28/06/2026: There’s something almost disarming about this place. It has that distinctly Irish interior, but without the tired pub theatrics. Clean, orderly, respectable. The sort of room where tradition feels curated rather than performed. I started with the seafood chowder, and I’ll say this without exaggeration: it was exceptional. Incredibly fresh, rich without being heavy, and easily the best fish soup I’ve had. A rare display of restraint and precision in a country that often confuses abundance with refinement. For the main course, I had the traditional Irish lamb stew. Solid. Comforting. Exactly what it should be. Tender meat, deep flavor, no unnecessary innovation. The Guinness was served properly. Cold, smooth, almost clinically refreshing. I remembered hearing that in Ireland they used to give it away after blood donations. Charming, in a vaguely medieval way. On my way to the restroom, I noticed a stage tucked away in the back. A subtle promise of Irish folk music, perhaps. Enough to justify another visit. Not for nostalgia. For observation.

14/06/2026: I arrived here with my family on Saturday 14th June, from the moment we arrived into the carpark everything was perfect, beautiful hotel, the receptionist was really nice explained everything in great depth, hotel is immaculate, family rooms were so spacious it was one of the best family rooms we ever stayed in & we have stayed in alot of them, beds are unbelievably comfortable. Id stay again just for that bed lol. Menu is really good, food is amazing, each member of staff that I had spoke with are an asset to the hotel, the guys in the bar in the evening were so nice also. The breakfast buffet area was so cosy and specious, each item on the buffet was fresh and beautiful. Thanks again guys.

07/04/2026: Went there for brunch because 'beag' was closed. I was sorry I bothered. There was a choice of soups on the blackboard, so I ordered 2 BLT wraps and 2 butternut & tomato soups. Ten minutes later the server came to the table to inform us the soups was sold out, all soups were sold out, I think there was a choice of soups. This was at 12:30 hrs. Who runs out of soup before lunch. Best guess: forgot to make soup. The BLT wraps didn't contain bacon but ham from a packet, tasteless tomato, lettuce and mayonnaise. The coffee tasted like it was made that morning and reheated. Oh! take down the Christmas tree it's April.

15/01/2026: Nice coffee. The staff were kind and it was a cozy interior. Didn’t try and food but it looked good. Will note they closed at 3pm rather than 4pm as listed on google.

06/09/2026: Best kebab in Ireland. Genuinely . Real doner meat no fake processed crap . Worth every penny .
