Townsend House restaurant in Birr offers a mixed bag of experiences, ranging from disappointing and overpriced tapas dishes to warm hospitality and a lively atmosphere. While some found the food mediocre and lacking true Spanish flair, others enjoyed generous, delicious portions. The breakfast and service at the B&B were highly praised, with some minor noise issues in certain rooms. Overall, Townsend House seems to cater well to different tastes, providing a comfortable stay and memorable dining experience for locals and tourists alike.
