Amazing and charming little spot just down the steps that are across Cork Street across from the base of Friary lane. Just go down the steps and follow the main street heading into town and it’s down to the right. Excellent breakfast, salad, pastries, and coffee! Feel free to tell them you’re staying at Martina and Paul’s cottage as we know the owners well.

Recommend for a couple of reasons. First, it’s a beautiful walk through town then along the river towards the bridge. The fish and chips is fab and generally there are a couple more food trucks including a wood fired pizza truck. And it’s all set in a nice little park overlooking the river and bridge.
You can search on maps under “Catch of the day Food Truck “

Drinks & Nightlife
Beautiful old Pub. Steps from our cottage. Unassuming exterior but a lot of history and traditional beauty inside. And a lovely pint!

It is a beautiful beach and tide pools as well.
Fantastic Beach. Beautiful stones scattered across the shoreline. Also good for windsurfing/surfing if you're brave.

There’s a great little hike along the cliffs on the south end of the beach. You enter through a little space in the fence. Beautiful views and some hidden beaches along the way. Mind yourself near the edge of the cliffs.
