Wild Coast, Warm Hearth

“We’ve been to this restaurant several times and it’s always been really great, but our Christmas Day lunch here was on another level. It was absolutely fantastic. The service, atmosphere, staff, delicious food, value for money, friendliness and overall experience was perfect. Thank you to each and everyone of you who made the day so special. You did a great job”

“One of the best run boutique hotels I have ever visited. Lovely old building with house party ambiance. Food varied from good to outstanding. Accommodation in Garden Wagon was fantastic with an extraordinary level of attention to detail. What really sets this place apart is the staff. All youngsters but brilliantly trained to offer exceptional service with real warmth and personality. We were visiting on a Christmas break and can't think of a place we would rather be.”

“Delighted to review this place. From the grandioise building to the relaxed vibe at reception. The quirks and charms of this character filled establishment is very becoming. The food is exquisite, locally sourced and inspired. Choosing which plate to have was the dilemna. Ciara was top drawer, full of knowledge about the menu and the history of the building. Even got us a peek into the kitchen, thankyou! Enjoyed the laid back yet attention to detail approach. Its a place I'd happily return to.”

“The Pig at Harlyn Bay is exquisite. Everything about it, its setting, its ambience, its coziness, its lavatories, its solidness, its antiquity, its attention to detail, its cooking, its wine list, its cocktails, its real fires, its sofas, its wholesomeness, its clientele, its market garden, its walks down to a lovely and popular beach and beyond, its young but competent staff. its ecological virtue, and above all its relaxingness, is exactly as you would expect. We didn't stay overnight, but we had a lovely lunch on New Year's Eve. We had several drinks and a dessert wine and we had several extras. There were many highlights, but here's an example - an Italian style ham nibble was super, but transformed into a masterly exhibition of culinary understanding by an absolutely perfect and simple pickle involving onion and carrot. The offering is expensive, but not really more expensive than it should be. I was surprised that some hotel guests would have to go outside for a shower, campsite style, but I was not a hotel guest. Overall, The Pig is fine and good. Long live The Pig.”

“Fabulous hotel and restaurant. We stayed in a 'garden wagon' which was beautifully appointed. The outside shower is genius!! Dinner and breakfast were both superb. The only downside was that the beer selection was poor. However, great selection of wine. If you want to treat yourself, this place is ideal”
