Overly expensive and underwhelming. Cold a dated decor including the accommodation. Reeks of no investment but maximum profit! Don’t expect value for money if you come here. Although a Michelin star restaurant, it feels very a thrown together menu!


Underwhelming 

Cozy atmosphere, beautiful boutique-style rooms and fine dining. After a day of touring and exploring the Burren, there is nothing better than sitting down to a gourmet meal before retiring to a cozy room.

Gourmet Dining in a Cozy Atmosphere

If you ever wondered about Michelin Star food you have to come here. We had an excellent dinner great wine and most lovely room. Even the breakfast choice ... We will come again. * Go and experience yourself. You will remember it for a long time

Excellent***** 

We enjoyed our brief stay at Wild Honey Inn.  We hope we will be able to enjoy a longer stay in the near future.  And hopefully this time we will be able to have dinner.  If the breakfast was anything to go by it will be superb.  

Timeless Elegance

An absolute jewel in every way.  From the moment we stepped through the door the decor delighted and the welcome was heartfelt.  Atmosphere was relaxing and comfortable yet everything was done to perfection.  Food flavours and quality stupendous.

A gem

Wonderful Wonderful experience.  A great place to stay and Wonderful place to eat. Fabulous birthday and wedding anniversary experience.  Really great place from which to explore the west coast of Clare. Definitely plan to return 

A hidden gem 

We stayed in May 2022 at the Wild Honey Inn. This was our third visit and each time we were again pleasantly surprised. Adian and Kate have worked hard to continually strive to improve an already wonderful Inn.  Adians food is uniquely pleasing to the eye..the taste and his food expresses wonderful slight nuances with each dish. The Michelin Star is well deserved. The Inn was decorated by Kate and she has designed the Inn with confidence in her great color schemes.  Everywhere you look she has added items to delight your eyes and make your stay more comfortable. The Wild Honey Inn is enjoying a Michelin Star meal while surrounded by the experience of comfort and relaxation. Hazel and Terry Conner (USA) Looking forward to our next visit.

"Pleasing to the Eye ... Pleasing to the Palate"

We enjoyed our stay very much. The Wild Honey Inn is very comfortable, pleasant and relaxing and and Co Clare is of course wonderful.  

I would however respectfully suggest that the pricing needs a little tweaking in context of the offering, notwithstanding the award winning status and the many challenges the hospitality industry has faced and is facing. 

We stayed in one of the 'cosy' rooms. The decor was lovely, very nicely done in lots of burren shades and natural fabrics. The bed had a good quality, comfortable mattress and bedding and though small the room was indeed very cosy. Although our room was street facing, it was quiet.  

The 'cosy' rooms (and most of the rooms are this format I think), don't have baths which is disappointing.   The towels needed to be larger and there needed to be more of them. 

The connection point for a TV was there but not a TV, which is of course fine, but I'd rather liked to have known this in advance so we could bring our own device. There is good WiFi.   

There is a lovely large, bright reading/sitting room and a really nice garden area.  

Dinner was very good, but there was a big hotel style efficiency/economy about it.  My roquefort and endive salad starter for example had a great deal of endive but just four tiny beads of roquefort cheese (and a sprinking of hazlenuts rather than the walnuts it should have included), and bread for the table was just two small pieces of soda bread. My after dinner tea (eur3.90) was not included in our set deal. 

Our meat and fish main dishes were great: perfect turbot and a beautiful beef dish.   

If I am absolutely honest, I have to say we ate better elsewhere in Co Clare with no less creativity and finesse and with more charming service and more thoughtful pricing.   

A 750ml bottle of sparkling water was charged at eur6.  Two Aperol Spritzes were eur30. Two Dingle G+Ts were eur23.  Two mid range white wines were eur24. (The wine list however is very good).

Dublin/urban visitors will be perhaps quite comfortable with these prices but the Wild Honey Inn is not in Dublin or Paris. There is a more bountiful feel about other country Michelin venues, such as MacNean House for example.  
 
The breakfast offering is not sumptuous but very nice. Lovely fluffy scones and muesli, yoghurt and fruit compote. The wording on the menu about choosing only one hot dish seems a little unnecessary. 

Two nights' B+B including one night's dinner was eur540.  Later in our trip we stayed in a Doolin guest house with a great deal more space and comfort, for a lot less.  

It is however a lovely place. Located on the edge of town, you are an easy walk to everywhere in Lisdoonvarna.

A little guidance on parking in advance of arriving would be helpful - there is on road parking on a first come basis, but more parking a little further away.    

As a general observation about holidaying in Co Clare and in Ireland at present, very little of the the government's maintaining of the 9% reduced VAT rate appears to be passed on to visitors.

Lovely relaxing place - pricing needs some revision

Before Wild Honey Inn reopens for the season I wanted to wet your appetite having stayed and eaten at this wondrous beauty prior to season closure in ‘21. 

Firstly, Kate and the team are what makes this Inn superb. From start to finish the welcome received, was pure Irish hospitality at its best. 

The real gem is the draw of the promise of outstanding cuisine. By God, it lived up to and surpassed expectations (excitement) in every way. Every dish, and I mean every plate of food presented, photographed (due to its beauty), tasted and then remarked upon as if ‘we’ were the Michelin committee rendered us speechless (almost emotional) that such outstanding offerings are locally sourced. We are two nights out of two. Why wouldn’t you?! Exceptional. 

The team are warm, utterly engaging, knowledgeable and rather humorous which was a delight and a welcome accompaniment to the the main event. I could go in but you’ll just have to try for yourself…no more spoilers…

Accommodation wise, perfect. 

This is what living us all about. Thank you to Kate, Aidan snd the team.

Simply the best…

The food and ambiance in the Wild Honey Inn is only matched by the friendliness of the owners and staff. We stayed for three nights and each evening the menu provided a selection of surprises that tap local produce to deliver Michelin standard food. A great wine list and a beautifully adorned room made the visit a real treat. Yes it is in absolute terms expensive but worth it next to other options at the same price inside or outside Ireland.
