August, 2010: Ireland's Blue Book is delighted to announce that Cork member, Blair’s Cove has made the “Irish Top Ten Places to Eat and Stay” according to the Bridgestone Guide of Ireland.

John and Sally McKenna, authors of the new ‘Bridgestone 100 Best Guides to Ireland’ have scoured the country in search of their favourite places to eat and stay. This year Blair’s Cove in County Cork has made it onto their “Top Ten list of places to eat and stay in Ireland”.

According to the McKennas’ “the dining room in Blair's Cove is arguably the most beautiful in the country, because even before you step into this gilded palace of perfection, you will have been wowed by its location, jutting out into Dunmanus Bay in West Cork.

The praise continues with Sally and John McKenna saying, “All you need to do then is add in fantastic service from Antje Gessche and some demon cooking from Richard Milnes, and you have one of the most magical evenings which food and wine -- and West Cork -- can offer. It's the sort of place where folk can get carried away, and wind up proposing marriage.  So, be careful. You've been warned.”

In a world packed full of disinformation, the Bridgestone Guides are authoritative, controversial, reliable and independent.  John and Sally McKenna have won the André Simon, Glenfiddich and Slow Food ireland awards for their work.

"Ireland's leading food critics...the wise traveller pays close heed to their recommendations." The New York Times
