After a very disappointing and despairing search for somewhere to eat in a Covid affected Clonakilty, we came across the wonderful, kind efficient manager, Leanne, in the Copper Pot Restaurant. The restaurant was totally booked out and under a lot of pressure due to Covid restrictions with residents of the hotel even waiting for tables. But after sensing how near to tears I was, with a special needs child, she pulled out all the stops to seat us in the lobby even though she apologised profusely that it wasn’t totally comfortable for eating. We were just so delighted to be feeding a hungry and cranky family and I am not just talking about the children! Even after all of that, she did all she could to accommodate two very fussy eaters like it was no problem at all. I have worked in event management, PR and have extremely high standards. Suffice to say if Leanne and her team can please me and soften my critical standards, she could bring a smile to many! She should even be on commission from the local Minke gin distillers and Kinsale’s Stonewell Cider by the way she subtlety suggested both and we both ordered more too. The food was lovely too, the chat with other residents and staff as well. But Leanne and her customer care will leave a lasting impression with us. Thank you.

Had a great time celebrating a birthday. Reception and service was almost perfect aside from a single miscommunication. Food was great, with only the baked potatoes being overcooked. All in all I would recommend, a great place to relax.
