28/12/2024: Just home after a really delicious meal at Flanagan's. Haven't been here since a family event last Summer which was really good & glad to say the food quality hasn't dropped. Had the chili chorizo prawns to start which were divine, really big & juicy, lovely garlic bread & a pizza. Wine & cocktails were very good also. Our 2 waitresses were friendly and helpful whilst in intrusive. Great to have this gem on our doorstep, won't leave it so long til next time!

29/11/2024: Beautiful hotel, nice staff, nice food and very warm welcome when we were down for breakfast by a lovely young lady called Sarah😊 The rooms are just beautiful, only down side was the wifi not working properly in the building facing the lake, something that should be looked at as we are paying extra for the superior rooms!

27/11/2024: Absolutely gorgeous location and Service, thanks a lot

03/01/2025: Beautiful spot for food. We got a table beside the stove and it was super comfy. Service was fantastic for a party of 6.

01/01/2025: Had a meal here with friends just before Christmas, when we arrived, the person that booked the table spoke with a young girl with a pony tail, who bascily was very smart with our friend by stating we were late by 2 hrs for our table which was totally inaccurate. We were not impressed by this welcome, nor did she apologise over her comment. The food was excellent but was extremely slow. We had to wait 45 minutes to get our mains, which is not good. It is also advisable that the table servers need to be trained on how to serve a tables, before some of us were finished, the servers were clearing the plates, which made us feel uncomfortable and rushed. I thought it was down to the young server who hadn't a clue, but I overheard a conversation with the same girl at the reception given orders to the table servers to remove plates straight away. So this person is not suitable front of house, as it ruined our experience to what could have being a good night with good food. Another problem we had, we had booked a table booth, which was nice, but the restaurant bar is very noisey, and with the young lads behind the bar rattling, the cocktail makers made the noise in tolerable. I would suggest noise proofing the area with wall or ceiling buffers, as the noise is very strong.

12/09/2024: Very strong smell while I was there. Was so overwhelming we couldn't stay beyond one drink

27/07/2024: Great pub great music session there last night
