Schull Harbour Hotel & Leisure Centre

A group of my friends met at Schull Harbour Hotel in Schull to research some genealogy for an American lady recently. We had teas and coffees and desserts. There was plenty space to sit at the table and spread out our research material and laptop. The room was bright and airy and spacious, so that every table had their own privacy. There was no pressure on us to leave and we also made some reservations for a future date in May 2025 for the American lady who will be visiting Schull to progress her research. There was a great selection of beverages and desserts available and the staff were extremely attentive and friendly. The sun was shining and we could look at Schull Harbour and the Islands while we had our meeting! All in all, an excellent venue for formal and informal meet-ups!

From the moment we arrived the staff and whole experience was fantastic. The reception staff whose names I didn’t get were so welcoming and friendly couldn’t have been nicer. The two women working the breakfast table were so nice and friendly.. the bar staff a Cornelius and especially Darragh were brilliant couldn’t do enough for us, live music on the Saturday night was great too and a nice vibe for couple drinks not too loud.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was really good plenty of choice from a full Irish to eggs benedict. Things that let it down is the Leisure Club. The ladies changing room was freezing and the floor filthy. No where to lock your clothes away although there are lockers but none all locked I presume they are for members!! the surrounding of the pool was very wet and slippery and quite dangerous. Only one part of the jacuzzi was working and it is not hot as it is in the pool so it is the pool temperature. The two jets over the pool were both broken. It needs a complete overhaul. It was a shame as it could of received 5 stars.

I stayed here for one night with my partner in mid December. We stay on the first floor. I have to say we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. From the moment we opened the door the room was immaculate and also had an extra bed for a double room. We had a front facing room overlooking the harbour which was nice. We also used the leisure facilities, pool was nice however the steam room I found was too hot for me so did'nt very long in it. The sauna was out of order when we were there, We did'nt eat in the hotel as we had other arrangements so can't comment on the food. Found the staff very nice and helpful even when I asked for ice in the bar for my room was no problem. Really enjoyed my stay. Can't wait to return!

The Schull Harbour Hotel is a good base for a visit to West Cork. We had a sea view room and the it was very nice. We ate in the restaurant both nights and enjoyed our meals. The only other place to get food after 6pm was the Chinese takeaway, so choices are limited once the Summer season is finished. There was music in the bar on Wednesday, it finished at 10pm and the bar emptied out, so there was little atmosphere. There is only one pub open in the village, so if you are looking for nightlife you are in the wrong place.

Just back from a two night stay at Schull Harbour hotel. We had a wonderful family get away. We stayed in the apartments with our baby and two dogs. Check in was so pleasant and the apartment was warm and toasty when we arrived. It was like a home away from home. Everything was provided to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to prepare family meals. We travel a lot with our son and he slept peacefully both nights in his extremely comfortable carry cot. Our bed was so cozy and the bed linen was fabulous. The apartment had a high chair which came in extremely handy. We also had use of a dishwasher and washing machine. It was spotlessly clean and the jacuzzi bath in the bathroom was a particular favourite for our little man. The menu in the bar is incredible and we enjoyed the most delicious cocktails on one of the evenings during our stay. We were pleasantly surprised with how reasonably priced food and beverages were. The weather was particularly bad during our visit but it didn’t matter because the hotel have an incredible leisure centre that we enjoyed. The pool was clean and warm and the staff were extremely accommodating. It was safe for our fur babies and they had lots of room to roam around our ground floor apartment. The view was just splendid and there are the loveliest little shops down Main Street. The hotel provided entertainment in the evenings which was so much fun and really enhanced our stay. A perfect base for a deeply relaxing family staycation in beautiful west Cork.
