Dromoland Castle
03/11/2025: Everything about this castle is magnificent. The older section (reception, restaurant, bar) is sumptuous. Breakfast is exceptional in the castle's grand hall.
The grounds are equally impressive (forest with deer, lake with the option to rent a boat for fishing, golf for enthusiasts).
01/11/2025: I’ve been to some nice hotels over the years, but the stand out feature of Dromoland Castle for me, is not the facility (which is super) but the staff. You would expect them to be professional, but they are far more than that. They are characters. Whoever manages this fine hotel, do not change how you recruit and train your staff. In the short two days I spent there, the staff were standout and good crack. Not overly drilled or devoid of personality.
Rory in the bar epitomised this, but was not alone .
All staff were happy and engaged.
Congratulations.

29/10/2025: Charming restaurant with delicious food. I was there at the end of July with my mother staying within walking distance of the restaurant, and it was one of the best meals we had during our 5 day trip in Ireland.
27/10/2025: Service was great . Fish (was light like a cotton) & chips was very tasty. Soup of the day super. Atmosphere was very cosy

McDermott's Pub
14/11/2025: We had our wedding reception at McDermott’s Pub, and it was absolutely perfect! The vibe was warm and lively, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the food was beyond delicious—every single dish was amazing. The live music was top notch and really brought the whole celebration to life. From start to finish, they made our special day unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate!
06/11/2025: Great Pub, we spent an evening there food and drink we great, so was the live music.

Banoffi desert was not too sweet and good. It was very delicious.

Byrnes Restaurant
Ennistymon
11/11/2025: Food is decent - we enjoyed the early bird menu twice and it caters for vegan and vegetarian, although you wont have a selection of options. Service was great both times and price good too if doing early bird !
27/10/2025: Nice restaurant, off the beaten track.
The menu is manageable. The starters are small.
We had the steak, not so good meat and not grilled well.
And the curry, well-seasoned but with more sauce than substance. The chicken with it was good.
However, and this is why it only gives it two stars, the prices for the food are far too high. €29.70 for the steak and €25.70 for the curry are, in my opinion, completely unreasonable.

Roadside Tavern
Lisdoonvarna
27/10/2025: Great lunch spot in Lisdoonvarna!
Stopped by this place on the way back from the cliffs and it was a solid place for lunch. We ordered the seafood chowder and fish and chips. Both dishes were solid and the chowder had a good amount of seafood in it.
The service staff was very friendly and welcoming and the restaurant atmosphere is really cozy. Would recommend to anyone passing by Lisdoonvarna!
27/10/2025: Amazing pub near the cliffs. We enjoyed some great pints of Guinness, and the beef chuck stew was the star of the meal!

Monks Ballyvaughan

02/11/2025: Having stayed in a range of dog friendly accommodation across Ireland, I have to say this has been one of our very best experiences. The relaxed, 'home from home' atmosphere, fabulous setting and genuinely welcoming staff made for a truly memorable break.
Looking forward to our return trip already !

Lahinch
03/11/2025: We visited as a group of 7 whilst visiting Co Clare on a short break.
Our experience was mostly very good, the chowder was excellent, the vol-au-vents, pasta dish and fish were very good, however the burgers were dry and chewy, edible non the less but the only downside.
28/10/2025: amazing food and atmosphere! big recommendation😍

Vaughan's Anchor Inn
Liscannor
11/11/2025: This was a recommendation from Olin at the Cliffs of Moher hotel and a quick walk from there.
Looks like the menu changes frequently.
We started with the scallops and they and the barley were cooked perfectly. So good, I was amazed.
The venison and accompaniments were great. Though if you don't like rare meats, this might not be for you.
The bread pudding with butter ice cream finished off a great birthday meal.
I 100% recommend dining here.
My wife and I shared all the plates.
09/11/2025: Perfect! The staff are incredibly attentive and kind. The service is quick and impeccable. The food is delicious and the setting is charming! I highly recommend this restaurant.
