πŸ‘ Beautiful setting and great eating places. People are so very friendly probably more than any other place I have been, but this also applies to everyone I met in Northern Ireland. Only slight downside is there is no blue badge free parking.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Wow. Had a selection of the small plates here and they were amazing. The lobster was great value at nine pounds and the seafood pot was tremendous. The scallop stack with black pudding was very tasty, but you do only get a single scallop. Great food and excellent value.
