Attempted to pay for my meal which was average at best. Was told that the voucher which I received at Christmas was out of date despite it being purchased less than a year ago. Really surprised, we left and soon after called to ask why I was refused to use it when vouchers are legally supposed to last for 5 years. Given that the voucher was only bought in December, I’d have assumed a gesture of ‘goodwill’ would have been given. Only thing I received down the phone was bad manners from the ‘manager’. Have never been spoken to as badly by someone who is supposed to be running a business. Zero people skills and passive aggressive. Will certainly not be back. Would advise against buying vouchers unless you’re happy with a 6 month expiry date - which is unheard of. Waste of money

What a gem of a place! We were a group of ten who were walking in the Mournes. The quality & service was very good. I had just started my meal when the manager came over asking me if I could move my car as it was blocking an entrance. One of my colleagues told me that as soon as I had left, my plate of food was lifted to be left in the oven until I returned. As soon as I reappeared, my food was brought out with a fresh bowl of mash & a new pastry crust for my pie. Top marks there! We all enjoyed our meal & would certainly eat there again. The place was really busy which was a good sign. It was a really good experience!

Been coming here for 20 hrs and always had an amazing meal with the best of service and staff until today. When I queried they charged me an extra cost for the sauce way very disappointed as should not of been charged full amount and when confronted the ignorance of the girl was so upsetting. I should of been explained the difference in cost of £4.95 or I would not of ordered this as normally you get a choice of sauce with a fillet steak. Please explain this to your customers and don't be so rude. I'm sorry I paid for this sauce as it was not taken and I know now this place has been taken over by new owners 😭

V disappointed with dinner, requested a carry out from an event I couldn’t attend, requested just turkey and veg, expected a generous portion of turkey and a good big serving of cooked veg, instead got a pathetic half slice of turkey (60g to be exact, couldn’t believe how scant it was so I needed to see what the actual amount was) and a tiny little box of raw ( literally uncooked), roughly chopped vegetables. Wound up binning the lot in frustration and having a pot of yogurt for dinner instead.

Was in this Hotel Thurs last with a party of around 50 we had the most fabulous day, from the lovely welcome by Staff to one of the best meals I have ever had There was 3 choices Beef Chicken, or Salmon every meal was served in a very short time which made the food hot, dessert was also very tasty. Will be back soon. Dancing afterwards was great to watch a really enjoyable time. Thanks to all.

Good portions. And very tasty. As good as i have had in other good places doing the exact meal. Same lay out and same vegetable sides. And my pint was in good order and all was served to me by pleasant staff. The price for it all was very reasonable. And i left very contented.

Unfortunately as I went back out to get my glasses from the car my foot slipped on the mat at the front door and I fell hurting my shoulder elbow and wrist. I spoke to a lovely male waiter who said he would deal with it. After 15 minutes I asked him if he had got it sorted as I was worried that an elderly person would fall in this area - he said he looked for another mat but there wasn’t any. Within another 10 minutes it looked as if something else had happened as the same waiter came out with a large roll of blue paper and a mop bucket and then new mats!! Our meal was great and the staff were friendly and helpful as always - and all working very hard!!

This was to be a lunch treat but would say it was disappointing as it was busy so had to go upstairs and 8 of us had to sit at 2 tables not even at the same height and one was very badly damaged as you can see in the photo's I took food was OK but we should have never been allowed to sit there especially with the covid virus around the tables look like they were out a shed and not clean and no one said anything to us as money is more important if I worked for the health board then that would be closed upstairs never mind what downstairs was like. Would not recommend and will not go again and God help anyone who cuts themselves on that table.

We were staying nearby and were recommended the Devonshire Arms, we arrived on a Tuesday evening to find it was"Treat Yourself Tuesday" this menu had a good selection for extremely reasonable prices. Both the fish and chips and the sausage and mash were well prepared and served nice and hot. A few days later we returned, we chose from the a la carte, the starters of seafood chowder and breaded brie were well presented and flavoursome. Our mains were seafood grill - again well cooked, and very tasty.

Main course we had Seafood Grill, Sizzling Chicken, Surf and Turf and Rib Eye Steak. Both the steak eaters said it was one of the best steaks they had. The Seafood grill was divine. The portions were big, without a doubt we will be visiting more frequently.

First time here and certainly won't be the last. Great atmosphere from when we arrived. Staff were excellent, everyone worked as a team. Food was great with a good selection to suit everyone, we'd scallops with black pudding fritters and battered mushrooms to start and chicken parmesan and seafood platter for mains, huge portions, but next time I think I'll have a steak as they looked amazing and I heard people compliment them. This place puts customer satisfaction first, even though they were very busy no one appeared stressed, orders were taken and food arrived promptly, this is a feel good family restaurant and I'll be returning with mine!

Visited here with my family 5 adults and one child recently and the food was absolutely fab however the service let them down. The server went to take our order and then ran off to do something else and all the way throughout our lunch servers reached over us and in one case almost hit my mother with the plate whilst lifting it. I have been here before and will probably go again to make sure they were just not having an off day. A little disappointing cause I had my family with me.

meal was very good as usual but service was very slow to enable us to complete our meal in a reasonable time. Had to chase a waitress to get our desert and ask for our bill to enable us to leave within one and half hours! We arrived at 12.30 am and were surprised to see a member of staff who started mopping the floor in two areas of the dinning room. The wet mop smelt awful in a dinning room and I noticed that there were no warning signs put up which I thought was very dangerous. I was not surprised when a little later a waitress entered the dinning room slipped to the ground and broken dishes and hot food was flying about the place between customers! She hurt her knees!!.
