The best restaurants

31/12/2024: I would give any money for the Shell bun recipe

26/10/2024: Ordered a birthday cake for my husband and the cake was unbelievable. So delicious and very cheap compared to other bakeries. Will definitely come back.

21/11/2024: Won't be back not happy with the price and what we received in return...overrated and overpriced

29/08/2025: Ordered off just eat and they said delivered and wasn’t delivered and never answered phone calls after and left us here for over a hour saying delivering yet no delivery

16/07/2025: Had such a bad experience tonight after phoning to enquire about pre ordering a large order for a community group session the next day. I had tried to make my booking online but pre order was only letting me order up to 2.5 hours before. Decided to ring, phone was answered by staff member without any indication that it was in fact Pizza Max just an abrupt hello. I explained my query and found it very difficult to make out what he was saying he just kept saying this is Dublin, who are you, why you phone from UK number. Again I explained but to no avail just kept waffling something about his brother and Dublin and being ignorant. I waited an hour and rang back hoping I would get another member of staff but unfortunately got the same one! This time he was even more ignorant again I tried to explain and said I wanted to pre order approx 300 euro order and to make sure it was confirmed would pay by credit card upfront. He told me we only take cash on delivery who are you we can't take your order and hung up the phone. Ordered from Apache 10mins later stress free helpful staff member paid by card told me any probs call back. You just lost good business and treated me like dirt never seen customer service like it!

30/09/2025: Shauna and Amy are lovely, nice and warm bar to have a good chat and pint highly recommend, shame there's not more like this one

12/08/2024: Everything needs a makeover. The pool area is full of mold, rust and other substances that do not belong there, the rooms look okay at first glance but are old and dirty if you take a closer look. Avoid looking behind the window shutters in room 15. A Disgusting mix of mold dirt, old wallpaper, insects and other disgusting things. The service in the bar was mediocre and slow the breakfast among the least convincing we have had in three weeks. Even 2 Star guesthouses managed to produce a better breakfast than this.

10/08/2024: To start off the stay, check in was very unprofessional. Check in is at 3pm and we arrived at 3.15pm and waited for 5 mins at reception in front of a sign that read "ring the bell for assistance" with no sign of any bell. There was clearly someone in the office behind with a child, and they didn't acknowledge us. A waitress came over and eventually checked us in. Why is the reception not attended by a receptionist at the time of check in? The whole place absolutely stinks of damp and mold, possibly because the ancient windows are jammed shut and do not appear to open. After 1 pint of Guinness, I asked for a second and was informed the bar had ran out of Guinness. Yes, ran out of Guinness... in Ireland. Very poor bar management. The mattress in room 1 was very uncomfortable. Again, the windows didn't open and the small room became very stuffy. The floors, particularly where breakfast is served, are extremely sticky to the point my flip flop got stuck to the floor as I was walking. It clearly never gets mopped. The breakfast was an absolute disaster. Breakfast starts at 8am, we booked for 9am. Almost every table was dirty and uncleared. There were no bowls for cereal. I asked for a pastry as they were on the breakfast menu, and was told there were none left. So within 1 hour every pastry in the hotel had been eaten. I asked for a cappuccino and was told that would be an extra charge. The breakfast menu has "creamy scrambled egg", however it is clearly microwaved in a massive bowl and chopped up with a knife. It's flavourless and the texture is absolutely disgusting. The place needs to be deep cleaned, aired out and painted. Also, why is nearly every picture on the walls crooked? It seems like nobody takes any pride in the appearance of the place. It's very poor value for money considering a 4 star hotel nearby was only 20 euro more expensive for the night.
