07/10/2025: As a recent visitor to Carrigaline from Australia, I ventured into the Carrigaline Court Hotel on a rainy, windy evening and was highly impressed by the experience. The ambience was warm and inviting, staff were friendly, professional and efficient. When we entered the bar area, we served by a young girl named Anna, who proved to be knowledgeable on menu, helpful on all levels, highly attentive, and performed her tasks with a smile and friendly word for all clientele. Thank you for a short but very enjoyable experience. We will be back!

14/10/2025: Had breakfast here this morning for the first time and it won't be the last, absolutely gorgeous food cooked to perfection and the lady that was serving was so welcoming and attentive, lovely cozy atmosphere too and to top it all off we had the pleasure of meeting the resident dog who we were told was rescued 15 years ago and is definitely living his best life now. Great spot to go if you are ever in clon we will definitely be back.

13/10/2025: The staff were friendly and the roast beef turned out to be a great choice for dinner. The central location in the town was perfect as were were strolling around looking for a place to eat. l will, in all likelihood, visit again in the future.

15/10/2025: Cannot say enough good things about the team at Ballymaloe. They go out of their way to make sure guests have everything they need. The best example was helping us make an emergency dental appointment for my wife. While walking the grounds we got turned around. There was an employee mowing the grass. He stopped, turned off the mower and asked where we were trying to go then provided directions with a smile. Dinner is fantastic both food and service. Best hazelnut nut ice cream and also apple cider.

21/09/2025: What can I say? I generally don't like hotels, so I just looked at the grounds. Here, I can say that they left a well-maintained impression on me. A tidy, good Irish garden structure, with a clearly good variety. The café was very cozy, with an extensive souvenir shop.

24/10/2025: Large quantity of food, fresh and hot!

03/10/2025: Was a great spot to grab some lunch. Enjoyed the special for the day, which was a delicious tandoori chicken sewer over Indian fried rice. Very fast and present service. Would definitely go again.

20/09/2025: Lovely meal at the Trident ,it's my favourite place in kinsale ,nice view and great food ,with present staff

23/09/2025: We arrived at night, when all the cats are gray, and although the room seemed expensive, well, oh well... In the morning, I moved the duvet and found a tissue stuck on it: Did we sleep on unchangeable sheets? The carpet, I think, was pissed off by the vacuum cleaner. Anyway, I'm giving it two stars for the breakfast, which wasn't bad. I don't recommend it.

10/10/2025: A simple restaurant with delicious Italian food. In a place where not everything is open on weekends, they were kind enough to adjust the tables so the group wouldn't be separated.

02/11/2025: I really enjoyed my meal here, the food was fantastic and the staff were incredible. The atmosphere was wonderful and the hand-painted art on the walls of the restaurant as well as on the stairs when going up were beautiful, the place seems like a real labour of love and it’s obvious every member of staff take huge pride in this restaurant. There are a large variety of options on the menu and the portions were huge! We were seated by the window and had a great view of the town, and the staff were very welcoming and friendly and made every effort to ensure we were all happy and didn’t need anything. One man in particular made an effort to chat with my family and even brought a complimentary dessert to celebrate my father’s birthday which was really kind, I wish we got his name because he was a very generous host. The lamb kofta was absolutely gorgeous and I will definitely be back to try more options on the menu as they all looked delicious and it was a struggle to pick just one. The menu also included vegetarian and vegan options so it’s suitable for pretty much anyone, as well as a play area for young kids which is very thoughtful. Thanks so much to all the staff for making a wonderful evening for my family, I have absolutely no complaints and will definitely be a returning customer!

24/10/2025: Had a really fabulous night at Salinas, Orla was amazing and was so helpful and accommodating! Couldn’t recommend enough !!

04/08/2025: Will definitely be back for the Turkey & Ham, so delicious 🤤 The breakfast (all day?!?) was really lovely and €14 is a relatively okay price for the size and included tea. The waiters were really friendly and the outdoor seating is gorgeous
