14/07/2025: Great little traditional country pub. Very welcoming staff and locals. Lovely atmosphere and a great point of Guinness.

14/11/2025: Update two years on from the below: still absolutely unreal. Nostalgia can sometimes give me high hopes but Antons always delivers. The eggs are as gorgeous as they always have been and its a lovely calm morning full of clear regulars in for the best grub and relaxing start to the day. Recently revisited Antons for the first time since before the pandemic and it was refreshing to experience it only getting better. The best scrambled eggs in Ireland without a doubt, and a lovely space to enjoy them in. Loved for years and the staff are always so welcoming and friendly

21/02/2026: A Beautiful Hotel, and great service.

23/03/2026: Dining at The Duck was truly a beautiful experience and absolutely worth the trip. From the moment we arrived, the setting already felt special — the walk through the stunning gardens creates a lovely sense of escape before you even sit down. The atmosphere is stylish yet relaxed, making it perfect for a girls’ lunch, a romantic dinner, or even a special family occasion. The food was refined but comforting, with excellent presentation and very fresh ingredients. We especially loved sharing starters and desserts — the menu is ideal for a social dining experience. Service was friendly, professional, and never rushed, which allowed us to fully enjoy the evening. Helpful tips for visitors: • Book in advance, especially for weekend terrace dining. • Arrive early to enjoy a walk around the gardens — it really adds to the experience. • Smart-casual dress works perfectly. • Consider sharing dishes to try more flavours. • Allow plenty of time — this is a place to slow down and savour the moment. Overall, The Duck is not just a restaurant — it’s a destination. A perfect combination of nature, atmosphere, and quality food that makes you want to return again.

14/03/2026: The bearnaise sauce that accompanied a filet steak was terrible, cold and glumpy..I believe a youtube training video for the chef can help in improving the overall quality of the dining experience concerning the fillet steak, the sauce and the price attached..
