27/07/2026: Great place for lunch, the view is magnificent, the dishes are delicious and generous.

09/07/2026: Nothing negative to say . Food was lovely, waiting staff couldn't do enough and the views were amazing.

03/10/2026: Geared more towards food than simply just having a drink in a traditional pub but nonetheless the pint of Beamish here is absolutely superb. Worth the visit alone.

14/09/2026: Absolutely loved this place, very much a passing through job and unsure of what this country side venue would produce, had chicken tenders and the goats cheese salad and it was genuinely delicious, extremely reasonably priced, large indoor and outdoor seating areas too, thanks a mill guys, will defo stop in again when passing through Charleville.

03/09/2026: We popped in for a pint, and sat on the benches outside. A characterful pub with locals at the bar, and tourists like us dropping in. We were welcomed but we found it not to be an overly friendly pub, with little communal interaction. Maybe the weekend and more pints will add to the atmosphere ...

25/07/2026: We couldn’t be happier that we chose Garryvoe Hotel as our wedding venue. From the very beginning, Aidan was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He was so accommodating, offered invaluable advice, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The bridal suite was beautiful, the food was exceptional (our guests are still raving about it!), and the service was outstanding. A special mention to Boris, who was such a gentleman, and to Peader and all of the waiting staff, who couldn’t have been kinder or more attentive throughout the day. We genuinely had the best day of our lives and honestly couldn’t fault a single thing. Thank you so much to Aidan and the entire Garryvoe team for helping to create our dream wedding. We couldn’t recommend you highly enough! Sophie and Luke

16/06/2026: Worst experience in the Cave bar. Handed menus after being seated and no one arrived to take our order. Having sat for almost half hour we got up and walked out. Met another couple who had the same experience but unfortunately as they were about to get up and leave having waited an extraordinary long time for food, their order arrived so had to eat it. We won't be going back

04/05/2026: Lovely pub. Super place for a few creamy pints. Top class

04/05/2026: Absolute pleasure to have met the staff and local patrons to the Lord kingsale. Noreen in particular was more than accommodating and always happy to help with anything they could accommodate you with. Not many places like the Lord and would happily return anytime !
