Majestic ruins sitting high on the rocks with fantastic views all around. The ruins are beautiful, stone detailing is abundant through the site and the round tower is a true highlight. 8 euros to visit, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Does get quite busy in the afternoons!

Took my kids (8&12) who enjoyed the castle for 20 minutes or so. We didn't take the guided tour, just walked around. The cemetery was impressive to the kids, so was the kitchen display. I enjoyed it a lot! Worth the visit in my opinion. We walked around town afterwards, nice little place.

An absolute gem!!! No wait for early morning entry. Recommend the tour for more in depth history. Allow about 2 hours overall. Well maintained ruins and graveyard. A must see when in southern Ireland.

Had a great time at the old castle. Paid a small fee to enter. Parking is at the bottom, small fee as well. Did not paid the extra for the guided tour, we were able to walk almost evyehere except the chapel. Amazing views of the near by city.

Amazing ruins with breathtaking views. We arrived very early as it was our 2nd stop on our tour. Our small tour group were the only ones there at 8am, but others were arriving as we were ending our tour. There is a lot of walking so bring comfortable shoes.

We had visited 8 years ago and we not able to go into the castle so it was exciting to be able to go up and visit and have a tour this time! What an interesting history, from the early celts and crowning of kings to the bishop and his domain.

Quick stop for us while driving to Ennis. This place a is a must stop for incredible views of the castle ruins and the landscape surrounding it. Although the castle is in decay it was fun to explore every corner of its history. There’s also a very informative 10 minute video you can watch in the chapel

Very great products and met friendly people. Anyone visiting Rock of Cashel should definitely take a look here.

This gift store is located just outside of the Rock of Cashel. I found a magnet here and then just browsed around. They have dollar bills on the walls from around the world that people have signed,m which was neat. I was able to find someone from just a couple hours away from where I live.

I visited this cute little shop at the beginning of October while passing through and seeing the Rock of Cashel. This was a long awaited trip from the United States that was originally put on hold in 2020. Ended up buying a sweater there that I love (actually wearing it now). The shop owner was the nicest person and was so appreciated of my purchase due to tourism being stopped for so long. Please shop here. I highly recommend for all things Irish.

Quaint shop. We were on a shore excursion and this shop was on our way back to the meeting place after our tour of the Rock of Cashel. I found a beautiful moss green sweater - perfect for winter weather. 100% virgin wool. Soooo soft.

I brought my family to this adorable shop several years ago while I was studying abroad in Limerick and we were out site seeing. We ended up buying scarves, gloves and hats and couldn't have been happier. Later that year, I was gifted a gorgeous green, quarter zip sweater from this establishment for Christmas and it's my absolute favorite! This year I bought my father the Aran crew neck sweater for Christmas and can't wait for him to see it. This store is fantastic and I will definitely be making a special trip if I visit Ireland again. Would give more than 5 stars if I could.

Went to visit the Rock of Cashel a few days ago, and was disappointed that the castle appeared to be closed for some sort of renovations. Luckily the visit was not wasted, because we found this lovely little shop instead! The shopkeeper was delightful. I found a wonderful Aran wool sweater for myself and a couple gifts for friends. Highly recommend! Definitely make the trip here if you're exploring the Limerick area!

Hands down one of the best ladies I met in Ireland. She was very helpful, knowledgable, and cheerful! The shop has a great selection of beautiful wool items made in Ireland. All around great experience!

We visited the museum and had a tour with the proprietor (Bernard). This was such a special place but what made it impactful was the owners knowledge and passion for Ireland and its history. Recommend this to anyone going to Ireland especially those interested in learning about her rich history and fight for freedom.

Bernard was really knowledgeable and passionate about his museum. He was very kind and accommodating. He told us about every piece in his collection which was very interesting and you could tell how passionate he was about his work. I would 100% recommend visiting. He has the most comprehensive private collection of historic Irish memorabilia- from war of independence pieces to ancient natural history items

Bernard was a joy to meet, so knowledgeable and informative, it’s people like him that bring history to life. This museum is well worth the visit and is just around the corner from the Rock of Cashel.

Good historical place where can get know Irish history to know. Can get good stories to know...

This was the highlight of a touring day in Cashel. I see in some other reviews that this museum is not as polished as some publicly run museums but don't let that put you off! This museum was absolutely charming and full of rare and interesting artefacts. Bernard, who runs this private museum, greeted us warmly and proceeded to give us a fascinating overview of Irish history. He then pointed out some of the more significant items interesting to us in particular. I could have listened to Bernard all day. This place is a gem. Thank you, Bernard!

It would be easy to underestimate this small museum. Bernard is a passionate student and teacher of Irish history. His collection has been gathered together and meticulously researched. On the small premises he has gathered so many genuine artifacts. While it may not have the expensive polished modern presentation of a public museum, it more than makes up for in detail. Bernard does not pull any punches telling modern Irish history and has discovered and rescued items that give more colour and depth to Irish life over the last two hundred years. A must for anyone who wants to get “beneath the surface”

A must see for history lovers. The museum is full of priceless artifacts from prehistoric art to weapons used by the early 20th century irish resistance. The tour guide was accommodating, knowledgeable, and had an answer for every question I had and more. I learned some great information about everything from James Connelly and Michael Collins to Cromwell. My girlfriend found it on accident as we were only stopping through Cashel and correctly thought that I would love it.

