. Ambience wasn't great but to be fair it was very early. Great value for money and we will definitely be back

01/03/2026: Extremely expensive food considering the product and dosage. We took a lamb saag with about 3 wee pieces of meat. The shrimps where clearly not fresh, and the cost of the starters vs ratio is ridiculous. Low quality overall

04/12/2025: We had our Christmas party here on the 29th of November and I couldn't fault the experience. The staff were attentive and friendly and the atmosphere was brilliant. I would highly recommend the bar area for a staff party. Thanks again and we will be back!

02/12/2025: Great place, cozy and delicious food! Great Guinness! Incredible service by Igor, if I'm not mistaken. We'll be back soon.

02/11/2025: Absolutely the best pub! The atmosphere is always spot on and the service is excellent. Along with the food!

28/10/2025: Nice food and typic pub atmospherr

22/10/2025: The best breakfast I’ve ever had! Breakfast bagel and pancakes were amazing! Had to come back the next day! 100/10

19/10/2025: Delicious Irish coffee and breakfast. Great prices

17/03/2026: Fab hotel, amazing service and great value. We went for a night away with our kids, there’s so much to do for them and some lovely touches which make it all so special (kids passport, nature hunt and welcome kit). Thank you!

13/03/2026: as 3 old pals we celebrated our friend's 70th birthday with an overnight stay and dinner in the hotel. From the welcome at the reception to our sad goodbyes we had a fabulous time. The place is absolutely beautiful and the staff are a credit to the hotel The only little criticism I would have is that the signage is not great and so it is difficult enough to negotiate your way around. Finding your way to the Leisure Centre is not that easy! Also we found our room was not set up for 3 guests. Toiletries and teacups were only for 1 person. We rang reception but despite a promise that this would be addressed it never was. But overall we had the most wonderful time and will definitely be back.

12/10/2025: Very nice it was nearly 40 years since I was last in here. Great little place with a great heart, very nice lovely hidden beer garden, well worth a visit

18/09/2025: Karaoke on Saturday.. Great time had.

25/10/2025: Legitimately the best Mochas I have ever had. To the point where I only buy my beans from them and asked them what chocolate they used so I could purchase my own for home.

22/10/2025: Good Coffee, convenient location

01/03/2026: Perfect Place to Visit ! Highly Recommended to come in a decent enviornment with the perfectly cooked tasty food

23/02/2026: For Roberto's Takeaway & Diner ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had a great experience here. The food was fresh and tasty, especially the takeaway items. Service was friendly and quick, and the atmosphere was nice and comfortable. Prices are reasonable for the quality. Would definitely visit again and recommend to others in the area.

30/11/2025: A bunch of work staff were here to celebrate ahead of Christmas. Had to pay a deposit in advance. Night before meal manager called the organizer to say the menu might be limited and the full menu not available. Despite all this we went ahead. Noise deafening from large group behind. However not the restaurants fault. The bread and dips were delicious. No charge. However the food prices were just too much. 22 euro for a chicken tikka masala? It was the only option I felt I had.. the chicken supreme was almost 27 euro and a colleague had it but it was tiny and dry. Disappointing but we had fun ourselves but overall I don’t think I’d go back.

28/10/2025: We went there for a drink without going to the restaurant. The bartender is very professional and friendly, and the pub decor, dating back to 1781, is worth seeing. The Guinness is particularly delicious, and that evening there was a Latin music trio with Felip & the 2 Eddies—the icing on the cake!

10/01/2026: Great food. Easy parking at back. Great for walk and fab coffee or lunch/dinner.

03/01/2026: Lovely one night stay pre a wedding! Breakfast very good too.

15/09/2025: Great place for breakfast & brunch with dreamy options! Portions are large. A must visit, 5 stars! 😊

04/09/2025: My family ate at this eatery today an enjoyable and tasty option for all 5 of us coeliac vegetarian and vegan included plus good accessibility for a disabled member of our family

10/03/2026: Unbelievable location and venue. Staff couldn't have done more for us. The view from our room was spectacular looking out at the bay. We had dinner in one of the domes outside, we were never rushed and really enjoyed our meal. A great spot for anyone travelling the ring of Kerry, we look forward to returning!

10/03/2026: A beautiful, cozy place to stay with excellent food and a warm, Irish welcome

11/10/2025: This restaurant and its sister restaurant Konkan have fallen off a cliff in terms of quality but have raised prices. The lamb in my order was not shoulder or shank, it had a lower cut flavor which would have been fine if it had been cooked long enough, every pice of lamb had unrendered fat and cartilage.

20/06/2025: Delicious food at a good price. The prawns were amazing. The service was stellar. I booked a table for dinner for my partners birthday, they played happy birthday (at a reasonable volume so as not to disturb other diners) & brought him a slice of delicious chocolate cake with candle and all. It was a lovely touch and a great end to the fantastic meal. I look forward to eating here again soon.

04/03/2026: We spent two nights here over February midterm. I must say it was a very enjoyable experience. The staff in the carriage house for both dinner and breakfast were extremely kind and helpful and so polite and engaging. The views were lovely and the various quiet places throughout the hotel to sit, relax and enjoy the atmosphere were lovely. The staff in Kathleen kitchen were very helpful and gave great advice on what yummy dessert to pick. The pool was lovely and warm and very clean. It really was a very enjoyable experience.

24/02/2026: Our stay at Carton House for my birthday trip was nothing short of magical and tranquil. From the moment we arrived, it felt like we were stepping into a grand castle mansion rather than a hotel. The property is absolutely breathtaking — elegant, timeless, and impeccably maintained — with a perfect balance of historic charm and modern, clean luxury. What truly sets this place apart is that it doesn’t feel corporate at all. You don’t feel like just another guest passing through. Instead, you feel genuinely cared for and noticed. Everyone at Carton House treats you as if you’re being welcomed into their home. The staff were warm, attentive, and sincerely kind — always helpful, always smiling, and clearly passionate about creating a special experience. Being set back in the countryside was incredibly refreshing. It allowed us to completely disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life and just enjoy the peaceful surroundings. There are so many beautiful areas to walk and explore, making it such a cozy and romantic getaway. We especially loved the adorable pantry coffee and pastry shop that opens early — the coffee was fantastic; it was the perfect way to start our mornings before heading out to explore the stunning grounds. While it is a bit of a drive from Dublin, it is absolutely worth it. Just keep in mind that taxis back and forth can be a bit pricey — but that’s simply the trade-off for staying somewhere so peaceful and picturesque outside the city. This hotel was truly one of the highlights of our trip and made my birthday celebration feel incredibly special. We left feeling relaxed, cared for, and already dreaming about coming back. We absolutely loved our stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a romantic, elegant escape.
