    Enjoyed bar and exploring surrounding area, despite the weather.
    Lovely old authentic bar, friendly staff and locals. Perfect location for visiting Slieve League cliffs and surrounding area. Kids enjoyed freshly made pizzas.
    Chowder and Mackerel were disappointing. Although it didn’t bother me, kids not happy with no TV in room.

    Short stay , but memorable, good whiskeys to keep ya cosy , a trip worthwhile 😉
    Great little spot tucked away in a sleepy hollow in Teelin Bay, super little bar and comfortable with dogs allowed, food was great and breakie even better with Doggo also looked after, checked in rooms to rear of bar, room wasn’t ready but was looked after by management which makes it good and attentive, music most nights and good to see Mickey D when he’s not out in Lanza with the Rory G lad 🙂causing havoc , Staff were on ball, Dylan good ambassador and looked after us mighty, and to the courtesy bus man a great chat with him also, A must in my opinion for a trip to the cliffs. Warm and welcoming and hopefully a return trip for a wee Dram 🥃. Well run, and to the owners no leaks in this establishment 😉.
    No negatives.

    Lovely pub and place to stay but the wait to have food order taken was honestly ridiculous
    Clean rooms and the bar staff were great
    The food staff were very slow. We waited OVER 20 minutes to be asked what we wanted for dinner. In the morning we were seated for breakfast and left for 10 minutes - waiter disappeared into the kitchen and didn’t even take a drinks order. Although the breakfast was included we just left. Honestly was very disappointed with that side of things.