Stunning setting, fantastic facilities, beautiful meal and wonderful show. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit from start to finish. Will definitely revisit next summer

I feel cheated. This is not worth €5 to expose yourself to toxic mold in a theatre that they say is new exhibition. The cheek of them to say that when the footage is from the 2000s. Then you have the daft video with horns blaring so loud it wrecks your ears. There is like ten artifacts in the entire route which would take literally one minute to walk. Oh and great help for people with disabilities, the lift doesn't even work. No way down to the main building unless you take steps so it is not wheel chair accessible anyway. The toilets are down a bunch of steps too. How can somewhere not be wheel chair accessible? This was an absolute joke and I am actually angry. I paid €10 for the pleasure of taking my husband into a toxic mouldy underground pit. I had to work an hour of my job at min wage to afford to have the piss taken out of me. It should be free or only a euro. It's ridiculous and a scam.

We came here for their evening music and dance performance. The music and dancers were great and afterwards they had an informal, interactive session where you got to see everyone in a more casual environment where they shared some scones and tea with us (alcoholic drinks were also available for a reasonable cost), taught us an easy dance and both the performers and the guests could sing, play music, and share in the evening's entertainment. Super fun and would highly recommend it!

We visited this heritage centre just after visiting the nearby landmark medieval Rock of Cashel. It's an excellent venue for dining and Irish heritage entertainment. After browsing through the craft shop we had a light lunch here which was just perfect. Great food and great hospitality by a very friendly wait staff and thank you for accommodating my special dietary needs.

Craft shop, Theatre, Tourist information Centre, Cafe, Restaurant, Genealogy Centre, Undergound Interactive Exhibition (Sounds of History), Teach Ceoil and everything in between! You can't miss visiting Brú Ború when passing by Cashel. Brú Ború is right at the foot of the Rock of Cashel (entrance through the Rock of Cashel carpark!) Get a free entrance to the Rock of Cashel when you spend €15 in their craft shop/cafe!

Right here, I want to bury the hatchet firmly in all previous reviews on the food served here, the service, & the show itself - I HAD to peronally congratulate the Staff for their impeccable work on the night I visited. Breanna, Rebecca... Every staff member showed hospitality so faultless I felt like a true VIP. Mark, the chef, certainly demonstrated his talent that night. The 3-course set menu (with coffee to finish), costing €28, may initially sound a bit expensive but the dining experience is well worth it:- Whether you order Salmon, Beef or Chicken, pure pleasure is what you'll be served. Perfectly balanced flavours, perfectly cooked, & perfectly proportioned (big enough to fill a hard-working New Jersey police officer). Once you've had your fill it's on to the show (€20, starting at 9pm during the Summer months):- A joyous spectacle of music & river dance performed by the very staff who served you your meals. Although it may not be up for any Oscar nominations, there is no denying the incredible talent exhibited by the musicians & dancers - you can't help but clap along... And be prepared to continue clapping along after the show, or even particpate yourself, as they continue to perform long into the night, just for the fun of it. Just under €50 for over 5 hours of excellent food & entertainment, and a whole host of new friends -- well worth every cent.

Excellent evening entertainment from skilled musicians and dancers. Just over an hour of joyous music and dance....then free scone and tea with a more informal session of song and dance with audience participation. Great evening out

Easy parking though be careful of tourists wondering all over the road. Toilet block between carpark and the Rock of Cashel. Tour well worth it to understand the history of the site.

There were no spaces available, so we waited 20 minutes for a space to become available to park our motorhome before getting out again. 20 minutes that cost us €4.50 even though we didn't even get out of the vehicle.

A most scenic spot the car park. Great views of the Rock from here, you can see why it remained a well-defended spot for so many centuries.

Had to request a lost ticket and pay 4.50eur to exit the car park when I arrived past 18.30 and tried to leave before 7.30. The barrier wouldn't lift otherwise. The operator I got on the interphone has been rude and not understandable. Bad experience unfortunately for me... Edit: I have sent a reimbursement request to the Co Tipperary customer service that has been accepted.

Terrible parking, no sign for available spots and now way of queuing. Waited 25 mins before finding a spot, while I had to argue and block a road to kinda queue up for it.

Unfortunately there wasn’t a space available so I couldn’t park there. But I wasn’t charged to drive though and check if there was space available.

No proper display of the route to car park. Unmanned expensive limited parking. Hardly a few spots to park. Not worth the visit one bit. Just a bunch of ruins like the ones you have all over Ireland.Skip if it's in the itinerary. Wasted time just trying to find the extrance to the place. Confusing no entry entrance on google maps. Park at rock house restaurant for good food and walk to the rock of cashel instead if adamant to visit.

