Lovely place, staff very friendly but let down by the food and drink. Scone wasn't the best, to small and served broken. Americano was on the small size.

We really enjoyed our time here today. We eat inside the large teepee, next to the log fire. The staff were lovely and friendly and the food was excellent, thoroughly enjoyed it. There was also a musician playing an acoustic guitar and singing, he was great and had picked a decent setlist. Picked up a souvenir mug and went on a couple of trails in the wood. Would recommend it to anyone in the area.

Took a drive to Downpatrick and found this fantastic place. Had a breakfast bap and a coffee which was second to none. I’d highly recommend a stop in for breakfast or lunch and a walk round the trails. Great place 👍

Love the unique venue! Great place to bring young families and dogs.All the staff are really nice and the coffee is delicious.But the Burger quality was much lower than in the winter, basically flavourless with no seasoning. The waitress recommended we order the kids burger because it's the same size just £4 less, and I wish we had!We enjoy the walk but it's not long enough, listing out the different routes on a board is a bit of a joke because there's only 5 minutes difference between them.Also couldn't get ice-cream because it is in a shed which was closed, I asked in the shop whether we could get ice-creams and they said there was no one available to fetch them from the shed.They should make their bathrooms genderless because there's always a long queue for the women's while the men's is sitting empty.The car parking situation is not great, there's a queue running all the way back to the main road, and empty slots in the car-park because other people didn't park properly. If they had white lines sprayed on the floor then you'd be able to fit at-least another 10% more cars.Despite all this I'm sure we'll be back as everyone enjoys it as a fun little day out, just a couple bits which could be improved.

Visited for the first time just before Easter travelling from Newtownabbey. It's a lovely spot and we treated ourselves to coffee and cake which was nice, but a tad pricey. The trails are enjoyable with lovely views across the lake and wildflowers to spot along the way. I just thought the trails were a little short.

We popped in but we came at Easter weekend so very busy but since it is only down the road from us WE will be back. Lovely plants, gorgeous items for your home and really nice jewellery and if you are in need of a pamper for the skin or senses then your in luck. Come see.

This is a place where you can really "get back to nature". It's basically a restaurant in a giant tent with tables inside and outside. And most if not all of the food is produced at Finnebrogue or locally sourced. Their burgers, vegetarian and meat, are top notch. You'll never be satisfied with a fast food burger again.

Nice café in a lovely setting but slightly expensive for what's on offer. £8.50 for a burger with no sides is pricey compared to other cafés in the area, and for families the prices are likely to all add up. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Really nice, well organised to order and collect the food on my phone so we could eat it outside. The burger was really really tasty and so was the brownie I had for dessert. The hot chocolate wasn't as good, a bit watery and not creamy enough, but other than that, super fantastic location and a lovely walk. Check it out if you're looking for a nice afternoon out of the city

Beautiful drive from Lisburn to Finnebrogue Woods! On arrival there was a member of staff waiting to help get a parking space and despite being VERY busy the wait for food and a space to eat in the teepee was very reasonable. Followed an amazing burger with two fab hot chocolates which we enjoyed on the trail. Beautiful and autumnal. A perfect day out.
