09/05/2026: I was in there for dinner and it was really disappointing. Chips were raw. Dishes weren't described as they came. There was a bone in the chicken dish and everything had no flavour and lacked salt. Very disappointing wont be coming again

03/05/2026: Very friendly service. You can eat in peace and quiet at an affordable price.

25/10/2025: Staff and proprietor courtious and friendly

02/03/2026: I can't recommend this cafe/diner enough .Food is great and value for money , service and staff excellent

28/02/2026: Generous portion of eggs Benedict - perfectly cooked, great price and service

20/05/2026: We visited yesterday and were left genuinely disappointed by our experience. We ordered 2 pints, chicken wings, and garlic cheese chips, coming to €40, which already felt steep. When the chips arrived, we were surprised to find the “garlic” element was simply 3 to 4 raw, roughly chopped garlic cloves dumped on top, completely overpowering and inedible. We politely asked if we could swap to the bacon cheese chips instead, but what came back appeared to be the exact same dish, simply reheated. We know this for certain because we had put a small amount of ketchup on the chips before requesting the change, and the replacement plate came back with the same ketchup stains still visible. Nothing had changed. When we raised our concern, we were told “it is what it is”, which we found dismissive and frankly unprofessional. Even your own waitress visibly reacted to the amount of garlic on the plate. We are not ones to complain, but €40 for this experience, the food quality, the refusal to properly address our request, and the indifferent attitude, was not acceptable. We would welcome a response and hope this is taken as constructive feedback.

07/05/2026: A lovely layout with a well equipped beer garden, which included tv. This was very welcome for the large groups of Man Utd & some Liverpool fans. The food was delicious and the Guinness was 👍 Staff were efficient & friendly.

15/05/2026: We found this place by chance when looking for somewhere to have lunch. It was excellent. We had the daily special which was Hake with brown rice, which was great for me as I have diabetes. We also had two glasses of excellent wine and desserts. Coffee was good, as was the service. Worth a visit if you’re in Skibbereen.

03/03/2026: Great cafe Excellent food and coffee

26/05/2026: Great fish and chips, great view of the water and ha'penny bridge

26/05/2026: I can’t believe the waiter thought he could ‘sneak’ a service charge on the bill for a table of 2?! When we asked what it was for he just walked off?! So I went to the front to ask for a copy of the bill as the waiter didn’t return, sure the change was only .40 euros….. still?! AND the bill was missing, no where to be seen, had to re-print a new one. I just can’t!! 3.60 euros, in Canadian is almost $6?! Dirty!! I wish I could give this review a zero!!

06/04/2026: Had a fantastic stay - the place is all about relaxation. Room had a wonderful view over the lake. Food in the restaurant was absolutely delicious. Cannot recommend this place enough.

29/03/2026: We had the most incredible two-night stay at Carrig Country House and can’t recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, the setting completely won us over — right on the lake with breathtaking views that make it so easy to unwind and switch off. The house itself is full of charm and character, with a warm, cosy atmosphere that feels truly special. Being invited for coffee and homemade cake with biscuits after checking in is a great touch. We were lucky enough to stay in the Presidential Suite, which made the experience even more memorable. The space, comfort, and stunning views were exceptional — it felt like a real treat and the perfect place to relax. What really sets Carrig apart, though, is the hospitality. The team are genuinely welcoming, attentive, and thoughtful, creating a stay that feels personal and effortless. The dining experience was a real highlight. Being welcomed into a cosy sitting room to relax and discuss the menu before being called through to dinner is such a charming, old-world touch — it made each evening feel special. The food itself was outstanding from start to finish, with top-quality ingredients and beautifully presented dishes. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape with incredible food, beautiful surroundings, and truly warm hospitality, this place is a gem. Thank you to Claire, Kevin and the team for everything. We’ll definitely be back.

18/05/2026: Visited the Camden over the weekend with a group of friends and was very impressed. Very smart looking venue with an absolute monster of a screen showing sport. We found all the staff to be very friendly and helpful and the food on offer was of a good quality too. A few of us ordered the "Big Platter" and its exactly that. We all really enjoyed it (although the mac n cheese was a bit stodgy). Would 100% return next time im back over the water..

11/05/2026: Booked for their advertised Formula 1 screening. No commentary was played over the sound system. At a few points it was removed completely from the screens. I feel they shouldn’t advertise an event if they do not want to show it properly. Drinks and food were good.

19/04/2026: The food quality was terrible. We ordered roast turkey and roast bacon with broccoli, but the broccoli was yellow and not fresh. The worst part was the cauliflower vegetarian steak; the cauliflower was burnt. The steak was okay.

05/04/2026: Staff horrible. Food is vile would not waste my time here again steer clear of this place

26/10/2025: Have been there a couple times recently for family events great selection of Malaysian and Asian dishes as well as steaks and seafood service and atmosphere are excellent

12/09/2025: Nice place, handy location, decent breakfast served by very welcoming, friendly and informative staff 👍👍👍

26/05/2026: Nice little cafe, had a really tasty chicken roll, coffee and ice cream tub for very decent price. Staff was also very lovely, definitely go again next time I'm in Blessington!

25/05/2026: Great food. Great menu. Brilliant service.

12/10/2025: Went for family meal at Phil’s. Staff super friendly warm and very accommodating! Portions were massive and very tasty! Kitchen had closed but they brought out a little token to celebrate a family members birthday!! Lovely atmosphere and chilled vibes. Would recommend to all!

02/08/2025: Superb quality of food and excellent service by Heather and Christina Definitely worth a visit for the stew or seafood chowder

03/03/2026: (Traducido por Google) Siempre un gran lugar para los amantes de la música. Hay muchas oportunidades para socializar en un entorno bullicioso pero cómodo y para aquellos que buscan esconderse de los encuentros casuales, hay muchos rincones y grietas para desaparecer por la noche. También existe la ventaja adicional de poder separarse por completo y aventurarse arriba a la sección de descanso con asientos de cine para una experiencia única. Bebe y disfruta. (Original) Always a great spot for you music lovers. There's ample opportunity to socialise in a bustling yet comfortable setting and for those looking to hide away from chance encounters there's plenty of nooks and crannies to disappear into for the night. There's also the added bonus of being able to break away completely and venture upstairs to the chill out section clad with cinema seats for a unique experience. Drink up and enjoy.

19/01/2026: Great Wee funky quirky bar ++++++

11/05/2026: Will remember Cashel because of this space and Joel and Marijke ..who welcomed us and made us feel at home.

02/05/2026: We walked in to an empty restaurant at 6:30 pm on a Friday (every other place in town was full), so we weren’t expecting much. The food was delivered in takeout containers. We were surprised to find out it was from a trailer out back. The food was excellent! The Rustic Food Trailer has been doing this for about 6 months. The trailer is run by a young couple, he’s from Lithuania and she is from the Ukraine.

05/04/2026: Changing my previous 5 star review. Very overpriced here, and today I had missing items from my takeaway order. I haven’t been here with a while due to the high prices, and used to come regularly enough. However, I thought I’d have a treat with today being Easter. After today, I certainly won’t be coming back again in a hurry.

26/03/2026: Absolutely spot on inside there, couldn’t fault the place one bit, will always come back 😊
