The Cot & Cobble

Ballina

01/01/2025: Service was very good. The vegetarian noodles as mains was a big let down. Overall decent experience.

26/12/2024: Not bad for the price, you get a lot of food. It's good but room for improvement. Starters: Soup. I really enjoyed it, especially the bread that had walnut & and apricot, it went well together. Main Course: The portion for this was massive. There is so much chicken, rice, a dip, and chips. Good value for money, but too much for me. The chicken itself was really good, crispy, and well flavoured. I wish it came with better rice. It was just cooked. Maybe add veg into it. It would have made the meal more enjoyable and take out the chips from the menu. Dessert: It was bad. Brownie was dry. Ice cream didn't even taste like anything. Overall 3/5

03/12/2024: Visited from Dublin ,journey took around 3 hours but didn’t even feel that long tbh. We chose the food lovers package and we were not disappointed.

They have a good variety of spa treatments. The staff were nothing short of lovely , very catering. Highly recommend the clay sho oting , we enjoyed every second and you don’t need any experience! If you’re looking for a short getaway then this place is great.
