👍👍 Absolutely stunning place. There is a tea room in the Friary with lovely treats. You can walk along the shore and enjoy beautiful views. Be aware of ticks. They are plenty in the grass in the whole Ards forest park. Just stay on the paths and check your legs regularly.

👍👍 Amazing place! Needs more publicity! It's well worth a visit and staff are doing amazing work for these animals. One way system and regular guided tour means you don't miss anything. We may have been just lucky, but we got to see all animals apart from the lynx (an excuse for a return visit). Staff...

👍👍 My uncle and aunt took us here as they told us it was pretty good. Hmmm "Pretty good?" It is definitely not "pretty good" the whole dining experience was amazing. The service was outstanding, with kind attention, clarification and correction, where the kitchen was out. The meal itself was the best I...

👍👍 You can't be in Buncrana and not visit this place. It is one of the best cafes I have ever visited. We sat upstairs overlooking the beach. Breakfast was fab. We were waiting for the ferry to come in from Rathmullen. If we hadn't got the later ferry I would have went back in for one of the gorgeous...

👍👍 Splendid wee stop for a nice cuppa or bite to eat. Cozy atmosphere with a big fireplace inside. There are several old restored cottages for dining, gifts, and takeaway. It can get busy and if you are part of a larger group, book ahead for seating. But, if the weather is nice, you can sit outside...

😠 the main word to describe the treatment given my pet is “unethical” and certainly a reason for seeking legal advice. my pet was a client here while we lived in Ramelton, and then we had to move out of the area.. but then we moved back to the Ramelton a year later. while we were living elsewhere, of...
