“Had an overnight stay room very spacious bed was comfortable had everything that I needed. Also dog friendly which was very handy would recommend a stay and will definitely be back again”

“We had a lovely stay at Dacara Bed & Breakfast. A lovely location. A wonderful room, a fantastic breakfast and our host Breeda was amazing. Thank you so much”

“Great seafood place. This was our first real meal during this trip to Northern Ireland. It's some of the best food I've had so far. The salmon curry had so much flavor. The seafood chowder was perfect. You could tell the cook was well trained and to care to make these dishes. The staff was super friendly and helpful.”

“It was a special family lunch in the NEW restaurant, as we stepped into the welcoming atmosphere where Bronagh greeted us warmly... I made sure to catch Alex before leaving to express our gratitude for the unforgettable lunch experience. Throughout the meal, we were treated to a delightful culinary journey, punctuated by moments of pure enjoyment with each dish. From the delicate fish cake to the succulent lamb main, every bite was a revelation. And that Brownie? A sweet finale to a perfect midday meal. The impeccable service only enhanced our dining experience, leaving us already planning our next visit. We've even booked a table for the whole family in the next few weeks, eager to share this culinary gem with them. It was truly a pleasure to chat with Alex and thank him for such a memorable dining experience.”

“It felt like a night at the best 'local'. The rooms were well designed and different in the best way. The staff were great, the food good. Breakfast was excellent. Live music on the night we stayed and the locals gave us great craic.”

“I have to say that this is definitely one of thee best and will be undeniably hard to beat no matter were you go, honestly so fresh and I couldn’t be more satisfied with how full we are after that, the chips were golden and fresh, the chicken burger was mouth watering, delicious and out of this world. Even for the fussy eaters there isn’t one bad thing about the place! Would recommend to everyone absolutely delicious!”

“Beautiful wedding venue. The party area for the reception was so well decorated and the balcony made for a great cool down zone post dance marathon. The bar staff were really lovely, especially a ginger-y gentleman who was working at the bar upstairs. Very friendly and working his butt off to keep up with a lot of big drinks orders. I didn't stay in the guest rooms that night but I have heard from family that it was a great stay.”

“Tried this last night for the first time. Ordered their vegetarian Thai Green Curry and it is absolutely delicious. Really big portion too, was able to split in two and have it the next night as well. Best chinese I've had in a long time and will definitely go back. Great price too.”

“After cycling all day I needed to find somewhere to eat. Few places were open but then I found this: superb. Really lovely local craft beer which made a refreshing change, and superb food.”

“Lovely friendly and welcoming bar. Good company. Great nights entertainment. Lovely welcoming and friendly staff”

“A perfect night away. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Room was lovely . We had a delicious meal with an incredible evening view of Carlingford lough. We have enjoyed meals here before but so glad we decided to stay the night too. Breakfast was great and again staff were chatty and helpful. We will definitely return for another relaxed stay.”

“Great place to go for a few beers and a game of pool. Mark who runs the Foresters is a top bloke, always a good craic.”

“I dined at the Homeland on 2 October 2024. I was greeted with a smiling face. I had the Slimmer and it was delicious. I'm so glad I stopped. Do yourself a favor and dine here.”

“The food was ok! I liked the atmosphere in there modern but rustic, the girls were very professional but nice as well! definitely a nice place for a break or even work”

“Amazing family experience. This really got us and the kids into the Xmas spirit. Really well done. The kids had a ball. Visiting Santa made the whole experience he spoke to them about their favourite things and what they wanted for Xmas. Highly recommend is a tad expensive tho.”

“It's easy to miss this little gem. We went in and were greeted by the most wonderful woman at the counter. She was so jolly and polite, this was our first experience. Then in the car we decided to taste the food and were absolutely blown away at just how good it was. I was genuinely shocked and strongly recommend everyone who is even considering it to try this little restaurant.”

“Very tasty well cooked food. Friendly efficient service. Very reasonable price. Thank you!”

“Room 4 for the weekend. Staff were so helpful and attentive. Especially the guy serving breakfast on both days and the young lady on Sunday morning. So friendly and welcoming. Ate here both nights. Food was really tasty and filling. Plenty of seats in the bar. Band on Saturday night. And free entry to the disco. Ventured in to laugh at the hens and stags who had been drinking in PJs all day. Breakfast was fab.”

