Strand-Hotels in County Cork, Irland

"We stated for one night over the bankholiday weekend. Plenty of parking and a short stroll to the beach. Checkin was extremely quick. We had dinner and drinks downstairs in the lighthouse bar the food was exceptional and the service was fantastic. We used the pool and the outdoor hot tub which was lovely as pool itself seemed a little cold. We had a room on the 4th floor with a lovely little balcony which was unexpected that looked out over the car park and beyond. The bed was lovely and comfortable, the room is decorated with dark features including black paint but this showed up the evidently dusty areas of the room especially the radiator cover, while there was also heavy staining and debris on the carpet by the entryway and the water in the pre filled glass bottle tasted as if it had been there for days. The bathroom is lovely and similarly decorated however the existing low bathtub could be replaced with a lovely walk-in shower. We weren't told at checkin about any works going on in the hotel but we had our thoughts that there was because as we reached our room you could see dusty footprints emerging from a door directly opposite ours which was not a room this was confirmed the following morning when we were woken before 9 with drilling and sawing that was happening in the hallway. The guest directory said there was free WiFi but all networks were locked and no password to be found in the usual places like the back of the key card pack or the TV etc. We weren't asked on checkout how our stay was, just took our room number and said that's OK have a good day bye, seemed a little hurried even though there was nobody waiting behind us. Overall nice stay, top quality food and service downstairs but slightly better attention to detail in servicing rooms/ housekeeping and notice of possible works going on needed."

"Sehr gutes, guter Hotel."

"Liebe Frau Breda, Mr. Pat, Danke für einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt in Ihrem B&B. Ihr Platz war unspottbar und willkommen, und genossen wirklich das leckere Frühstück. Ich bin auch sehr dankbar für die Fahrt zum Busbahnhof - es war eine bedenkliche Geste, dass meine Reise viel einfacher. Ich habe Ihre irische Gastfreundschaft wirklich geschätzt und werde Ihre B&B gerne an meine Familie und Freunde empfehlen. Warmstark"

"Genießen Sie das in diesem atmosphärischen Hotel. Sehr gut gelegen. Sehr frisch Frühstück! Freundliches Personal Schönes Pool mit Bügelbad, Sauna und Schwitze Zahlungsfähig Die Aussicht auf unser Zimmer war auf einem Friedhof. Vor dem Hotel haben Sie eine viel schönere Aussicht. Es war eine Anlage draußen, was es nicht war, wenn man das Fenster öffnete, aber es war gut zu leben. Wäre dieses Hotel sicher noch einmal reserviert, wenn ich wieder in die Nähe komme!"

"As we were staying for one night only we weren't TOO fussy. We got a family room which was also kitted out for wheelchair user. Our view was of a tall, solid concrete wall. Friends stayed in a bright, sunny room looking out over the harbour.. Choose your room carefully if you are staying for a while and like a pleasant view. Breakfast was just okay. I had poached eggs on avocado, peanut rayu and sourdough. Felt it had too many flavours. Would like to have seen some simple breakfast options on the menu. Several dishes served with hollandaise sauce. I also noticed a few flies hovering around the food area. Would not rush to stay there again even though location was fabulous looking out over the harbour."
