User reviews
"Old style Brewery pub only selling their beers. Nevertheless they were very good. Very historic building. I did get told off for using a phone to book a Uber. Total my fault I did not know about the rule. It was handled very professionally.
But as a customer, I do not enter a pub and start to read all the signs."

"One of the best beaches in Northern Ireland, 6 miles long, clean sand and you can literally park on the beach ( be careful of the soft sand and don't beach yourself )
Views are amazing in every direction, it's picture postcard everywhere you look, there was even an ice cream van on the beach and a surf shack nearby"
