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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

This is a wonderful country restaurant. We had the wild venison sausage with pickled onion and side salad, which was excellent and great value. The servers were all very friendly and the Guinness was smooth. Great place to stop for lunch or dinner. Worth the...detour!More

Beautiful location. Delicious food. We had steak, venison and lamb dishes all which were perfectly cooked. We just stumbled upon it and really glad we did! We were really lucky to get a table though so I'd recommend booking ahead.

This is really a super spot. All the staff are really really nice and really friendly. We stayed for one night b n b and also ate there that night having climbed the nearby Spinc. The food we ate was of the highest standard and...very tasty At€50 each for b n b it offers exceptional value for a great experience in a beautiful location. After a building up a thirst from our climb.... Lol we had drinks and a 3 course meal which was scrumptious. Highly recommend and looking forward to going back already!More

Ate here while on a recent staycation in Wicklow. It was recorded to us by the lovely man who’s B&B we stayed in. We had our little dog with us and the staff were so accommodating and spoilt our fur baby! The food was really...lovely here and the staff were good too! It’s a lovely spot to have a pint and something to eat with a beautiful view of the mountains!More
