The Bard’s Den

I can’t comment on accommodation but I can on the pub and restaurant. The pub is cosy and friendly with a standard bar with TV for drinking or a lounge/​restaurant area for sitting down.
The food can be pricey but I went for a seafood chowder and fish and chips. The chowder was nice but not as thick as expected and needed salt.
The fish and chips were tasty and surprisingly had some nice coleslaw that wasn’t smothered in mayonnaise like most Irish coleslaw tends to be,
My wife had a lamb stew and even though she ate loads, the bowl still looked full when she was stuffed. The portions are absolutely massive. I couldn’t finish my fish and chips either.
Their beer selection on tap is not worth mentioning, the usual suspects. They do however have McGrath’s IPA in bottle which made me happy.

Friendly staff, a smart collie (that looks just like Lassie), great mocha (not too sweet), and homemade goodness — lamb stew and seafood chowder were great!
