Armagh (/ɑːrˈmɑː/ ar-MAH; from Irish Ard Mhacha /ɑɾd̪ˠˈwaxə/, meaning 'Macha's height') is the county town of County Armagh and a city in Northern Ireland, as well as a civil parish. It is the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland – the seat of the Archbishops of Armagh, the Primates of All Ireland for both the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of Ireland. In ancient times, nearby Navan Fort (Eamhain Mhacha) was a pagan ceremonial site and one of the great royal capitals of Gaelic Ireland. Today, Armagh is home to two cathedrals (both named after Saint Patrick) and the Armagh Observatory, and is known for its Georgian architecture.

This hotel has an excellent location just a few minutes walk to the city centre. Plenty of car parking space. The family room was spacious and clean and had everything we required. The swimming pool and spa area is satisfactory if rather dated. Swimming caps are required and can be bought at the pool. Breakfast is self service with a good selection of hot and cold items.

Been a while since I visited. I always order fresh cod and I was not disappointed again. A large cod just cooked right and with right amount of batter. Friendly staff. Clean establishment. Well priced. What more do you need.

If you have a taste for disgusting food served by rude and unprofessional staff, this is the place for you. A remarkably unpleasant experience. The attitude of staff ruined our night and the good was terrible. Spend your hard-earned cash elsewhere.

The food is good but the manageress is something else. Our bill included an extra item so we asked for a corrected bill. On leaving, the manageress blocked our exit shouting and ranting and falsely saying that one of us had left a member of staff crying. Eventually she unblocked the doorway allowing us to leave while she yelled âGet out! Get outâ continuously. All efforts to calm her were rebuffed. Never have I been subject to nor witnessed verbal abuse by management to customers and in full view of other restaurant customers. The waitress responsible for our treatment later said she wasnât upset; she just didnât like the tone of voice used when a revised bill was requested. It is four weeks since I sent the [-] family a recorded letter of complaint asking for a response to the false accusation and the treatment we received. There has been no reply. Are good customer experiences and repeat business not important to them? Be aware when dining here, you could have an unexpected and upsetting experience like ours.

This is our 3rd visit, and this time I took my son and daughter. The food is very tasty and a good varied menu. My two are dairy intolerant and soy milk lattes were available. We shall certainly visit again, also good to know is that they are open on a Sunday which is so good when we have relatives visiting.

We went to Digby's for dinner last Sunday, and much like other new parents in the area, arrived just before 5pm to get in and out before the restaurant properly filled up with patrons. While it's always a gamble of how your tiny human will react when out and about, we were never made to feel like an inconvenience... (incidentally she slept through until after dessert. Result!)The welcome was warm, we got a drink at the bar before moving through to the restaurant. Food was quick without being rushed, very tasty and portion sizes large. The hubby and I both really enjoyed our meal and the sense of normality of being out and about. And as locals, we will return again soon, perhaps to try their early bird menu.Thanks for your kind words Janine. We look forward to welcoming you and the family back.

Called in after visiting the apple blossom orchards in the area. Wanted to get a Sunday lunch. Plenty of choice on the menu, including specials. Service was First Class and the staff extremely helpful and pleasant. My wife had the Sunday roast, which was roast beef with all the trimmings. She stated that it was the best beef she had ever tasted in her life.I went for the County Armagh pork, with cheese stuffing, and mixed vegetables. Again a lovely, well presented meal.It is a bar on the square, plenty of parking outside and nearby. the decor is olden type with old pieces of nostalgia dotted around. The walls are a bit off putting, as very badly stained yellow, obviously from the smoking days, and this can still be smelt at times.The toilets would need upgraded.There is an outside Beer Garden? with a rooftop area as well, live music here on occasions.The outside area would need a serious update, very untidy and benches/tables would need re varnishing.Apart from this, it seems to be a very popular location, plenty having a drink and meals.The meals were First Class and would return again, but work would need to be done on the above mentioned points.
