   Nice atmosphere and food but disappointed only one tea or coffee offered along with an option for prosecco which was extra cost.

   Fantastic service and overall experience. Sandwiches and scones were delicious, desserts weren't great and not what was on the menu when we had booked. Would definitely go again though.

   The setting was beautiful and quiet. We had our own little area, decor was gorgeous. Staff were so friendly and helpful, each and every one. Food was delicious, could just have been a better selection of desserts with afternnon tea. Same bases, different toppings. Overall it was a really lovely experience and we will definitely be back. Thankyou to all at The Hardiman.

   Some of the food was stale or prepared earlier that day as the end of sandwiches were stale. A menu would have been great as we werent exactly told what we were eating, Maragret was lovely but her product knowledge wasnt great as she told us one sandwich was prawn when it was actually cajun chicken and another was ‘cheese and prune’ when it was actually goats cheese and beetroot, we werent aware what was going to be served so when asked ‘any allergies’ had I known one of the sandwiches were Salmon we would have asked for no salmon as none of us ate Salmon so found that a waste then when asked what the desserts were we were just told ‘a selection’ - The venue was lovely.

   Nice ambience, lovely girl serving. Hot chocolate nice but the sandwiches and pastries lacked finesse. Taste of everything was a bit lacking and maybe a new idea from the pastry chef would be nice. Very ‘hotely’ and not boutique enough for my liking.

    Was bought as a birthday present so was a lovely treat. However I wouldn’t be raving about it to anyone and wouldn’t go back as it was ‘just okay’. Best thing about it was the fantastic piano player who didn’t take a break in over two hours of gentle contemporary music. Ambiance was warm and we didn’t feel under any pressure to leave. Sadly, food was lack lustre and unimaginative. Scones were the best part. Desserts were soggy, as if they’d been in the fridge a few days.

    The hotel and staff were lovely. Nice atmosphere too. The food was lovely. There were two scones each, both of them had fruit, I'd have liked a plain one! But other than that the food was fab. The lady serving us was lovely and she made us loads of tea and didn't rush us. It was great value at €22 each.

    The service was attentive and the lady serving us was very sweet. Unfortunately the food and beverage was lacking. There was a hair in the water jug, the Prosecco was flat and warm (even after the Prosecco was taken back and new glasses were brought, it was flat, most likely because it was not kept cool enough.) The sandwiches were standard but pleasant, the sweets and scones were decent but could have used a little more pizazz. The cream for the scones was very disappointing, not clotted cream at all, instead it was lightly whipped and very watery. Also the placement of seating was very disappointing, there are lovely coaches in a more ambient section of the restaurant one would except to have afternoon tea at, instead we were put in a corner at the very back of the restaurant. All in all not a terrible experience but not what I would except from a place like the Hardiman, and not for the higher price they are charging, the whole experience felt like an after thought.

    My friend and I met here for afternoon tea. We hadn't seen each other for a couple of years because of Covid so it was a special occasion. Our afternoon tea was a bit disappointing, especially the sandwiches. My friend is vegetarian but the options offered to him were very limited. However, when we brought this to the attention of the serving staff, they did bring extra portions, plus a comp glass of Prosecco!

    The scones and cakes were very nice, sandwiches were very poor quality, processed ham and cheese, a scraping of egg mayonnaise, , the quiche was nice, we enjoyed our mocktails

    The afternoon tea was set up in the area just behind checkin, so was very open to public watching us eat. Service was slow and no one offered us more tea. Proved very difficult to track down a member of staff to take out money, went to reception to be told they would find someone who eventually arrived. Not good. Overall quite disappointing

    Staff were amazing so friendly and helpful without asking too much. Food was amazing and the atmosphere was lovely. Could have sat there all day drinking tea and eating mini cakes. Would definitely recommend and great value for money.

    Overall enjoyed the tea but was very disappointed with the sandwiches. Cheese and ham wasn't what we expected. Very poor. In all they tasted like they had been in the fridge, left out and then served. There was a tiny amt of egg mayo etc. The scones were fine and the cakes were lovely. Service was good but dissaponted overall Surprised for a 4 star. It was our wedding anniversary

    Price for afternoon tea for children is ridiculous. They’re charged the same as adults and everyone knows they don’t eat adult portions. Inquired about it but simply told they pay the same as adults. Waited 30+ minutes for the afternoon tea to come out … very slow very pricey
