Food Scene

I like very much both their indoor and out door seating. Fine dining - excellent food. More expensive than other places, but when you want a really nice dinner I would highly recommend this restaurant. It is my first choice.

Essentials

The Supervalu in Youghal is a great starting point to by your first round of groceries. They have all the basics. They also have a good fish department, good bread selection. They also have a surprising number of things your would only expect to find in a health food store like rice cakes, almond butter, numerous specialty breakfast items like chia sees, flax seeds etc.It is my first stop often even before arriving at the cottage or just after arriving at the cottage. The Supervalu in Dungarvan has a wider selection but is also a little further away.

Further away than the Supervalu in Youghal. But a larger grocery store. I go there if I happen to be in Dungarvan. Also if I am just arriving and on the road from the airport it is just off the main road. So can be quiet convenient after the long drive and before arriving at the house.

Groceries and other things - to me it is a bit of a box store and so I prefer the Supervalu. But there are a few things you might need from her that the Supervalu might not have.

A very nice small local fresh fish shop just across the from the Supervalu. It faces the parking lot. Google puts it around the corner, but it is not. The great thing about fresh fish, is it is really fresh fish caught that morning. Fresh fish just is so different.

Entertainment & Activities

This is a very nice music shop. If your are looking to buy a CD of a particular Irish music for example this is a great store. I have purchased many CD's here.

Getting Around

This is our excellent local tourist office. Ask there about local tourist attractions, where to go to listen to music,special events, concerts, the boat launch around the bay, whale watch tours. They are very helpful. Definitely worth a stop.

Shopping

This is an excellent sea food shop, I often buy my fish from here. Also your premiere store for Smoked Salmon. They make all there smoked salmon on location. And it is very affordable. I live on it while I am at the Cottage. And I also pack it in my suitcase and take it home to the US. There is no problem taking it into the country. They ship also if you need it. Makes a nice gift idea. Located just on the right hand side as you go into Youghal, about a 1/4 mile from the main road round about.

This is a wonderful pottery shop. The pottery is local and very attractive and well made. Great for taking home or for gifts. The plates, cups and bowls in Keane's Cottage come from here. They have also a very nice cafe and upstairs there is Youghal Craft and design center(Honeybee Hampers).

Sightseeing

I have not been into Lismore Castle. But it is close to 'The Vee'. A spectacularly beautiful drive, where the scenery climbs and dips and changes constantly to delight the eye at every turn in the road. The naturally growing rhododendrons, the moss hanging from the trees. It is quiet beautiful. There are places you can park and walk too. It is with looking up Lismore Castle and 'The Vee'. It is about a 30 -40 minute drive from Keane's Cottage. I definitely recommend this. Ask more about these at the Youghal Tourist office and see what you can find on the internet.
