18/05/2026: Outstanding fare upstairs, terrific bar down, wish we could go more often! And after years, the food is still amazing!

17/10/2025: Very friendly little cafe with beautiful and good food, especially not to be missed if you go to COBH, but above all what you should not miss eating at this place is the chocolate cake, frankly a killer, honestly I have never eaten such a delicious chocolate cake. Go there, trust me.

12/10/2025: Sea Salt is a charming little café in Cobh, offering a cozy atmosphere and a menu full of creative dishes. There are both sweet and savory vegan options, each beautifully presented and delicious. The staff are friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. A lovely place to relax by the sea — highly recommended!

10/06/2026: Room are beautiful; but its the staff that make it the most loveliest place to stay. So welcoming and down to earth, they couldn't have been nicer, well done 👏. Food was beautiful, just such a lovely atmosphere, loved The Mills Inn, one of the best places to stay.

22/05/2026: We had our Day Two in the The Blackbird in April, and from day one Mossie couldn’t have been more helpful. He assisted us in finding a musician and even provided a contact number for transport from the hotel for our guests. The setup was excellent, with plenty of space for everyone. Claire, who was performing, was fantastic, and the food from Trawler Boyz was amazing, everyone loved it. The staff on the night were also so helpful and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. I would highly recommend the pub to anyone planning a celebration. Thanks again!

19/05/2026: Great place for a pint and food

17/06/2026: Lovely pizzas. Great service. Good people.

14/06/2026: Lovely people, atmosphere and delicious food!

07/06/2026: Shopfront very understated- we nearly didn’t find it. Nice upbeat feel to it though. Sourdough bread and pastries real good! Good selection of delicious tea and coffee. Organised and friendly. I recommend.

12/07/2026: Some of the best fish and chips we have ever had. We stopped here twice during our visit because it was so good!

08/07/2026: Delicious fish! But the white sauce ( tartar sauce?) was awful 😣

24/12/2025: A lovely location and great service with a very nice team. Stayed for 2 nights and had 2 rooms on the top floor. Marked down from 5 stars as 1) Top floor carpets and rooms could have been cleaner: lots of hair on carpet which a better hoover would pick up, quite a bit of dust on shelves, and TV was broken (aerial not attached) so couldn't get TV channels. Noise insulation between floors not great, a drunk couple on floor 1 woke us up on one night as they were in the room below. But the beds were comfy, the food in the cafe is good. It's good value for money.

19/12/2025: Great spot in kinsale. Dog friendly too! They have a garden area for those with their dog. The food, drink and service is all perfect 😊

21/05/2026: I visited Oriole and really enjoyed the experience. Great atmosphere, creative cocktails, and smooth live music that made the place feel special. The service was friendly and the vibe is perfect for a relaxed evening out.

17/05/2026: We had a great night. Started with cocktails upstairs and then dinner downstairs. The food was great and good value for money. We were there on a Saturday night and the band was excellent and the atmosphere was bumping. We were downstairs from 8:00-11.30 and caught the tail end of set one and all of set 2 & 3. We will be back.

30/06/2026: A stylish café with a relaxed atmosphere and great coffee. I loved the modern yet cozy interior, making it a wonderful place to take a break while exploring the city. Friendly service and a lovely spot to unwind.

29/06/2026: We sat at a table outside looking up at the Cobh Cathedral, with some lovely wines (after cooling down with a pint of beer!)

09/07/2026: Great, unique location, very friendly and attentive service, the food was very good and of the highest quality. And the portions were very large.
