The place is perfect for a quick bite or drink before or after touring the Cobh town.

There isn't a bad place to eat in Crosshaven but this is the pick of the bunch. Food is always…read moreoutstanding (fresh, consistent, tasty, and often with a little twist/side dish to make it interesting), with a new specials board every day. Good strong (genuinely) coffee is complimented with a cake selection straight out of a children's book, which is also on constant rotation. The pancakes deserve their own twitter feed. The cafe itself is really relaxing with a great view. Its cozy in the winter, with a large outside area when the sun comes out. Staff are great and the place feels like a focal point in the town. Reviews always seem unbalanced/questionable without some form of criticism, but I can't be arsed trying to think of some small thing that wasn't a problem in the first place. Anyone who ever gave it all up to start their own cafe had this place pictured in their head when they took the plunge. Really looking forward to it opening in the evening this summer

If you are lucky enough to visit this town, make sure you drop into the Rivers End Cafe perched right on the edge of the river as the name suggests. It's a really lovely cosy cafe style spot, decoated in a nautical theme, with tables and chairs set outside on a lovely day like this. Food is really good as it's freshly prepared, but be warned as you ay have to wait a little while for service as they are so busy. They serve breakfast until late morning and a huge selection of delicious homemade cakes pastries and scones which are impossible to resist, not to mention a whole range of sandwiches, wraps and panini - served with a light salad. Lovely friendly staff, eager to help and make you feel welcome and wanted! Would highly recommend this spotlessly clean cafe in one of the most beautiful settings to be found around Ireland.

Location is prime from the train station, which is 90% of our travel during our two week stay... The station is literally 2-5 minutes from the B&B by foot WITH luggage. Upon arrival, we were kindly greeted and assisted with our bags up to our rooms(we had two). Linens were of nice quality, and the room, bathroom and common areas were very clean and well kept. The view from our rooms is breathtaking... Ours were two rooms that are facing the harbor, so waterfront for such a reasonable price! There are plenty of electrical outlets, all functioning well(this should not be of such a great surprise, but we're learning that some hotels, even of high price range do not have fully functioning outlets... Either not fitting a US converter, or not physically getting juice to all the outlets). They even provided a nice full size hair dryer for us. Breakfast was delightful as well.. My friends all raved about the blood pudding, saying that after being in Ireland for a week, it's the best Irish Breakfast they have had yet. Iikr to take longer showers, and there was ALWAYS ampul hot water/great plumbing as well. We stayed over a Friday and Saturday, during the World Cup... Which is apparently VERY big. There is a small bar/pub about half a kilometer down the road from the B&B, and they were a little more loud than desired, but I really feel that it's due to the big World Cup games, and did not discount my rating of the B&B because of it.. The neighbors that were here and talked at breakfast said they didn't hear anything, nor did our friends that stayed immediately above us.. So again... I think this might be an isolated item to mention. The gentleman that does the serving and checks the common areas was just the sweetest, so kind and very excited to be of any assistance to help us during our stay. *Side note: we dropped off out laundry for washing in the morning, jumped on a train and realized that on a Saturday, we were not going to get back in time for the laundry cleaner to close, so we called the B&B and they were kind enough to walked the kilometer+ and picked up our clean laundry. Again, very sweet... And they communicated by email, which my friend also found most helpful. Can't beat the price or the view. We would stay here again, no doubt.

"THE BEST FULL IRISH IN THE COUNTRY!!!!"…read more 5 Stars. Five. If I could give more I would. If you love breakfast, you need to take a trip to Midleton, Co Cork. At The Pantry, you'll be served what can only be described as The most serious contender for BEST FULL IRISH IN THE COUNTRY!!!! This is not something I take lightly. I have enjoyed far too many a Full Irish's up and down our fair island...and I'm not joking - SO MANY breakfasts. But never have been inspired to put my feelings about any meal in writing...nevermind post them online. Until now. I first wandered into The Pantry just over a year ago looking for a breakfast...we were met a smile and welcome from Gordon who runs the show. He was quick to find us a comfortable table with plenty space for our buggy (a high chair was available but we didn't need it) and to bring us some tea and coffee (both great by the way). We each ordered the Full Irish. Breakfasts are cooked to order and service is efficient and attentive. Food arrived in good time. Respectively, each item on each plate was cooked perfectly. Food was out of a frying pan and not a deep fryer. Each meal came with tea/coffee and toast...as it should do. We got to speak with Gordon after our meal. He told us about his experience running the The Pantry, about how they bake their own bread daily, about all the different local suppliers..for the sausages, for the bacon, for the pudding, etc. The Pantry is a bright and welcoming cafe/bistro serving a tempting variety of foods throughout the day. Go for a coffee and a cake of go for The BEST FULL IRISH you're ever likely to be served...go for the welcome alone...just go. FIVE STARS. 5! Following that, and in the interest of a fair and impartial review, I should mention the negatives: Each time I visit, I can't help but be reminded of the fact that I live 161 and a half miles away (260km)...and I can never help but think about how long it might be before I'll be able to get another breakfast here. That's me. That's my review. Cheers Gordo. You're the man.
