16/03/2026: Very disappointed with our meal here. After getting a recommendation, we decided to have Sunday lunch here. We were told that no tables were available until 16:30, so we booked for then. We duly turned up at that time,and they tried to seat us in the wrong part. After pointing this out, we were taken to find a virtually empty restaurant. So, why having to wait until 16:30 for lunch? The young staff ignored us for a while until we called one of them over. We chose the Sunday roast, which was a very limited menu (2 starters, 4 mains, 2 desserts). We ordered, only to be told that they had run out of lamb. Have you been around Donegal? What is there a lot of? Sheep! The chowder was rather thin and the vegetable soup uninspiring. The mains were OK (just), although the Yorkshire puddings looked like Aunt Bessie's and were tepid. I chose the crumble for dessert and asked for it, and the custard, to be very hot. So, of course, when it arrived it was stone cold (not even warm). That got sent back... Overall - very poor quality and we won't be returning.

02/02/2026: Papa Johns has NEVER disappointed me. It is my favourite brand of pizza. I am willing to drive an hour currently, just to treat myself to Papa Johns. I love it! I told my partner that my ideal wedding would feature Papa Johns as the main menu, lol

11/11/2025: Omg it is the best restraint in the world and staff are do kind.

02/11/2025: The girl was very kind and helped us get assistance to change our flat tires, so nice and warm, I'll never forget you. Thanks you so much, you save my life. Grettings from México 🇲🇽 ¿Necesitas algo más?

03/10/2025: Stopped for a coffee on the way to Rosapenna. We needed a caffeine boost and found the perfect spot. A lovely sunny Sunday afternoon and this place was busy! Always a good sign. One staff member on duty behind the counter so had to wait a little while. We had our coffees and some cake outside in the courtyard area, enjoying the Autumn rays 😎 Great experience Would recommend 👌
