Swe were travelling to Ballybofey and stopped in Cookstown. A friend recommended the Dunleath. When we noticed it did three courses for £10.00 we thought oops maybe should have gone elsewhere. We were very pleasantly surprised. My son had garlic mushrooms as his starter and he said they were lovely. He then opted for chicken and chips which he ate with relish. (pleasure not sauce) followed by chocolate cake He was very pleased with his meal. After I informed the very pleasant waitress that I had a severe wheat and egg allergy she went to check with chef. Upon return she said that with exception of two meals on menu the chef could cook anything else to suit. I had the chicken which was really good. My granddaughter had chicken gougons and she said they were lip-smacking good. A jug of orange and our meals came to £24. I will definitely call here again when I am in that neck of the woods. Highly recommended.

Visited here for an aunts birthday and to be honest I wasn't looking forward to it following a recent visit as a wedding guest. However ill be the first to admit the food was genuinely beautiful and the staff were lovely makes me think maybe I was just dealing with a bad agency staff member before. Anyway would totally recommend coming here for a meal I will certainly return Dear Eamonn33We were delighted to hear that your return visit to the hotel was a success. I appreciate you taking the time to review the hotel and your acknowledgment therein. We look forward to welcoming you back on many occasions in the future when I trust the above experience will be the norm :)Kind regardsPaula Wilson

Windsor Restaurant

Reviewed By EmLou101

Very disappointed. We ordered our meal just as Sunday carvery was finishing and I honestly think our chips were the leftovers just reheated. Steak was overcooked and not very tasty! This used to be our favourite restaurant but I wouldn't be in a hurry back. Staff are always pleasant and attentive tho. Dear EmLou101,Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback following your meal at The Windsor Restaurant and for your kind remarks about our staff. Please accept my apologies that you were dissatisfied with your food. We pride ourselves on our consistently high standards and can assure you that chips are always freshly cooked to order and never reheated from leftovers. Additionally, we would have been more than happy to replace your meal if you had indicated any problem at the time. We do hope that you will return for another visit and give us the opportunity to provide the quality of food and service for which we are locally renowned.Best wishes,The Royal Hotel

I am frequently passing through Cookstown and at a time when I am wanting to find somewhere to eat. I was with a group of friends so didn't want to create a scene. Two of us ordered the roast beef toasted sandwich and I couldn't believe what arrived. Two thin slices of cold toast with slices of cold roast in between them, topped off with partially cooked onions. At the very least I was expecting hot roast beef inside hot bread. There was a salad which was off-putting as the plate was heaped too full and it resembled a salad from the 1980s. I just don't know where the coleslaw came from, it was really white and most of the items on the plate had no flavour - the cheapest ingredients I suspect! Just a waste of time and money! Why can't kitchens take a bit of pride in what they send out to customers?

Lucy's Loft

Reviewed By Robert H

Lunch was superb. Not haute cuisine but without deficit. We hoped for a quick 'ordinary' lunch but what a surprise. Friendly efficient staff. Good choice of food. Coleslaw was in the top 1% of any that we have tasted. Everything seemed to be freshly cooked but there was no undue delay. Ingredients top class. Puddings - we only had one each but other choices looked equally good (what we ate was excellent). Decent coffee. And the overall price was surprisingly modest.
