12/10/2025: Very good food, and very nice staff top 1 !!!

09/11/2025: Great and very nice space! It’s relaxing and quiet, perfect for taking a break or spending some peaceful time. The atmosphere is comfortable and well cared for — highly recommended if you’re looking for a place to unwind, have a glass of wine a pint or two..

09/09/2025: Beamish!! (It quickly became my favorite during our trip.) Interior is neat. Was a nice quite place on a Friday night. Sept 6 2024.

04/05/2026: Amazing spot with amazing staff, cocktails are savage altogether and the stout is mighty

07/04/2026: Brought a group here for Cocktails, great reports

10/05/2026: A great pub/restaurant. Found the staff exceptionally friendly. The food was definitely 5 star without the exuberant cost. The beef was a melt in your mouth experience and the menu itself was very good it had something for everyone. When back in west cork it will be a revisiting.

07/03/2026: Very kind personal , wonderful atmosphere and great beer! If you are visiting leap that’s the place to have a drink !

23/10/2025: What a fabulous spot! Lovely atmosphere, relaxed and cosy. First time here although my son has been encouraging me for a while! We booked on-line which was very straightforward. We parked directly outside the Lodge itself. Parking there is limited enough and tight for turning. There is also the option of parking on the main road and walking up steps (maybe 15). There's an outside area which would be a great spot on a sunny day or well wrapped up. You can see the kitchen from there. You step inside to a bar area where you are warmly welcomed and directed to your table. There are various combinations of seating available. We sat at a high table for two. Menu is mainly curries and burgers but also battered fish and chips. The cuisine is very authentic so the curries are full of flavour and spice. It was too hot for my palate but I blame myself for not checking and requesting it with less heat. The flavour was amazing though. My oh's fish and chips was good. We shared a Malva dessert which was delicious. I had a ginger beer, very refreshing, and my oh had a glass of French Sauvignon Blanc which was excellent and perfectly chilled. Service was attentive and professional. Our bill came to 67 euros. Just to note that sides for the curries are extra. Beautiful location and setting. Great amenity for the local area and beyond. Well worth a trip there. Enjoy.

26/09/2025: Came here for dinner and every dish was delicious. Staff & service was brilliant! Would highly recommend and we will be back again.

23/05/2026: I went here with a friend for a takeaway coffee and I could not recommend it more! The atmosphere was cosy, the staff were friendly and the wait for our drinks was nonexistent! There are many options for people who do not drink coffee also, for example chai lattes, so there's something for everyone here.

22/05/2026: Lovely staff here! Food is grand but could do with a few more veggie options. A suggestion: some salt and pepper for the tables!

13/05/2026: We sat in the sun and had a sour dough toasties. The BLT was really tasty. Great service.

05/05/2026: We loved this place for breakfast. Staff is great, and food was wonderful.

18/05/2026: A very friendly pub, with its beer garden, in a warm atmosphere.

08/04/2026: We visited on Easter weekend and we had an amazing experience……Fabulous staff and an amazing warm welcoming atmosphere

25/11/2025: Super hotel, beautiful location very helpful staff

24/11/2025: Spa was very underwhelming. Sea water swimming pool is dated and not well maintained with pealing ceilings. No separate Spa pre relaxing area to the public pool. The changing room is also same as the changing rooms for the public pool. The floor was flooded and lots of spa slippers and towels thrown on ground, obviously not maintained/monitored. The massage was quite poor too. Would not recommend. The relaxation room has you facing towards a glass wall... with view of a hedge. The lunch in hotel afterwards was very nice however.

24/04/2026: Very quiet restaurant. Varied cuisine and generous portions. Excellent service 👌

04/04/2026: Great atmosphere and staff were lovely, food was excellent.
