Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    We visited Blackpool for the weekend and when visiting places I always look out for 2nd hand and independent record stores. The shop is packed with great titles at great prices. A fantastic wide range on 7inch, 12inch singles and LP'S.

    If you in Blackpool or visiting. Give them a go you won't be disappointed.

    Spotted the exhibition at Cork airport. Superb crafts on display. Bought a few pieces. Only sorry I didn't have a bigger case to take more home. Excellent craftsmanship. Will have to return to Cork to pick up some more.

    Loved discovering this tasty treat shop! The owner Tony Linehan had a great chat with us and told us a bit of the history. He’s the third generation Linehan owner and it’s been running is 1928! Amazing.

    For something different try the Cut Clove Sweets - I really liked them and they are
    One of their most popular. Never tried anything like it!

    When traveling in Ireland, Carrol’s is a great place to buy Irish gifts to bring back home. They have a huge selection of merchandise and lots of price points that allows one to buy without spending a lot of money. We went to the Cork city location and were pleased.

    This shop has the very best cheese you will get in Cork, an absolute must for cheese lovers. My favourite is the st Andres. Their fresh pasta and pizza bases are gorgeous and their chocolate cake is out of this world. This really is a gem of a shop.

    If you want to indulge in some shopping, Opera Lane is Cork's favourite shopping district. It's one of the best places to shop as they have a wide range of popular stores all on one street.
    You can find Topshop, H&M, Sketchers, Topman, River Island, Compu b, Office Shoes, Tommy Hilfiger, Specsavers, Therapie and the Gap all in one convenient location. With that range of selection, you're bound to find something you want here!
    It's a great place to shop if you get tired easily.
    And if you're waiting for your friends or partner to finish shopping & you're all shopped out, you can stop off for a coffee at Starbucks, just at the top of the street.

    Definitely the best chocolate I've ever had! No chocolate tastes as good since I've had David chocolate. Located in the English market and hand made by David himself. Absolutely would recommend! Their stirring Bailey's Hot Milk chocolate stick is divine. And the best Easter eggs 😍