This place is alright. Most people only stay for 5 minutes and leave. The castle was closed. The area is convenient since the main road has got a lot of shops on it.

Great place to visit if you like the old architecture

Granny's Kitchen is a wonderful little cafe a stones throw away from the Rock of Cashel! Stop in for some coffee and scrumptious desserts. The Carrot Cake was delicious and the Rhubarb Tart with fresh whipped cream from a local farmer was fabulous! We also enjoyed the root vegtable soup and brown soda bread! What made this cafe extra special was Annie and the rest of the staff. We felt welcomed and received first rate service, as we enjoyed our lunch on the outside patio! I highly recommend you stop by for a bite and say hi to Annie for me!

Very cute little spot to escape the Irish elements. Simple well priced food and drink options. We had tea, cake and soup, and it really hit the spot.

This cafe is absolutely lovely! The cake was soo good! We had the apple tart, the lemon cake and the Bakewell tart and they were all delicious. The owners of the cafe are incredibly nice and welcoming! It’s the perfect place to eat after visiting the Rock of Cashel.

Popped in at the end of the day, having been up to the rock of Cashel. Warm welcome and lovely garden with sunshine. After ordering tea we were tempted by the whiskey fruit cake…. And we were not disappointed 😋 On paying the gentleman serving gave us some pointers for Cahir which was our next stop. Definitely worth a visit!

Simple but tasty food with a selection of different sandwiches. Good value. Highlight was the slice bakewell tart and the friendly kitty in the outside seating!

Best vegetable soup. Small shop with quality food. Yummy baked goods and sandwiches. We got the carrot cake, whiskey cake, and coffee walnut cake as well as the soup and coffees. All were excellent. Great value and wonderful service. I would have posted pictures but my family devoured everything so fast.

Great stop for a quick bite to hold over after a long day of exploring. Gentleman working the counter was very friendly and gave us exact directions for a more scenic route to our destination. Absolutely fantastic. Thank you again!

Wow! Five stars all around. Dinner and dessert options were fantastic. I recommend the lamb and the sticky toffee pudding. Both were so good. Environment is obviously amazing as well! I would come back here.

We drove an hour to Chez Hans because the food is that good. The Sunday lunch was fantastic—each dish beautifully presented, full of fresh, seasonal flavors and great textures. The quality really shines through, and we wouldn’t hesitate to come back for this memorable meal. My all time favourite is the beef ribs :)

10/10, one of the finest restaurant experiences in Ireland. We have brought some groups of friends here who have never been before, and they have all been blown away. The experience starts in the bar with pre-dinner drinks and top class service from the No.1 barman, Seamie. Such a great character and sets the tone for any great evening. Our meal was fab, from starters to deserts. Everything was delightful and served with an abundance of professionalism and friendliness. The staff here are very well trained in hospitality and you can easily see the difference. We will return here, again and again. Well done team Hans, keep up the great work 👏

Fantastic. Pre drinks area nice and intimate with a very friendly attentive barman. Restaurant area feels very cosy yet spacious with gorgeous lofted church ceiling and interesting paintings adorning the walls. Wait staff are very accommodating and plesant. Food was simply divine I had the duck starter and wow!! Mains were lamb 3 way which I would highly recommend and my husband had the fillet of steak - also amazing, nicest we have both tasted!! For dessert I had the coffee semifreddo and it was divine!

Obviously, the atmosphere, being a former church, is without rivals. And as you can expect, the staff is great at everything they do. But honestly? we return here time after time for the food. This may just be the best restaurant we've eaten at in Ireland, and it fully deserves the reputation it has. Everything, from the drinks, to the bread, to the starters, to the mains, to the deserts, is top quality and leaves you wanting for more. In conclusion: highly recommended. *While the menu changes over time, we've found that the sticky toffee pudding is always on the menu, and it is superb.

Chez Hans is a joy of a restaurant- Delicious cooking- our go to with foodie friends-quintessentially Irish-local-friendly-with a quality of cooking that stands up to the best. The fish is excellent, the care with vegetables, what can I say, it is where I brought my children to give them a joy of food, of gathering. Thankyou to the Mathias family for your commitment to great food and hospitality.

We visited in November the food was lovely with exception of chips which were very bad, there were like boiled potatos with one lucky properly fried one chip. I ate cezar salad which was ok Lamb shoulder which was delicious And chocolate musse which was nice but was to much crumble pieces for me and not enough of musse. My husband had beef carpaccio ( i hope i spelled that right) which was ok He had duck leg which was the most delicious duck we ever ate, and he had sticky toffee pudding which he said that was the best he ever has and he enjoyed the pudding a lot. The atmosphere was nice. Service was interesting...... As we entered we were seated in a bar area at the tiny table and we were given a menus and as we are there first time we were thinking thats it, thats the place, and we were puzzled how the plates will fit on those tiny tables -no one from staff mentioned that is the waiting area and we will be seated elswere later. . First time there we knew nothing about the place. About 10minutes later we were told that out table is ready and we were shown to bigger dinning room. The place was nice and clean. We were served by 2 different people which which from we got totally oposite vibes from. The lady in her 50s with no smile, with no hapiness that she did not like to be there. Not very welcoming, kind like she was in pain or something. At the end i believed that she was going to ask us if the food was ok but instead she said " the food was ok, right?" and she didnt wait for an answer from us, she just asked and answered her own question. On the other hand the male server in his 50s or 60s was a delight, smile, beautiful happy energy radiating from him. Very welcoming. After we paid our bill, my husband went to use a restroom and i waited in the hallway and this nice waiter noticed me waiting there and he bring me a chair to seat. Outstanding manners. We will return for sure

