All of the worthy winners received their awards at a ceremony on Tuesday.
The Twelve Hotel in Galway, Dax Restaurant in Dublin and Bar One in Castlebar were amongst the many winners at Georgina Campbell’s 2018 Ireland Guide awards on Tuesday.
The original hospitality awards, the recipients are determined by Georgina Campbell and her husband, W.M. Nixon, who lead a team of fellow food writers and other qualified hospitality professionals that travel incognito to every county in Ireland to gauge the standards at recommended establishments throughout the country.
The Twelve Hotel (Hotel of the Year) Dax Restaurant (Restaurant of the Year), Bar One (Pub of the Year) and Muldowney’s B&B in Donegal (B&B of the Year) were amongst the big winners this year, but there were numerous other gongs handed out to establishments and individuals in a wide range of categories.
We are so unbelievably honoured and will be doing all we can to live up to this, our greatest award ever. https://t.co/ri0PzIpWaK
