We enjoyed our stay very much. The Wild Honey Inn is very comfortable, pleasant and relaxing and and Co Clare is of course wonderful. I would however respectfully suggest that the pricing needs a little tweaking in context of the offering, notwithstanding the award winning status and the many challenges the hospitality industry has faced and is facing. We stayed in one of the 'cosy' rooms. The decor was lovely, very nicely done in lots of burren shades and natural fabrics. The bed had a good quality, comfortable mattress and bedding and though small the room was indeed very cosy. Although our room was street facing, it was quiet. The 'cosy' rooms (and most of the rooms are this format I think), don't have baths which is disappointing. The towels needed to be larger and there needed to be more of them.

Dinner was very good, but there was a big hotel style efficiency/economy about it. My roquefort and endive salad starter for example had a great deal of endive but just four tiny beads of roquefort cheese (and a sprinking of hazlenuts rather than the walnuts it should have included), and bread for the table was just two small pieces of soda bread. My after dinner tea (eur3.90) was not included in our set deal.

Our meat and fish main dishes were great: perfect turbot and a beautiful beef dish.

If I am absolutely honest, I have to say we ate better elsewhere in Co Clare with no less creativity and finesse and with more charming service and more thoughtful pricing.

A 750ml bottle of sparkling water was charged at eur6. Two Aperol Spritzes were eur30. Two Dingle G+Ts were eur23. Two mid range white wines were eur24. (The wine list however is very good).

Dublin/urban visitors will be perhaps quite comfortable with these prices but the Wild Honey Inn is not in Dublin or Paris. There is a more bountiful feel about other country Michelin venues, such as MacNean House for example.

The breakfast offering is not sumptuous but very nice. Lovely fluffy scones and muesli, yoghurt and fruit compote. The wording on the menu about choosing only one hot dish seems a little unnecessary.

Two nights' B+B including one night's dinner was eur540. Later in our trip we stayed in a Doolin guest house with a great deal more space and comfort, for a lot less.

It is however a lovely place. Located on the edge of town, you are an easy walk to everywhere in Lisdoonvarna.

A little guidance on parking in advance of arriving would be helpful - there is on road parking on a first come basis, but more parking a little further away.

As a general observation about holidaying in Co Clare and in Ireland at present, very little of the the government's maintaining of the 9% reduced VAT rate appears to be passed on to visitors.More