A must-visit spot! Spearman’s is a gem of a family-run bakery with outstanding service and great value. Hannah is always so warm and welcoming — she really adds to the experience. The fruit scone is a must-try, and we always go for the toasted sandwiches and soup. The soup is consistently delicious and perfectly seasoned. Fast, friendly service every time. Highly recommend!

Everything here was amazing great coffee, tasty food, and super friendly staff. Definitely coming back!

Lovely cafe with nice and delicious cakes and muffins ☺️

Nice place for a quick stop for lunch or something sweet, great coffee too!

Food was pretty good. People were pleasant. If you eat here (or many other places in town) you can get free passes to the Rock of Cashel.

Sweet little place. Very friendly people. Only had coffee, but others were eating pastries and other baked goods. Good coffee, they bring to your table.

Nice little place for a scone and tea. Super friendly people. Had a long chat with the owner about travels and such. They don't do the vouchers for free entrance to the Rock, but the food is freshly baked, and the tea is hot.

Would I Recommend It - ✔ YES Would I Return - ✔ YES This place is one heck of a joint. In a quiet area just steps from the Rock of Cashel, this little cafe serves up meals big on Flavour and Quality. 🔹️First - The table bread - Yes...I said Table Bread and, it was Fantastic. I wish every meal I ever ate came with brown bread scattered with seeds and sprinkled with the most delicious flaked salt. 🔹️Salad - Goats Cheese Salad with Couscous. Whipped, light as air cheese with a creamy consistency. The slightly charred and juicy tomatoes together with fresh garden herbs really made a simple salad into something special. 🔹️The Main Course - Salmon with Vegetables and Mashed Potatoes. Perfectly cooked, delicious flakey Salmon. 🔹️Dessert- It was like a sticky toffee fig cake and a twinkie mated. A wonderful meal, in a beautiful place.

Great little restaurant/cafe that sits at the base of the Rock of Cashel. The Cafe is only open for breakfast and lunch (the Hanz restaurant opens for dinner) and the food was fantastic, probably one of the best meals we had in Ireland. The place is rather small, as a party of 2 at 1pm, we had to wait about 10 minutes for a table so be prepared if you have a large group.

We chanced on this wee place a week after it reopened (post Covid, I think). Good coffee, really tasty (and big!) chocolate chip and nut cookie baked fresh on site. Reasonably priced. Attentive and friendly staff. Their ice cream made on site looks good too, although we didn’t try it. Clean toilets.

Wonderful food and nice place. We enjoyed it very much. Great local flare!

Small cafe near Rock of Cashel where my wife and I stopped for a late lunch. The place was busy and it's a bit crowded, but service was prompt and the food was delicious. My wife thought the mussels were the best she's ever eaten. I would give them five stars but they don't accept credit cards and there is no nearby ATM. Seems unusual for a popular spot near a tourist attraction to only take cash in this day and age. So plan ahead, bring some Euros, and enjoy a nice meal.

Lovely little spot near the Cashel castle, the food was excellent, great attention to detail and the service matched the standard equally! ✨

Another great culinary experience during our Ireland trip.

Not really a pub, but a gastro bar and restaurant. Loads of outdoor space, very modern and great staff.

Went there for birthday dinner, really enjoyed the food and service was amazing.👏 Definitely recommend 👌 😊

A delicious and elegant place. Good service, nice interior. I recommend to visit

What a gem this place is. Incredible food in a wonderful setting. ✅✅✅

It is a perfect lunch spot when visiting town, the service provided wa excellent!

Nice restaurant, part of the five stars hotel over there. We had Pan fried hake & burger. Unfortunately the burger was fully cooked, it’s a rule here. I didn’t enjoy it much because of this. The potatoes were so crispy!!! The Hake was excellent cooked and the pees pure was great! Highly recommended plate. As dessert we choose baked custard & strawberry tart which was nice, the ice cream was totally indifferent. If you are not a hotel customer you cannot seat outside unfortunately. There is some discrimination about it. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We paid around 30€ per person.

Went there for the first time with my wife. Great ambience with relaxed professional staff that are smartly dressed in a casual manner. Starter of duck confit and salmon was very tasty. The Hake was good and beef was tender. Good portions and well prepared. Tasty too. A great interlude for St Patrick Day.

This is a place where you can guarantee getting beautiful gifts at any time of the year. Very helpful, professional staff,

Really lovely modern and clean restaurant. Food excellent. Service friendly . Toilets spotless. Very cosy comfortable seating. Recommend 100%. Look forward to returning with my 3 friends who also loved the venue

Always love this shop. It's small but it's a lovely place to shop. Lovely clothes and I always visit the Christmas shop in December. Love the decorations.

