This is a bustling little place! Not much else around. But they put their heart into it…read morenonetheless. Great desserts & scones. Hot delicious teas & coffees.

Lovely little craft shop and tea-room nestled in the beautiful surroundings of Drumcliffe cemetary…read more Keep an eye out for the High cross as you pull into the car park, it's a really beautiful example. The wares inside are lovely, especially the cards, they have some beautiful ones that you could frame as a series of pictures. They do fresh soups, sandwiches, quiches, salads and cakes. I had a really tasty panini with bacon, cream cheese and sundried tomato; the scones and cakes all looked delicious too. Worth a stop when paying homage to one of Ireland's greats buried beneath mighty Ben Bulben's shadow.

A. very enjoyable visit to the pottery factory…read more We took the tour and leaned about the craft and people. Everyone who works here is a resident of the town of Belleek. The skill is taught parent to child and each stage of the process requires a specialized skill. A throwback to olden days. The workers are paid by piece and any that do not measure up are summarily destroyed. We bought some items for gifts and for ourselves and had them shipped home. All very easy. No need to carry expensive porcelain on the jet. Highly recommend a visit. Mark & Nancy.

It's very much personal taste but I find Parian china beautiful - some of the pieces on display…read morehere are stunning to see. The generation before mine really cared for this delicate, almost translucent, almost weightless, fine porcelain (as they did for Waterford Crystal lead glassware) that is characterised by its thinness, slightly iridescent surface and body formulated with a significant proportion of frit. When made the delicate ware goes through 16 pairs of hands before it's ready to sell. I'm pleased to be the owner of some beautifully designed pieces and it saddens me that it's popularity has waned - things of beauty are a joy forever. The company which began in 1857 has had to to diversify just to survive as the current generation won't thank you for true craftwork that often is of itself an art form. Now they also sell cutlery, kitchenware, glassware, table lamps and so on. The village is right on the border between Northern and Southern Ireland - literally you can cross the border from the pottery by just a few steps. If you are close by it's worth a visit as it's not just free to go in, it's a living museum.

Great shop to call in. You can get anything from a Guiness to a guitar & spares / an accordion/ a…read moreviolin even a harmonica. If your bike isn't going right you might even get that " fixed " as well as geting a new harmonica / French fiddle to play on your way home. I used to call as a rep. a lot of years ago & you could even have got a cup of tea as well as a drink. Not too expensive & haven't changed. Gortin Man
