   Beautiful setting and nice and warm, but, the food was not great overall, €126 for 3 people with 1 starter to share, 1 drink and a bottle of water, no deserts, while one of the steaks was tasty the other was 40% fat and grizzle, presentation was also very poor as the steak covered the little bit of veg that came with it so when it arrived all you could see was the steak and a small tub of pepper sauce and a bowl of chips on the side, and all this for €36.50, ridiculously over priced.

   Dear John, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed our warm and beautiful setting, but we’re truly sorry that your meal did not meet expectations. We take great pride in sourcing high-quality, locally sourced meats, so it’s disappointing to hear that one of the steaks did not meet our usual standards. We will certainly review this with our kitchen team to ensure consistency. Additionally, we appreciate your comments on presentation and will take them on board to enhance the overall dining experience. We regret that you won’t be returning, but we do appreciate your honest feedback, as it helps us improve. Warm regards, The Schoolhouse Team

   Thank you for your feedback. Match days are always a busy time for us and we had a reduced menu in place to help ensure efficient service. However, we’re truly sorry that we fell short and that our service did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your honesty and will use your feedback to improve. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a better experience in the future. Warm regards, The Schoolhouse Hotel Team

   We booked a table for two to have an early lunch before the rugby match. When we arrived it was busy with many people going to the match having drinks and some like us having food. The greeting was friendly and warm, we were shown to our table where we ordered drinks. The menu as we were told in advance would be restricted but there was still a lot on it, I had the Hake with wonderful vegetables and boiled new potatoes. The sauce was excellent with mussels and many other interesting ingredients, my friend had the Wagu burger and chips which he also enjoyed. The service was prompt and professional. The overall experience was very good and the quality of the food on what was a busy Saturday was excellent.

   Everything was fine except the seating was a couch . I got them to move us to a high table which was fine . That area was dominated by a big tv screen which was fine by me as I was happy to watch the rugby

   Been a very long time since I was here. Nice menu. Good wine list ( not big but decent wines). Food was a bit disappointing. My main (rib eye) was a bit cold and the meat was not great. Also thought the frites were poor. The rock oysters were good - fresh and meaty. The rhubarb creme brulee was passable but the rhubarb could have been cooked a bit longer. I tasted the chicken wing tarter, the crab cannelloni and the chicken terrine. All perfectly acceptable.

    If you order desert, be aware that it comes only two full spoons of desert. Overpriced for small main dishes that are not quite freshly made.