What can I say. A inspiration of a shop to enter. Staff are so good and pleasent. A ideal place for a gift for any occasion

A quality gift shop selling beautiful stock from Irish artists at low prices. The service is exceptional and friendly.Highly recommended

Bought some watches, the lady was very helpful and a welcome attitude on her smile

Nice shop. Lovely lady working there. Very engaging and helpful

Very helpful staff and lovely Irish gifts and souvenirs here.

We went in and asked the staff for directions and abt the tourist spots in the area. They're very helpful and kind! :D Thank you!

Beautiful

Great information

Excellent service

Sorry its closed

Lots of information

Bit of a walk, but you can park for free! Definitely worth it.

A convenient 5min walk from the town centre, 10min to the castle.

Great free parking during the day. We moved our car nearer to our accomodation over night though. A few camper vans were using it over night.

Always avaliable place for parking, clean. 😊

Excellent

Free!

Good

They fed six of us on a dreary afternoon and we were very happy about that. To our surprise, this small pub had some pretty amazing food! The staff was pretty busy the whole time but they were professional and courteous to us.

Wow! We stopped by for a drink and lunch and sat at the bar We originally wanted to go in for a good pub experience. But we were very amazed by how good the food was! Got the fries and chicken salad and it was amazing. Staff was very friendly and even though they were very busy, they did an amazing job. Thank you!

Recommended by Raymond Morrissey. He was right, this local Irish bar is awesome. Had I known the fried Brie was that amazing, I would have ordered a couple more. The curry, chili and beef sandwiches were all great. Perfect Irish bar experience.

Just wonderful in every way. Delicious food, excellent service, great atmosphere. A lot of variety in the menu, including vegan. Some of the best house brown bread ever. If you need a great and filling meal, this is your place!

Absolutely delicious and brilliant irish pub atmosphere. We had the delicious fish and chips and the roast beef blaa, which we haven’t stopped talking about for a week.

Ian, the owner, referred us to Bailey’s for dinner. We had such a great time, we came back for a drink at his pub. Several servers and bartenders around town knew who Ian was and loved him. I can see why. I highly recommend this pub.

Best pub lunch we ever had! I had the pulled pork blaa, my hubby had the chicken deluxe toasted sandwich. I loved all the flavours in the pork, perfect onion rings and crunchy fries. Serving gravy with a toasted sandwich was a gamechanger and the hubby called it the best toasted sandwich he ever had jn Ireland. And very reasonable prices too!

Just as other reviews have noted, we came across Mary at the Rock of Cashal and she suggested we stop in after our tour and it was one of the best choices we made our whole trip. The menu was unique and great for kids and adults and a fresh change from the Irish Pub food we had been consuming most of the week. Mary and the staff were exceptionally welcoming and engaging with us and other customers. Well worth a visit and check out the view of the Rock from inside.

we stayed here for lunch after our visit to Rock of Cashel. we were greeted so warmly and made to feel welcome! The food was simply excellent. I have never eaten so well anywhere else on our trip to Ireland. The coffee and cakes were incredible! the owner was so accommodating. we will be back on our next tour of Ireland <3

So good!!!!!! Definitely check it out!! BBQ chicken salad was delicious, totally recommend! 🤩🤩🤩🤩 The people were so friendly and the food came quickly, perfect for those with tickets to the Rock of Cashel tour and such!!

Delicious hamburger and fries. Cold, creamy Guinness and thick vanilla cheesecake. Great atmosphere, clean restrooms, super fast and attentive service. Highly recommended.

3 minute walk from rock of cashel. My husband ordered a toastie, I ordered the pulled pork and my son had the kids beef burger. No complaints here. The pulled pork was tender and they give you so much of it- the sauce was on the sweeter side but not unbearable. My husband’s toastie was delicious. I ate more of his than mine. My son hates any sauce on his burgers so was very happy it came out with sauce or pickles.

Very nice Restaurant. We were hungry and looking for a Pub to eat on a weekend during noon but everywhere was full. We found this little gem and I had the best Burger I've had so far in a Restaurant on the British Isles. The Fish n Chips are very good as well. We had some self-made Sauce Tartar and some really good Ballymaloe Relish. Very delicious!

Great lunch near Rock of Cashel. Fish and chips was lovely and Irish coffee.

A hidden gem for a proper recharge between journeys. After dropping guests at the nearby Cashel Palace, I stopped by Room 4 Coffee — and I’m glad I did. The toasted sandwich with chunky chips hit the spot, and the Innocent juice was a nice touch alongside a quality flat white. Friendly service, relaxed outdoor seating, and clean presentation all around. I couldn’t resist trying the Ferrero-style cheesecake on round two — rich, smooth, and paired nicely with whipped cream and orange juice. Just the right kind of treat before hitting the road again. Great spot for chauffeurs looking for a quiet break or travellers passing through Cashel. Will definitely return.

