Lovely receptionist who was very accommodating upon arrival. Room was well presented and clean. Large double bed was comfortable. Bar and restaurant seemed busy however we didn’t eat there. Lovely breakfast with plenty options and the staff were very attentive. Plentiful car parking nearby. Would definitely recommend as a base for exploring west cork

Really nice hotel .. staff extremely helpful and friendly. Food in the bar was good however I was a bit alarmed at the bright yellow sauce that came with the sea bass but food was delicious. Room was very spacious and recently refurbished shower room was fab. Overall very nice and good value for money.
