The best restaurants

29/07/2023: Got eskimo pizza with ham sausage and chicken the pizza was dry and I swear to god you could break your teeth off the chicken it was so tough and dry

28/07/2023: Really rude manager who barks orders at the employees and is also rude to customers. The food also is not good.

31/03/2026: Good coffee but sitting in a supermarket is not very cozy

01/06/2025: We were disappointed with several aspects of our stay at Slieve Aughty Centre: 1. Lack of professionalism: My girlfriend was hosting a women’s group activity (12 participants) and had specifically requested a curtain for the room used during the sessions. Despite repeated reminders and being assured it would be arranged, nothing was done. As a last-minute solution, a staff member tried to cover the window with a black rain jacket, which was neither appropriate nor professional. 2. Shower Issues: The hot water in our cabin ran out quickly, making it difficult to take a proper shower. 3. Overpriced Dinner: On Saturday evening, we stayed for dinner and were offered lasagna. No menu or price was provided, and we were later charged €70 for two portions, which felt unreasonable. We were not informed of the cost beforehand. 4. Breakfast Miscommunication: Our booking clearly included breakfast, yet the owner tried to charge us for it. Only after we showed the confirmation email was the charge removed. Beautiful surroundings, but the lack of transparency and professionalism made our stay disappointing.

22/02/2025: My daughter attends riding here, it's our favourite Saturday routine. The instructors are amazing, and we love the cafe. We finish the day off with a walk in the woods...stunning!

29/06/2026: Says open from 10.30am but wasn't open at around 3.30pm when I went there. Possibly closed down.

18/05/2025: Absolutely love Goodmess Grain! The staff is incredibly helpful and efficient — they go above and beyond to resolve any issues quickly and professionally. Communication via email has always been clear and timely, and they’ve consistently delivered on time. And the gluten-free croissants? Simply amazing. Flaky, buttery and full of flavor — honestly the best I’ve had. A big thank you to the team for such high-quality products and excellent service. Highly recommend!

04/09/2024: From the journey over to Heir on the 2pm ferry - €6 return (no charge for those with a travel pass) to the return journey at 4pm we just had a fab time. The lovely weather was a welcome addition to the experience. There is an inclined 10-15 min walk up from the pier to Island Cottage where we were greeted by Ellmary. The menu is no choice and I mean No choice. There is no wine list, however a very nice French red & white wine are available to diners. We sat at a communal dining table with some lovely people. The food is wonderful: medium-rare steak with a buttery mash on a red pepper jus (I could be wrong on this but it was lovely) followed by the lightest of lemon soufflé, Tea/Coffee with home made biscuits finished up the experience. We never actually caught sight of John the chef, as we left to catch the 4pm ferry - however we could hear the industry & smell the aromas eminating from the kitchen. Well done to you both. I look forward to returning.

28/07/2024: An amazing intimate restaurant experience. No menu choice. It is what it is and that’s that. Starter, mains and desert service with tea or coffee for €25! Wine available by the glass or bottle. We sat at a table of 8 and got to have cross table conversations with two lovely ladies and an actor and his Kazakstan partner. The setting was intimate and we got a sneak peek into the tiny kitchen with the husband cheffing. The steak and mash on a lovely sauce followed by a soufflé that melted in your mouth. The others at the table missed their ferry boat back and so we gave them a jaunt back .. So if you want an experience and to meet some fab people and have some lovely food try and book at table . Booking open 10am Tuesdays !

08/05/2024: This is a takeaway restaurant . Pizza and wraps are nice, along with nice chips . Reasonable prices for what’s on the menu
