We didn't visit in person, but ordered from their web site. The communication was excellent and the whole experience was not only trouble free, but also a pleasure. We selected our stick and it arrived safely within 10 days of ordering (we are in Australia).
The walking stick itself exceeded our expectations. We are planning a trip to Ireland and Shillelagh is now firmly on the itinerary.

A very pleasant visit to compare shillalaghs and learn about their history and pronunciation. Liam, the owner, is a walking text book on the subject! Very nice of him to be so patient and friendly with us, without gaining a sale.

Missing a oppertunity to buy a shillelagh when we were visitting Scotland a few years ago. I was determined to get one when in Ireland. Upon arriving and googling where to get one, we came across this place. So we took a little detour and we were not dissapointed. Choices were some what limeted as the owner explained a lot of his sales are done online. But the history and information he gave us was great. Ended up leaving the place with two sticks and a little souvenir for the GF. So if looking for one and in Ireland it's well worth a visit. If looking but not in Ireland go to their site.

We are walking the Wicklow Way and arranged for Liam to pick us up at the Dying Cow after a good days walking! The accommodation was ideal , clean and very comfortable ! We had a pizza at the local pub which was good. there is also a local take away fish and chip shop in the village!
Liz provided breakfast which was excellent and set us up for another days walking! Liam dropped us at the Dying Cow to start our days walking the Wicklow way and then transported our bags to the next B&B !
Liz and Liam are great hosts and thanks to Liam for giving us a brief history of the fighting sticks!
highly recommended

This is a wonderful B & B to stay in. We are doing the Wicklow way hike in Ireland and we are very satisfied from this place. The owners are very friendly (they picked us up from the path) The rooms are clean and beautiful. The Irish breakfast is excellent. I strongly recomend staying there
