The best restaurants in Carrickmacross

24/08/2025: There for lunch meeting food was excellent and lovely friendly staff

22/08/2025: As a doctor working locum in a clinic in Carrickmacross, I recently stayed at the only hotel in town for the second time The Shirley Arms. I stayed in a double bed room, which was comfortable and well-maintained. However, I encountered an issue with the TV remote, which unfortunately did not work—a common problem I've noticed in many hotels. The shower only provided very warm water, and I found it difficult to adjust the temperature to something cooler. This was disappointing. The menu in the dining area is quite pricey, with main dishes starting at €25. I ordered a small plate of prawns along with a glass of White House wine. The prawns were decent, but nothing exceptional for the price. One aspect that stood out negatively was the breakfast service. The waitress was quite loud, rude and seemed overly bossy, which detracted from the overall experience. A more pleasant and accommodating demeanor would greatly improve the dining atmosphere. I hope to see enhancements on my next visit.
