04/05/2025: Myself and my four sisters had a beautiful meal in your lovely restaurant on Friday for my birthday, the staff were so helpful and friendly, the meal was a huge 10 out of 10,great atmosphere and wonderful food made my birthday complete ,thank you all so much 😊

20/04/2025: Amazing food and service. We were a group of ten and had such a lovely night. All meals were beautiful, and they were able to accommodate a vegan/coeliac person with a full three (delicious) courses. Could not recommend more!

20/05/2025: Best restaurant in Westport.Try something different from this Bulgarian hosted restaurant.From homemade bread to start to a free schnapps at the end of the meal a first class experience

17/05/2025: You will feel at home, but with an awesome kitchen. The hosts are kind, friendly and love to give you all the information you want. Besides the lovely food, they have a banger of a wine list! Please try the Slovenian wine.

17/05/2025: The people with you make the atmosphere!

10/05/2025: We booked the west for communion celebration dinner and very happy we did. Everything from the set menu, service and value were second to none. We were a large group of 23 adults and 8 kids. Everyone was pleased with their meal. Food was served seamlessly by great staff. The function room upstairs is a great space. We were allowed to decorate the evening before and nothing was too much trouble for Martin and his staff. The West surpassed itself today. If you have any celebration coming up I highly recommend the west you will not be disappointed

27/04/2025: Enjoyed a wonderful meal at the House Of Plates last evening. Very relaxing atmosphere, wonderful staff, and amazing food.😀

12/04/2025: We had one of the best meals out ever in 'House of Plates' in Castlebar last night. The food was amazing from starter to dessert. Gorgeous menu and everything was cooked to perfection. The extra little touches - the snack, breads & lollipop sorbet were a delight. Staff were fabulous! - friendly, efficient, professional and in no way pretentious. If you happen to be visiting Mayo, don't miss out on this culinary delight. A hidden gem that deserves to be recognised for excellent food and service. Keep doing what you're doing, guys!

14/05/2025: Wonderful vibe. Had a cappuccino that was very good and a tomato soup that was also very good. Highly recommend.

14/05/2025: Lovely, cosy place for coffee, breakfast, lunch and cakes. The boxty is amazing, I can't wait to go back for more. Warm and friendly service from Ashling makes you feel right at home and well looked after. Edit: I've since been back and I can't believe that it was even better again! This place really is Westport's best kept secret.

26/05/2025: Didn't eat here but visited on 2 different days on holiday. Great pub serve a decent pint with a good variety of beers to choose from and friendly staff

14/05/2025: Great atmosphere with live music

17/04/2025: I was so lucky to receive a tour of the castle hotel! Carol was incredibly knowledgeable and we talked informally for an hour about Irish history as it related to the Knox-Gore Family and their residence over time including during the Great Famine and after their departure (i.e., the tuberculosis sanatorium, military barracks, and ultimately hotel, venue, and museum). After our insightful conversation, she took me on a tour of Marshall Doran’s exceptionally eclectic collections including geology, Irish history, and weaponry. I loved being able to feel the weight of the weapons from the medieval period and seeing an executioner’s sword limited to use for beheading gentlemen was quite the education!

16/04/2025: We had a great experience. Beautiful walks in the castle's ground. Everyone very friendly and helpful. Would go back tomorrow if I could.

23/05/2025: Myself and my husband have frequented Nevin's for food on many occasions as we have family nearby and the food and service is always amazing. On this occasion we stayed in the newly renovated Lodge for 2 nights which was just beautiful, The bed was so comfy and the bathroom is so luxurious , there was a dream vanity station with no shortage of plugs in our room and the breakfast was amazing on both mornings , we will definitely return to this gem.

11/05/2025: Drop in you won't be disappointed...fantastic food, attentive friendly efficient staff..well managed.

21/05/2025: Super spot very tasty and great value for money

15/05/2025: Lovely food, great service, highly recommended if you enjoy Middle Eastern flavours. Only downside, no licence so you can't enjoy a bottle of wine with your meal.

21/04/2025: First class restaurant. One of the best dinner experiences in recent years, and that includes European and countries further afield. We will definitely return.

16/03/2025: I enjoyed a 3 course meal and enjoyed the food and service Immensively. I have a dairy alergy and the staff effortsly looked after me . Delicious food

25/04/2025: Was in Westport for 4 days vacation and came here every morning. Fantastic bread, coffee and the BEST cinnamon scrolls. Super friendly staff too. Will be back one day

25/04/2025: Loved it so much we went back the next day. Recently holidayed in the area and had the bakery recommended to us by friends. The coffee was excellent as was the service. We loved ALLLL of the treats we tried over the two visits I think we had one of everything available. The cinnamon rolls especially wowed us. Thanks so much!

27/04/2025: Some of the best service I’ve ever received in rural Ireland from a charismatic crew of staff. From their selection of home made breads, pastries and cakes to their delicious a la carte menu, you’ll be satiated and will want to return again. Also, make sure there’s a designated driver as the Guinness is some of the best in Connaught

27/04/2025: An amazing experience! I can’t say enough good things about Corley’s Bar. The food was insanely good — every bite was packed with flavor, the lamb is highly recommended. The vibe was relaxed but still felt special, and the staff made us feel totally taken care of. Honestly, one of the best meals I’ve ever had in Ireland. Well done for the whole team! You are all amazing!

12/03/2025: Real and honest review as a returning customer. I have been here multiple times for sit in and takway. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, but the drinks are a hit or a miss. Their staples are definitely hot chocolate and latte. They are smooth and consistently great. Matcha is a very popular drink, when it comes to popular/new items, I feel like they’re overpriced. I tried their matcha (around €5 ish), and it was a letdown. I ordered the strawberry-flavored one I think they used a syrup, and it stuck to the cup. Once I managed to mix it in, the syrup completely overpowered the matcha flavor that was alredy weak. I also got an iced coffee, but it wasn’t cold enough. There was barely any ice, which made the drink lukewarm instead of refreshing. For better quality Matcha and a reasonable price, I’d recommend trying other places around Ballina. I understand rising costs, and with that in mind, I do still think some items shouldn't be sooooo expensive. I will not be a returning customer. 🙏

26/04/2025: The best chowder out of the three I ate in Ireland, the rest of the dishes were also very good, generous and cheap portions.

17/04/2025: Very nice, generous plates, very warm welcome and attentive staff, nice decor and atmosphere!

10/05/2025: Food lovely, musicians great, real buzz in place

04/05/2025: Excellent service and quality food.
