21/07/2026: Really loved the Cream and fruit cake we got here. The cake had the perfect texture and flavor; the fruit was perfectly ripe with a good crisp texture. I honestly have had few cakes that compare. Super happy we decided to get our wedding cake here. I really recommend it!

14/08/2026: I had a wonderful stay at The Boat Inn and really enjoyed my experience. The hotel was lovely, comfortable and welcoming. The room was clean, cozy and well prepared, and the self check-in process was very easy and convenient. The location was great, and everything was exactly as expected. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend The Boat Inn. I would be happy to stay here again!

12/08/2026: Located in the heart of Oughterard with every amenity nearby. The guesthouse has been tastefully renovated and refurbished. Check-in was quick and easy. The rooms are warm and inviting. A really lovely stay for a weekend, or even longer to explore the Wild Atlantic Way.

08/05/2026: An Irish pub with a great atmosphere and live music. Anyone who wants to experience Ireland should have a similar experience at least once.

11/07/2026: Great food, menu, and service. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxing. If we are ever back we will definitely make another stop there!

04/07/2026: Dinner at Owenmore is a truly special experience. From the incredible views of the river, to the professional, yet warm service, to the incredible ART, both on the walls and on the plate, it is a feast for all the senses. Truly, 10/10.

10/04/2026: Been coming to busy bees for years and the staff are always wonderful! It's clean and well organized even when very busy with birthday parties. Liz was absolutely incredible. My son is very shy but she was so great at speaking to him he was absolutely delighted with himself playing in the play center. We booked a party and couldn't be happier with how it went. Staff were top rate but I can't thank Liz enough for being there for the parents but also with the kids who were celebrating. Recommend to any parent looking for a party place.

01/04/2026: I believe in giving credit where credit is due and Busy bee's deserves this good credit. If I could give them ten stars I would but unfortunately can only do five. I can only say how highly I'd recommend having your childs birthday party at Busy bee's. From the moment I booked the party, to when the party was finished they could not have done more for us. We done the teddy bear picnic package and it was such a hit with all the kids and the adults at the party too. Food was good quality and the kids loved it. Staff were prompt and always available to answer any questions we had and they were fantastic with the kids. Fantastic place, keep up the great work guys and look forward to lots of more visits in the future 😊

11/08/2026: I honestly can’t remember the last time I was treated this well in a restaurant. ❤️ My boyfriend and I came from Dublin and stopped here for breakfast, and it was such a great choice! The gentleman who served us was incredibly kind, welcoming and attentive, and the young girl was also so lovely and sweet. I think the prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the food and, most importantly, the service. For me, good customer service is one of the most important things when going to a restaurant, and here we genuinely felt so welcomed and well looked after. We absolutely loved the experience and would definitely come back. Highly recommended! 🥰

05/08/2026: Family dinner, everyone was catered for. We had a dog so we were able to sit out front in the enclosed area which was perfect. Highly recommend the bacon and cabbage

10/08/2026: Fabulous food, reasonably priced

02/08/2026: Very disappointing restaurant! A long hair was found in my main course and wasn't even replaced! A simpler approach would be preferable, and hygiene is definitely needed! Avoid this place!
