24/10/2025: Would highly recommend stopping here if you are going through Clones in Co.monaghan

14/11/2025: Creighton Hotel is not merely a place to stay, but a vantage point into the layered soul of Clones. The rooms are quiet and balanced, yet stepping outside you encounter the Round Tower whose stones bear the double handwriting of centuries, the High Cross on the Diamond, and the faint memory of Saint Tighernach’s monastery where manuscripts once whispered before vanishing into legend. The town itself carries the scar of the border division, its streets pausing like unfinished sentences, while the Ulster Canal and the ghost of the GNRI railway remind us of plans interrupted and journeys diverted. As W.B. Yeats observed, “The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.” In Clones, that magic is not loud but subtle, found in the silence of stone and the humor of history. To rest here is to join a philosophical dialogue with time itself.

08/11/2025: Excellent value, lovely staff, clean modern rooms

27/08/2025: Wonderful place, always feels bit nostalgic there. Always great food, breakfast, lunch or pizza for children. Mine love waffles for breakfast. Beside is wonderful laces art gallery amd a wee shop. Toilets too. There is playground just beside it and outdoor toilets and showers.

02/10/2025: Best pub in Clones! Open mic night is the best on Wednesday!

28/08/2025: Came in to Adamsons the day after our wedding with a large group. Fantastic service all day, we were able to order pizzas, wings and chips whenever we needed throughout the day and settle all at the end. Everything was so delicious and speedy out of the kitchen. We had a some vegans in our party who had good options too. Great atmosphere in the bar by the end of the Sunday night too. Ross and all the staff were very helpful and friendly throughout

31/10/2025: 1st class food, always and a top class service.

21/10/2025: Very nice restaurant, a gem in Monaghan. I wish we had discovered this place earlier. We had just a dessert, which was absolutely amazing. The service was so nice and friendly. We proceeded to payment at the bar and noticed the liquor bottles with different flavours. We became curious and got free samples from multiple drinks. Being nice and friendly doesn’t cost much. We ended up buying two bottles and will definitely be back. It will be our place to go to. Please keep the service like this. EDITED Visited Andy’s second time, unfortunately disappointed. Burgers were super dry, and service was very slow. We just left, gave up on desert :(

13/07/2025: We parked in the shopping car park and as soon as we walked out we spotted this coffee shop . We had the most delicious BLTs and iced coffees, the food and service was wonderful , thank you Barbara !

10/06/2025: My new fave coffee shop 🥰 The coffee is the best in town! Ready to drink temp so if you like an extra hot coffee ask for it to be extra hot! I got a toasty & it was the best toasty I’ve ever had! Delicious! Lovely cosy little spot, we sat outside in one their pods and was lovely! The staff are lovely, especially the young lad!!!

06/09/2025: The food was delicious and hot, so it was perfect. The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful to our party. I would go there again.

17/08/2025: Good atmosphere, very spacious, lots of tables, all kinds of people come here, varied menu. Service, however, leaves much to be desired: I was sitting at the bar for almost 10 minutes and none of the bartenders cared to ask me what I wanted, serving instead other customers who arrived after me. I left unattended.

14/06/2025: Wishing David all the best, was passing through Monaghan twice a week in the 90’s heading to Cavan to see a young lady, was always told to get a supreme + a spicy tomato on the way through .Courting for 10 years…. cost me a fortune ! We’re married 26 years now, but anytime we’re heading up to Cavan, the wee treat was Pizza D’or GUTTED !!!!!!!!