This was the best coffee i have found in all Ireland and UK. They know their stuff. The coffee flavour was smooth and the crème was shiny and smooth. Quiche and chicken Ciabatta was delicious as well. Don not miss this spot for a recharge when in Cashel.

The atmosphere in this place is fantastic, the food was fantastic, the servers were amazing and very attentive. Highly recommend you to stop by and try the amazing food.

Nice little place, we had the soup with a panini and chips everything was very good. The cappucino was just perfect! 👌 Thank you.

It can be hard sometimes when you’re passing through a town you don’t know that well to find somewhere good to stop for a break. Having spotted the Badger & Dodo Coffee Roasters sign outside we thought “well, at least the coffee will be good”. It was! Beautifully made, it was as tasty and satisfying as ever. Nice pastries too, and most importantly, welcoming and friendly service. All in all, a great choice – just what we needed. Our only regret? We’d already had breakfast, and judging by the dishes being served we clearly missed out on not having some here - they looked wonderful. Next time, it’ll be a diversion to come here to try some, rather than just a stop off. Overall, highly recommended.

Absolutely delicious Irish breakfast. I must admit I’ve never had such a tasty Irish breakfast before, I highly recommend this place because it’s cozy, welcoming, and you can really see that the staff put effort into making the food delicious. For me, it’s 6 out of 5 stars. The coffee was also very good. Definitely visit this place, I will certainly come back again.

This place was terrific!!! They accommodated everything we needed, and we had some delay in arrival for part of our party yet they still managed to put us all together in the small space, and when the food came, it was outstanding! I had the celebration chicken wrap, my wife had soup, and as we left, I got A cappuccino, which was also great. Highly recommend Room 4 Cafe.

Not happy with this place at all. Got food and drinks which was fine. Got charged extra for the drinks for the return scheme. Fine. I went to return the cans and they weren't accepted. It's not about the money but they charge and then you can't get it back. I rang the store looking to speak with a manager and this man called Farhan or something similar, told me he was the manager. He said what do you want me to do. I said well as the manager I'd like you to tell me. I was told to ring back after 8. That's when the manager would be back. He kept lying to me about being the manager and repeating what do you want me to do. Not happy with this rubbish service.

Got “barbecue Cajun chicken bites” didn’t get barbecue or chicken in the yokes. The thing were the size of my small toe didn’t even get a single dip for free, driest bit of dough I’ve ever had (tried charging €10 for a dip) Brutal and wrotten

Just tonight I ordered 2 portions of cookies and 2 cokes and it took them 2 hrs to deliver it to my house and I only received 1 coke and half my change . They then proceeded to tell me they would be back with my coke ans money but they never showed up. They ran me 5 minutes after I got my order and told me that it wasn’t mine and that I ordered 1 large pepperoni pizza and a load of other things .

The food was so nice and tasty. The guys were serious but polite. I would recomend this place for a quick stop to eat something cheap and good.

absolutely unreal, who ever made the heart shape pizza with garlic bread and 4 cookies i love you absolutely impressive.

Very tasty pizza and promt collection. Parking space is limited

There should be an option to leave zero stars on here. Ordered pizza and chips at 5pm, at 6pm the online tracker said it was delivered so I rang to see where it was and I was told it is a few minutes away! I rang back at 730pm and the girl said she was just starting the order!!! I asked to speak to the manager who got completely aggressive on the phone saying they were very busy, when I pointed out that she herself said it was a few minutes away an hour and a half ago she hung up. I've tried to ring back 3 times now to get a refund at the very least but now it's ringing out 😤

Friendly service. Everything else was very poor, our food was lacking for the price paid. The mushy peas seen in the photo say a thousand words. Would not recommend unfortunately!

Good dinner, service is great ans fast. The bill is not expensive. Good place for lunch or dinner

Great service, food and price.

Was there with friends on a Sunday night lovely music and lovely staff

We had a lovely meal at this restaurant. Our server was kind and helpful, the meal was one of our best of our visit to Ireland. Not only was it delicious, but perfectly presented. They have some specialty beers that my son sampled. I wish they were closer as I'd visit more often.

Best breakfast in town. Variety, and most importantly - excellent coffee !!

We actually left here because the menu was terrible

It is okay to visit if you are going to see Rock of Cashel. - it is free to visit. No tickets needed

Free to visit, and a wonderful ruin. We spent about an hour here, wandering around the site. Lots of beautiful details to spot, and some friendly cows to say hello to!

Very atmospheric place, full of history. I love all sorts of the medieval ruins. Not many people around it was a but mucky on the way.

À beautiful abbey well worth exploring. The interior is spacious and well preserved. You can walk all the way around the abbey and enjoy its views from every angle. And of course, the famous Rock of Cashel is just up the road, clearly visible from the site. Only a 13 minutes walk from the town. Definitely worth a visit!

Beautiful, wild and free ruins just a 10 minute walk from Rock of Cashel, well-worth the stroll down!

Excellent views of the Rock of Cashel from the Abbey. But its a wonderful, peaceful place in its own right.

