Garryvoe Holidays from £204

Great place to stay while waiting for college to start up

Wonderful experience. Would stay here again!

it's student accommodation, allow for that, there aren't any provisions in the room. no tv, toiletries, aircon etc so go prepared. location is great, there's a Tesco underneath for any bits you need. staff are friendly and helpful. there are a couple of pubs over the road that serve late and get boisterous, would recommend taking earplugs. Great for a bed for then night or a base for exploring cork

We really loved our stay at The Dean in Cork. The hotel had a fun, stylish feel and the room had several great touches. The shower was excellent, the minibar had a great selection, and we enjoyed using the vintage-style radio to connect our phone and play music. We also stopped by the rooftop for breakfast, which was a great way to start the day. The location was very convenient as well, especially since it was only about a five-minute walk to the train station the morning we left. Overall, this was one of our favorite stays and we would happily stay here again.

Schull is a gem. Loads to do locally with lots of walks/hikes to explore and enjoy, which is why my wife and I were there. There is an abundance of water sports/activities available and the ferry to the islands.Each of the local towns have a trail head, where a number of looped walks start, and there are also walks to the next town where you can get lunch etc before returning to the start. The hotel is directly across the road from the trailhead and a large car park. The food in the hotel excellent, the staff are friendly and helpful, the rooms are spacious, well maintained and recently refurbished. The rooms at the front have spectacular views of the harbour and islands. It is a short drive to neighbouring towns/villages and to the Mizen. It might be a bit of a drive to get there, but I used this as an opportunity to stop along the way and (re)discover this part of west Cork; it did not disappoint, with loads more to discover when I return to the area.
