13/04/2026: Lovely pub, good beer & food. Knocked down a star because of the older manager berating staff behind the counter while they tried to do their jobs, owners need to give him the marching order ASAP, would visit again, hopefully when that individual isn't there.

06/04/2026: Great food, tasty and not too expensive

17/04/2026: Probably the best garden center in the country. Lovely cafe.

15/04/2026: Great place called in about a week ago looking for a cherry blossom tree & Sinead went out her way to get us one from Kilquade a week later . Great service & she rang & was there when we collected it. Very fair price. Keep up the good work. James Brennan

29/05/2026: The staff are wonderful in every respect. The breakfast is really good, as is the dinner in the restaurant. The room was large with a charming, old-world feel.

28/05/2026: This hotel is about as big as the town itself. My room was very nice, even with the bathtub. The double bed was large and comfortable. My only disappointment was that the light switches were only on one side of the bed. It was a bit tricky to get back in late at night, with all the signs to follow and the doorbell to ring. It would be nice, like many places, to just put down the room paper. The breakfast was really plentiful and fresh. Dinner was very good and varied, although one evening the pork ribs were only lukewarm.

13/06/2026: Just strange the front staff has to give the orders on post-it to the grill staff, although they type orders in the POS.

23/05/2026: Manager and staff very friendly.Food top class.

05/05/2026: The food is always just incredible here, both evening dining and Sunday lunch. Surprisingly reasonable prices. And their wine selection is wonderful - as are the hosts and staff. Just a really beautiful place for a special meal.

19/04/2026: Outstanding food, really lovely staff and a great atmosphere. 100% worth travelling for. We'll be back.

23/02/2026: Lovely pub. Guinness is great 👌

06/06/2025: Ducked in out of the rain and was treated to some good coffee and nice muffin. Recommend it for the warm greeting by staff alone. Stop in

22/04/2025: Croissants were fresh & light. You could tell care was taken. This is the bakery for you.

28/12/2025: Gorgeous lunch, lovely staff, will be back 👌

17/12/2025: I’ve been here a few times and have never left disappointed. Excellent Italian coffee, yummy cakes and delicious lunches. The cook delivers your food to the table which is a nice touch. Next time I’m in Carlow I’ll definitely visit again.

07/12/2025: Small gardens and you need to pay fee even to enter coffee shop (not gardens). And queue, of course. Everything is very slow like it is supposed to be in this kind of gardens.

08/11/2025: Well worth a visit! A really magical garden walk with lots of hidden gems!
