21/08/2025: We had to eat out the back of the pub because we had the dog with us but the young girl was lovely and very welcoming. Good food and Guinness

28/10/2025: My husband and I had the best culinary experience in all of Ireland here. And I truly mean it was a wonderful experience, not just a meal. The staff were friendly and attentive, the service was at a relaxed pace, and each course was beautifully curated (both flavours and presentation). The dining space was cozy but spacious too, so it felt intimate. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough!

27/09/2025: The best coffee I’ve ever had in Cavan! I dream about it daily! The iced vanilla latte is a work of art, and the carrot cake was lovely too! The staff is really attentive and the vibe in there so great! It’s always packed, especially during lunch time so that says it all!

02/09/2025: Fabulous selection of food, freshly cooked and an exceptionally good coffee which is hard to find at times. Nice friendly, pleasant, helpful staff. Added bonus of freshly baked (in store) breads and cakes on offer too. Small intimate seated area to front of cafe and another nice seating area to the back. Have returned several times and will continue to do so. Would recommend to anyone in the area.

15/08/2025: Our dessert table at our wedding was from Cafe Nua, and it was the most popular thing of the day! Everything was gone in seconds. Laura and her team were great to deal with and they delivered straight to the venue. We had sampled plenty of their delicious desserts in the run up and they were all hits with family members, including the delicious vegan carrot cake. Fantastic business, highly recommend!! Thanks a mil Cafe Nua!

29/10/2025: Gosh this place used to be lovely. The new interior colours scheme is Lovely but the rest terrible. You stand in a queue. The look through the breakfast and lunch menu. You make up your mind, ready to order. Then to hear "we dont serve hot food". Excuse me not even the small breakfast. No no hot food. The restaurant is too busy to serve hot food. What?!?!. Only bagels, wraps and sandwiches. We decide to go for a chicken club sandwich. Which ended up just being 2 slices of over toasted sourdough bread you could break your teeth on. Some chicken lettuce bacon and some sauce. Wine served is undrinkable and way too expensive. Table wasn't even wiped clean from previous guests. Sorry fallen from one of my one favourite places to the bottom of my list.

16/10/2025: A lovely place to stop for a bite. Food quality is excellent and the staff are lovely.

20/09/2025: Absolute hidden gem. The keepers Arms is a perfect location for anyone looking for a peaceful night away in the centre of some amazing tourist attractions. Its at the foot of the cuilcagh mountains and in the centre of the cuilcagh geopark with some amazing sites to see. And to top it off its DOG FRIENDLY! Sheila and all the staff couldnt make us feel more welcome and was so kind and helpful during our stay. Lily my dog was made feel welcome and nothing was to much trouble. Even has great pints of guinness too! Bar food served in the evenings was really good and lots of it and very affordable. Breakfast was amazing freshly cooked for you and lily wasnt left out either ❤️ Little garden area for anyone taking there dog out in the night. Really couldnt recommended the place more. Its a home away from home feel. And please call for the best price 🙏🏻

19/08/2025: Off road parking lovely rooms fantastic hostess. Nothing too much trouble, very friendly. Well worth a stay. Cater for anglers including drying room. Great place to stay. Easy to find in Bawnboy.

20/08/2025: Visited for lunch passing through, based on tripadvisor review. Sat in outdoor area. Lots of positives but for me let down by crumbs everywhere. . A little cleaning spray and cleaning the seats with a cloth would make a big difference. Similarly when i walked inside Noted there was crumbs all over the floor .a quick sweep would go a long way. Food was nice . Bakery food looked delicious. Staff were friendly.

14/08/2025: We visited recently and the food exceptional. Noticed the restarant has had a major revamp. preferred it as it used to be, but quality seating, fittings, everything done to a real luxury standard all the same.The blonde haired lady who took our order is such a lovely friendly welcoming staff, and have always found her like this anytime we visit. Id imagine she is just that type of person, she would put you in good form.Just one thing that made our visit uncomfortable on the day was a swarm of wasps in the restaurant itself, while we were there a lady and her 2 kids left as she said that she has an anaphalactic reaction to stings and couldnt take the risk in staying . Another couple beside us were terrified at the thought of getting stung. never the less, this place is well worth a visit, amazing cakes, and bread to buy too.