Serene, sensational, simple, saintly, secretive, and scintillating. Take the walk from The Rock of Cashel and enjoy a moment to yourself.

Great place. Much better than the Rock of Cashel located on a hill above the abbey. Walking down to it through the sheep pasture and then getting through the cow pasture is an experience on its own. The abbey itself is not crowded and well preserved. Very fun to see.

A stunning abbey with loads to explore. Its setting in the middle of a large field and with cows for company gets you ready to search out it most interesting little gems. The Rock Of Cashel is in the back ground and in a way they are both connected. Parking is on the side road and a its superb location to visit, cheers

One of my favourite spots in the south of Ireland. It is so underrated and well kept! It is also free of charge ♡ The ruins are gorgeous and certainly gave me that peaceful feeling that I look for when visiting places like these! There is a small cemetery at the back, and stunning views of Rock of Cashel. To enter you must follow the footpath into the private fields, please respect the fields and don't litter. P.S. When in the abbey, don't forget to look up :)

There is no good place to park but it's a short walk from town and there's a little walkway trail from the Rock of Cashel to the Abbey, just follow the signs for the Tipperary Heritage Walk. There is a gate at the entrance with a little information about the Abbey. There is a path from the gate to the Abbey that crosses a cow pasture, be careful to avoid cow patties. The Abbey has a lot to see and it's free. We stayed just up the road at O'Brien's Lodge so it was easy to get there.

This Abbey can be seen from the grounds of the Rock of Cashel and is within walking distance , probably 10-15mins. If you go by car there is very limited parking We went by car and what made this unique was we had to cross a field of cows to get to the Abbey which for us made it more fun. You enter at your own risk but the cows never bothered us. The Abbey was bigger than we expected and in good shape in many places. As it's in the middle of a field it also makes for some great photo shots . If you visiting Rock of Cashel then pop in to the Abbey

It's nice to be able to walk around ruins without a conglomerate of people buzzing about. If you want to examine some nice ruins not too far off the road this is a nice place. Plus it is a short walk through two fields beyond the Rock of Cashel.

It’s a beautiful historical place originally built in the 13th century. It has ruins but well protected. A bit confusing when you see the sign at the gate, seems like a private property. After talking to a nice local lady, I found that the building structures are Ireland heritage and government property along with the walkway. The surrounding field is more like private property since cows come to the area during summer. No designated parking but you can just park on the street. Free parking and free entrance. A roadside attraction from Dublin to Cork.

Great ice cream place! Excellent soft serve (really excellent!), served quickly and friendly. Nice table area outside as well to enjoy your ice cream in the nice weather.

Just passing here Sunday 26/10/2025 to get a crepe lemon& sugar and sweet chilli chicken panini takeaway and realised when back to my location Thurles: there was no lemon and no sugar at all in it. I could admit lemon may be absorbed in the crepe but no trace of sugar at all on the plate, crepe or even sticky foil. Disappointed ☹️ as I was also billed for the crepe and lemon and sugar price☹️☹️ Reason given when I phoned: young staff…

Great little snack bar with good prices and several choices. The staff are very friendly. I had the Tikka Chicken, only half is pictured! 🤣

Ice cream looks good, if you got the chance to get one. Staff perfers to talk to some people insted of serving people waiting there for a long time, so off we went again....

A very nice gentlemen helped us. He made us an excellent Mocha and Flat White.

Stopped in for breakfast and had a great meal. The owner was so kind.

Lovely icecream and lovely staff! Really is the best icecream in Tipp!

Wow ! We had 8 people at short notice. The food was amazing every dish we ordered was delicious and fresh , the service was fantastic and very helpful. Definitely we would recommend the satay chicken and spring rolls we homemade. Very happy customers thank you 🙏

We had Pad Thai noodle and green curry vegetarian and tofu with rice, it was fresh and so tasty. Good choice for vegetarian. Good value and good service.

To be fair, the food here is excellent. Great for freshness, and a lot better value than most other options. You just must be clear about what ingredients you don't want, but the food is great.

We were staying one night in a local camping park so decided to eat out. We walked around the town looking for somewhere that my partner could eat as he has a medical condition that means he has to eat very low fat. We spotted that they did steamed sea bass in Ruen Mying & we were sold. The food was exceptional. I had the penang curry with chicken & himself had the fish. So impressed. Don't hesitate to go here..

The food was superb!!! Every dish we chose was delicious and very very savoury!! And the service was excellent!! We would recomend 100%!!!

I recently tried out this place for a meal, and I have to say, it was fantastic. I went for the chicken satay with udon noodles, and it was really, really tasty. The chicken was perfectly grilled and had great flavours, and the udon noodles paired with it were just perfect. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try if you're looking for some delicious food.

Lovely place, very accommodating staff. Enjoyed the food, the black bean sauce stir fry was great!

Lovely spot for a day out. The animals were cute and we got to rub some. My little girl loved the quad train but the big hit was the soft play inside, both my little boy and girl loved it and played there for ages. Cafe is lovely. The place is so clean which is fantastic.

