12/06/2026: The food in the Forge Bar was gorgeous and Abigail was so lovely :)

10/06/2026: Had the misfortune of booking this hotel for one night as we were passing through . Both me and my girlfriend have been to the doctors twice since we got home due to the pest bites we have all over our body what appears to be 4 start hotel is a nightmare they need to remove all beds and bedding . In all my 45 years I have never gotten any bites on my legs as bad as this . I’m in the process of filing a claim and reporting them to the health service it’s a bloody disgrace .

07/06/2026: Nice bright rooms. Great Irish Breakfast and over all very comfortable. Good value for the $$. Only downside is it’s a 20 minute walk to town centre.

10/06/2026: Typical Irish pub atmosphere, very welcoming service, good traditional and homemade food. We recommend it!!

08/06/2026: Have been here many times, but not since the new people took it over. Decided to call in. On entering nothing has changed. So got the same, usual welcoming feeling. A great atmosphere. In the past have seen people watching sports on TV, didn't notice this time, which in one way was a bit easier to talk. Big premises. Very deceiving from the road, much bigger inside. Anyway the food is beautiful still the same great choices. Staff very efficient. Parking on the road. We still haven't managed to stay here yet so will have to sometime in the future, so look forward to that. Good value. Call in you won't be disappointed.

30/05/2026: Great food, amazing costumer service and adorable atmosphere

30/05/2026: We had our communion there were 10 of us, the food was great and the service was A+++

05/06/2026: Everything we excellent. Best boneless chicken wings and Spanish omelette ever!!

02/06/2026: I am regular customer and one of loyal people to elephant and castle but recently management are dragging this place down and down , started by removing many lovely dishes, decreasing portions , remove kids most wanted dish and finally remove chocolate fudge ice cream and replace it with ice cream Really disappointed with this company who manage this brand I usually go weekly for chicken wings but now i am hesitant about coming back

16/05/2026: Lucy and kitty made the first experience amazing experts in whiskey would highly Recommend here without a doubt

07/05/2026: We popped in for dinner and a pint. The decor, vibe, ambiance, and feel do not match the food or service. I ordered the "pie of the day" (chicken and bacon with a side of mashed potatoes and roasted veg) and my husband the burger. At €20 a plate I was expecting something other than what appeared to be boiled and thickly cut chicken breast with a few bit of bacon in an overly salted cream sauce along with run of the mill mashed potatoes with small chunks of veg that were pan fried. It almost smacked of what you could get as a pre-made meal at Tesco. The burger was equally disappointing. Dry, overcooked (was never asked how it should be prepared), and the toppings were underwhelming. The chips that came with the burger were OK, but unremarkable and should have been cooked for at least another minute or two to crisp up the outside. When I say the vibe didn't match the service, it boils down, quite a bit, to the service. The bartender would frequently mess with his hair showing his midriff. If you're going to present your establishment as a "cut above", I would expect a bit of decorum with proper attire. Our server (I didn't catch her name) had the personality of a rock and was cold (never mean, but definitely has the feeling she didn't really want to be there). Maybe it's because it's the "low season" being early May, but come on! For €52 for 2 meals and 2 pints, surely you can do better. Also, what is up with the weird thumping noise that was vibrating the ceiling lights? Super annoying.

05/06/2026: Great range of craft beers and plenty of sport on TV. Had a chicken baguette which was decent quality too. Overall, wasn't bad value either.

02/06/2026: I was really surprised with the quality and price!! The meal deal is amazing and I highly recommend it. Besides that, the space is really big and staff is kind and friendly. The only downside is that they don’t have coke and the orange juice was quite bitter, but still, I would definitely go there again!!

05/09/2025: 5 minutes from golf course, breakfast was fantastic and the staff was like family!

20/08/2025: Old country house but excellent service and atmosphere.

15/05/2026: Positive experience. The staff war super nice, manly the lady manager, really welcoming. The only thing is that the teapot 🫖 had a leak so it poured some water on the table. For the rest good vibe and style.

02/08/2025: Five of us had breakfast here today. The food was lovely plus the staff were lovely and friendly. We had a dog with us and they gave him water and were very helpful. Would highly recommend this restaurant. Well done.

02/08/2025: Nice food. Good service. Nice seats outdoors.

24/05/2026: Food not great , seems like it wasn't cooked from start, very disappointed

15/05/2026: It's a Supermacs. They rarely, if ever, disappoint. There's not a foreigner I know who doesn't go home with Supermacs on their list of things about Ireland that will forever live in their hearts. I'm only slightly exaggerating.

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.

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

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 ++++++

03/05/2026: Food was really nice, nothing was forgotten about and the service was excellent. Would definitely go back again.

20/04/2026: Nice spot for food. Loved the desert
