Barleycove Beach

This unique and beautiful location felt like a true Irish hospitality experience. The grounds are old but very well maintained and preserved. Walking around the main house was one of my favorite things to do. The stone steps that lead to different houses, cottages, and buildings are very cool. Geraldine and her staff are extremely organized and easy to connect with. If you want a peaceful, magical experience this is a wonderful place to feel like you’ve gone back in time.

I love this hotel. All of the staff are welcoming, friendly and efficient. They do a lovely buffet breakfast providing anything I can imagine, including a gluten free section. It is convenient for Cork city but also Crosshaven and other areas popular with visitors. I highly recommend it

Beautiful, quiet and serene. Super friendly staff, and the food was excellent, especially the tasting menu. Had a fantastic if brief weekend trip, was very well looked after, including by Robert, our fantastic taxi driver, who was available as needed and super helpful. Will definitely recommend