“Good service and food except for the chips, dry bland taste which no amount of salt could save. They were good enough to take them off the bill. Social distance and cleanup good. Pricing reasonable. Good atmosphere.”

“I love this hotel staff are great and do go that extra mile We were there for our 28 th wedding anniversary (reception was at millbrook). We were given a suite and a lovely card and some treats awaited us on arrival beautiful room good wide bath well with a visit”

“Fantastic experience! Super comfortable beds, tasty food, crisp pints and unreal staff. Cannot recommend enough. Only thing that needs work is the coffee which is far from a deal breaker.”

“The food was delicious. Waiter was friendly and knowledgeable, making excellent recommendations. The atmosphere was warm and cozy.”

“Our local saturday night favourite Chinese where i think I've sampled nearly everything off the menu at this stage. My husband is a plain eater so he is a sliced chicken supper man but he wouldn't rate one anywere else which we have had to resort to when they were closed. My fave dish is honey chilli chicken. Its reasonable quick clean and pleasant.”

“Good selection of plant-based dishes (4/5 Green Stars) Camile Thai was started by Brody Sweeney, who had previously founded O’Brien’s Irish Sandwich bars. Apparently there are 45 branches of Camile Thai around Ireland, the UK, and even the US. A lot of business comes from delivery and take away orders – this branch had many order pick-ups but we were the only diners eating in. Apparently the Oranmore (Galway) branch conducted a trial of food delivery by drone to save on delivery costs and carbon footprint. Three things are immediately eye-catching upon looking at the menu: 1. Compostable packaging for take-out or delivery food 2. Each dish is graded for carbon footprint 3. Plenty of vegan and vegetarian options There are some inconsistencies with some of the carbon footprint grades on the printed menu versus the online version that need to be fixed. For example, edamame received a D grade on the printed menu and an A on the online version. But in general these grades are helpful. As a general rule, the vegan / vegetarian dishes are graded A, while dishes containing chicken usually get a B, duck or prawn dishes are graded C and beef dishes are graded E. A more accurate version of this would be A for veggie, D for chicken, E for duck and prawn and F for beef – especially if other environmental factors such as land and water use were also taken into account. I found that even if dishes are listed with a meat component, they can probably make a vegetarian or vegan version. I was interested to try the Singapore Noodles and they were able to make it with vegan chicken instead of real chicken. We both enjoyed our dishes and I’ll definitely plan to return to try more. Staff members were friendly and the restaurant is very clean. I’m giving Camile 4.5 out of 5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, for these reasons: • Many vegan and vegetarian options. Adopting a plant-based diet is the top thing you can do to mitigate climate change and deforestation, besides avoiding animal cruelty and the negative impact of the meat industry on society. • The idea of grading each dish for carbon footprint is a very nice idea, helping customers to bear the planet in mind when ordering. • It’s also an interesting experiment to give people a choice – you can have the same dish with different proteins (tofu or vegan chicken, chicken, duck, shrimp or beef) with an increasingly large carbon footprint. But wouldn’t it be even better to not offer beef at all? • Compostable containers for food ordered for delivery or to take away is also a big plus. • Camile has also launched a trial (in collaboration with Vytal Ireland) of reusable packaging for food ordered from the Pearse St. (Dublin) branch – containers can be returned to the branch within two weeks. • Beer is available in bottles – it’s a pity they don’t do draft beer (less packaging) but I guess there’s not enough demand for it. • Camile collaborated with Open Hive to increase the Irish Black Honeybee population. • Restaurant ops have recipes and admin policies that reduce food waste to 1% in Camile kitchens. Food waste is responsible for a large chunk of our global CO2 emissions.”

“As always the food was excellent. Since lockdown it is now takeaway only. Very busy so you need to order at least 30 minutes before you want it.”

“First time visiting harrys bar this weekend. Food was excellent. Atmosphere was lively and extremely busy. Staff despite being extremely busy were very friendly and attention to detail was impeccable.”

“We have had coffee and scones here many times. occasionally the service is a little slow when it is busy. But the staff are very friendly and the coffee and sconescarr excellent. And it is not expensive!”

“OMG ... best and biggest steak sandwich ever. Perfectly cooked steak which was top quality. Will be back for the fry one day!”
