"Gorgeous, stylish and clean with an amazing view of Kinsale from the water. The houseboat was amazing - the marina ok. There is laundry facility but would not plan on using it."

Had the most wonderful stay at Ballyseede castle. Felt totally relaxed with a lovely homely feel. Staff were so nice and food delicious. Lots of rooms to just hang out and enjoy some quiet time . Room was lovely and comfortable with great shower. Beautiful grounds for walking around and just enjoying the castle. Fantastic stay overall.

Had a really lovely and relaxing stay at Dunmore House. The room, was very nice, spacious and clean, the bed was very comfortable. The shower room was modern and spacious, the towels soft and thick.
The staff were wonderful, really helpful and so friendly. Breakfast was delicious. We also ate one night in the Adrift restaurant, it was really good!!
Although we hadn’t booked a sea view, as no rooms were available, we did have views of the sea from our room, though slightly restricted as a side...

It's a smart place to stay, everything you need obviously. I was particularly glad for the lovely terrace to sit out at the end of the day.

We stayed here for 5 nights at the beginning of April. The hotel was fabulous & the staff were amazing very friendly & nothing was too much trouble for them. We stayed in a suite, pure luxury! The breakfast was lovely, continental & a full English cooked fresh to order. The hotel is spotlessly clean. We ate in Alfie's restaurant & can highly recommend as the food was lovely. I would like to say a special thanks to both Managers, Ivan Ashe & Steve O'Connor for making our stay very...

We stayed here for two nights whilst touring SW Ireland and the hotel is ideally situated for trips to both the Ring of Kerry and the Ring of Beara. Rooms and en suite bathrooms are of a good size with all the amenities a British traveller would expect - tea/coffee making and a hair dryer. The hotel bar is extremely popular with visitors and locals alike taking advantage of well priced and well cooked dining. My beef and Guinness pie on the first night was well packed with tasty beef.

Excellent hotel. Close to Cork Airport and Cork City. Ideal for a relaxing break. Staff worked very hard to make one feel special. Loved the method of registering and settling the account via a personal receptionist and being sat down at a desk. The gentleman at the door was friendly, welcoming and offered advice when asked. Taxi requests were responded to promptly. The resident's lounge was comfortable, a nice retreat for a drink following a meal. Restaurant excellent for both breakfast and an...

An excellent hotel ideally suited for a holiday or short break. The facilities were excellent and the staff and food spot on. Our room and the restaurant were overlooking the bay. The hotel is also next door to the railway station. Highly recommended!
