The Yeats County Inn Hotel

Visited the restaurant for lunch last tuesday 3/12/2024. Pleasant atmosphere with very friendly and helpful staff. We ordered from the specials menu; my colleague had turkey and ham which he said was very tasty however the boiled potatoes served with it were more than a little undercooked. I ordered beef served with mash and vegetables. The brocoli was inedible as it was very undercooked. I like my vegetables to be al dente but the florette was close to being raw. The beef consisted of two very thin slices which were so overcooked the meat disolved into shredded little pieces. When paying at the till I expressed my disappointment and received a perfunctory apology but still paid €36 for the two dinners. Having heard good things about the restaurant I was I very disappointed with the experience which is a pity as other than the food everything was good and the toilettes were spotlessly clean. ‍

This is the typical country Inn. Small number of rooms, super friendly staff, and true country setting. The rooms are quaint and comfortable. Friendly feel with books to browse or read throughout the hotel. The restaurant has great food, however in busy times I would make a reservation. The food was great! Lots of parking. There is a neighborhood pub just across the road. WE really enjoyed our stay

Called in yesterday evening, this was the best place we ate on our trip up west, very tasty , lovely creamy mash which is hard to get these days, good portions and great value for money . Staff very friendly too. Would recommend stopping here if you are passing. Mark

Went for a post funeral meal ( last week) November 23 . The meal was paid for by the Marist Sisters . The meal was booked in advance for 70 to 80 people . The hotel knew in advance the numbers that would be attending . All the guests were seated by 2.00 -- 2.15 pm . The tables had been set up cutlery , glasses ,tableware etc clean table clothes set for the function with water , and diluted orange at every table , all looked good everything presentable . From then on everything went downhill , the calamity began . Not everyone got a menu. At our table of 12 we had two menus, it was doable we managed but more menus would have been better. We ordered our starters and main . Then for some unknown reason everyone got a thin a slice of bread, even those who did not order soup but no butter ,no jam which I found strange . Starters randomly appeared in no sequence , some diners at some tables had eaten the starter while others seated next to them had no starter for another 30 minutes . The table I was at was similar some got soup some seated beside them didnt get soup until half an hour later , others starters randomly appeared or didnt appear for ages . I ordered the chicken vol - au- vent,, it took for ever , everyone at my table finished there soup when some of the other tables started getting the main course .when I started my starter,, it was chewy chicken gloopy sauce not great just warm not really hot enough ,took a bite plastic micro wave taste ,I did not eat it but since it was a funeral meal I did not want to say anything. At this stage it was over an hour since we sat down for the meal . I picked at the slice of the bread that everyone got an hour earlier , we had to ask the waiting staff for butter. At the stage some of the other tables started eating there main . 30 minutes later still we had no food . Our table and the adjoining table asked several times for our main . Staff had no coordination ,seemed like it was the first day for all of them . some tables cleared from the starter ,some not cleared while at the same time the odd beef main appeared at most tables with the salmon delayed . Again similar situation with service as for starters some had food others nothing some diners had finished ,some still no main which was what happened at our table . Very chaotic staff no one to supervise the service. Most at my table ordered salmon with one beef order . It was nearly 4pm when we got our main that was a two hour wait for most at the table. My salmon was overdone but at the same time luke warm in the middle . The cubed veg ,, carrot and I think parsnip hard luke warm , I picked at salmon and ate the bread which had been on the table now for two hours and asked the the other two diners could I have the bread they got ,, which they kindly let me have (since they cant eat bread)

the hotel reception area where we waited for a table to be available should have been enough to warn us. Carpet was very worn & dirty & definitely needs replacing, also the "reception area" would appear to be a dumping ground for hotel fittings. The lunch itself was very poor in that veg consisted of under-cooked broccoli & what seemed to be mashed carrot but it was flavorless so I cant be sure. the only plus is that the staff are very friendly & efficient. I will be avoiding this place for the foreseeable future. If i were to award points I would give it 3/10 & the 3 is for the staff.

Hotel itself could do with a bit of a facelift as it's very dated. Staff were lovely and room was comfortable. Restaurant could do with a vegetarian main course option! Good value for money though and close to the airport.
