Celebrating a Proud Moment for Our Family

We are beyond proud to share that our sister property, The Strand Cahore, has been awarded Gastro Pub of the Year 2025 at the Georgina Campbell Awards.

This recognition is a huge milestone for us. Over the past eight years, we have poured our hearts into building The Strand Cahore from the ground up. It has been our home, our passion, and the place where our two girls have grown up alongside us. Every brick, every plate of food, and every warm welcome at The Strand has been shaped by love, dedication, and an unwavering belief in what a small but mighty team can achieve together.

At the heart of this success is our extraordinary team, led by the brilliant Bernie Finn, who has worked tirelessly to create something truly special with us in Cahore. Alongside Bernie, our wonderful staff, loyal suppliers, and most importantly, our incredible customers have stood by us, championed us, and believed in our vision every step of the way. This award belongs to all of you.

For us at The Lansdowne Kenmare, this moment is more than just a celebration of The Strand’s achievement. It’s a reminder of what can be accomplished when passion meets perseverance, when teamwork thrives, and when community spirit shines brightest.

Just as we built The Strand with love and resilience, we are equally committed to creating the same legacy here at The Lansdowne. We are so proud of our fantastic team in Kenmare, who bring warmth, professionalism, and heart to every guest experience. Together, we will continue to grow, improve, and create a hotel that our team, our town, and our guests can be proud of.

This award is proof that dreams built with heart do come true and we cannot wait to see what’s ahead for both The Strand Cahore and The Lansdowne Kenmare.

Come and celebrate with us here in Kenmare, whether you’re dining in our café or restaurant, relaxing in The Poet’s Bar, or staying in the heart of our beautiful town, you are part of our journey and our story!
