Bar in

“Katie served up a wicked expresso martini - brilliant service delivered with a smile. Keep up the great work - Thank you”

“We had just gotten off the ferry from Liverpool and seen our new house. Lily's was a beacon in the dark, great coffee, breakfast and service.Seeing as it will be at least a week before our house is unpacked enough to be useful, we will be back many times next week and for years to come!Sam and Kevin”

“Thankyou to the staff at McKenna's bar on the Ballyginniff Road for a lovely evening. You're all very friendly and made us feel very welcome. See you again very soon. Vincent”

“I just stopped in for a quick glass of wine and a cup of tea before my flight. Mark made me feel so welcome, he was so bright and smiley, and clearly works very hard. He had a smile with every person and couldn’t do enough to help. It’s lovely to have a staff member small chat with you a little bit, or crack a joke, it really added to the experience.The adorable little robots help as well.”

“My first dealings with the Boyles Coach Hotel was via a website which gave the BCH excellent reviews and with that I booked a room for the night.Some 2 weeks passed and I received a telephone call from Conor MacSherry who confirmed my stay and then proceeded to further reduce the price by 25%. So my immediate thoughts for the hotel were excellent and I hadn’t even stayed. He then contacted my 2 brother in laws and offered the same reduction and all this without the need to haggle.The day of my stay was fraught and we had to visit 4 airports just to get to our destination in Emyvale and to visit the grave of my wife’s late father. (long story..!) We eventually arrived at the hotel at 6pm on a dark and dreary night and our immediate thoughts was to get to our rooms and relax.We walked into the bar area where there were a group of people in high spirits and the rugby was being shown on the large television. Colin greeted us warmly and showed to our rooms making some talk all the while.It was apparent the hotel had some extensive works and it was clean, cosy and the rooms were of a high standard against the price paid. We quickly dropped of our luggage, had a shower to freshen up and proceeded down stairs to the bar.The bar area was small but there were plenty of room for us to sit by the open fire, order our beers and then just relax. We were then greeted by the staff who enquired whether we were eating and recommended several items on the menu. We ordered our food which arrived all together, piping hot and smelling delicious. (Ribs combo, fish and chips and steak burger) We then ordered the banofee pie which despite our full belly’s, was dispatched within minutes.The food was excellent and there was more than enough on the plates to satisfy 6 hungry people. The bar and kitchen staff were tentative to our needs and professional at all times ensuring our satisfaction. Elizabeth was our main point of contact that evening and we found her, courteous, warm, friendly as well as very humble, top girl.The room that night was warm, comfortable and despite the music from the bar down stairs along with some boisterous patrons (expected on a Saturday night) allowed for good nights sleep. We had the continental breakfast due to our early departure form the hotel so unable to comment on the full English breakfast ?.In all, an excellent hotel with excellent staff so we’ll be returning in the near future, thank you.”

“Almost like my local. Bar men have my drink started when they see me coming down the tiles. Friendly staff, always clean and tidy, but what is going on with the prices?? £6.99 for a pint is ridiculous in NI. As a result, there are dozens sitting but jot drinking.”