Awesome stop on our drive from Dublin to Cork. My 2.5 year old daughter loved the bunnies and other small animals. It was raining, but there were plenty of covered areas with the small animals and an awesome indoor play area for kids. The little cafe was the perfect snack and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Visited here a few weekends ago with my 1 year old, what a great day out! Lovely cafe, separate play area for younger children and then the amazing outdoor area with so many animals. The staff were very friendly and to be able to pet the animals was amazing, my little girl loved it. I was disappointed to see negative comments on Facebook about recent price restructuring, it seems that the owners were massively undercharging previously and are now charging reasonable prices. A family run great amenity for people to have in their area or to visit when there and worth every cent of the admission price. We hope to be back!

Stopped here to break up the drive from Dublin to Cork with our 3 and 1 year olds. We had some lunch straight away which was lovely and very kid friendly (plastic plates, plain no fuss food). Kids played in the indoor soft play and baby play area. Everything was spotless and well maintained. We went to the petting area and the owner was attentive and friendly introducing the animals to my son. Then he brought him on the Quad bike train and he had a ball. Lots of tears when we were leaving which is the ultimate stamp of approval from a 3 year old. Great outdoor play facilities too. Will definitely return.

Fab place!! Our 3 year old had the best time. Activities inside & out. The ride in the homemade train led by the Quad bike was awesome. Will be back regularly!!

This is a super place to tire out kids and stimulate them in equal measure. First timers here. I brought Granny, my 4 year old and >2 Yr old here. Charged €25 euro in. Definitely worth it as we spent 2&half hours between looking at the animals, digging in the covered outdoor sandpit, using the playground and go-kart track, exploring the indoor soft play area and even petting the Guinea pigs. We had 2xlattes at €3.70 each and shared a toasted sandwich with 3 toppings at €7. Overall the kids had a ball, plenty to do even in poorly weather. I'd highly recommend if in the area.

Visited this weekend with my (almost) 2 year old nephew and his parents. Was really impressed with the entire setup from the big indoor soft play area, to the petting farm, the barrel train, the mini digger challenge, sand pit and so much more. The place was spotless (well before aforementioned 2 year old dropped half his lunch on the cafe floor!). Food was much nicer than expected of places like this - had chicken goujon salad and 2 toasted sandwiches with chips. Very fresh and tasty! Stars of the show were the family and staff running the place. Couldn't have made us more welcome or been more friendly. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

AWESOME

Great experience

(Translated by Google) Very nice, but I wasn't really interested in who lived there and who lives there today. Were there for the purpose of a bus tour. (Original) Sehr nett , aber es hat mich nicht wirklich interessiert wer da gewohnt hat und heute lebt. Waren zwecks Busrundreise da.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting visit with a tour group. (Original) Sehr interessanter Besuch mit einer Reisegruppe.

It's a McDonald's which means the kids will love it regardless. Usually busy at lunch and has drive through. Clean and efficient service. Good spot to break up trip and get some food if traveling to Cork or onto Kerry.

I was one of I’d say about two orders and they still messed it up. Got nuggets instead of a cheeseburger in the happy mean and ice in the no ice drink. They just threw the order on the counter and walked away I asked multiple times for a new bag as it was ripped and I was completely blanked. I do not recommend.

Very good for a quick lunch when you are stopping for gas and other items, or perhaps you need a rest period. The food is what you expect for a McDonald's, but the featured chocolate pie is quite delicious. The restaurant is clean and well kept. If you are non-Irish, your debit card may have a hard time working at the kiosk, just order at the counter.

One of the worst McDonalds I have visited in a long while, two staff I spoke with on my visit this weekend and both were unfriendly and unhelpful, my order took much longer than it should, it came out about 10 mins after it cleared from the ready section on the screen. The team that gather the food and hand out the orders could do with some training and leadership to improve the customer experience 👍

A very nice lady named Owlen was responsible for making us feel very comfortable in the restaurant area. We have never seen such a dedicated and friendly service employee at McDonald's who was so eager to clean everything under the table and on the table spotlessly. Thank you very much!

I have been to a fair few McNasties in my time but this one takes top McNasty prize! The place was filthy with all the bins overflowing, dirty tables while 4 staff stood in the corner having a chat. Then when placing my order almost half the burger menu was unavailable? I did get my food quickly and efficiently, a big mac, no lettuce, extra pickle and 9 nuggets. When I tried to eat the big mac it fell apart due the massive amount of sauce in it. The nuggets were fine. The car park was much better than the inside of the restaurant, mess and rubbish wise. I am guessing this place only survives because of it location in a services. It is surprising the are managing to hold on to their franchise.... It's a big mac No from me

Just writing this as I had pulled into the Cashel McDonalds to grab some quick food for the day as I had a pretty manic day ahead of me driving up the country. As I was biting into a Big Mac when I was back on the motorway, I saw they had left me short of half the meat. The main reason I would order something like that is for the meat. Seems like an unlikely mistake to make but maybe I'm wrong. I would hate to think that this is sort of like something that they're trying to pull on customers who are eager to get back on the motorway.
