Passing The Garryvoe Hotel en route to the Ballymaloe Litfest recently it certainly impressed with its bright, clean frontage overlooking the sea. As we had reason to return to the area since, we decided to detour and try it for lunch. Friendly Reception staff directed us to The Lighthouse Bar where we indulged our passion for seafood by ordering 2... More

I stay here quite a bit, mainly midweek whilst working. What a hotel, beautiful sunrise in the morning, freshly cooked breakfast, lovely spacious rooms, excellent leisure facilities and friendly staff! The only bad point, the atmosphere in the bar can be dull at times. The bar food is good, portion sizes could be slightly bigger on some options but don't... More

I stayed here with a friend for 2 nights recently, we were on a photography trip. The room was very spacious and clean, however, the bed was very uncomfortable and not what I would expect from a 4star hotel. Also, the room was too far to walk to, and we were not able to lock the patio doors leading onto... More

Dear Catonafazer Many thanks for your review, I am delighted you found certain aspects of your stay enjoyable, however I am disapointed that you found other aspects disapointing. Our hotel has grown from a small 17 bedroom hotel over the last 13 years to what we have today and in doing so we have at all times endeavour to maintain... More

Great service, nice and clean, leisure centre is fabulous and the breakfast was good. There is literally nothing around for miles though other than the beach. Perfect for business as I was just there for a night and they looked after me brilliantly.

We booked this hotel online as the final leg of a Cork trip to a wedding - it was the Sunday of the May bank holiday weekend and we looked forward to an enjoyable dinner for my birthday on the following day before we returned home. We had mentioned the birthday when booking. When we arrived we asked about dinner... More

My wife and I stayed here for two nights(midweek), with breakfast. It was a true pleasure. The check in was simple and prompt with staff being pleasant and efficient, our room was very clean, quiet and the view from the balcony we had was absolutely mesmerising (see the photo attached). The Spa facilities were really truly relaxing I believe by... More

I spent the last weekend in April in this hotel with a large family group. I cannot praise this hotel highly enough. The staff were absolutely brilliant. Each member was friendly, most helpful and endeavoured to make our stay as good as possible. We had dinner in the Lighthouse Bar on the evening of our arrival and we all thoroughly... More

We visited the Garryvoe Hotel at the start of April - I had booked it with a Living Social offer I had purchased. We were celebrating my husband's birthday/our anniversary. As most people are these days, we are always looking for budget friendly options. This seemed to be one! The hotel location looked fab and that's what sold it for... More

We got married here a year ago and had a great wedding day. The staff, service, food and decor are superb. We received numerous compliments about the food served on the day. The banquet hall looks great - it was one of the main reasons we decided to have our wedding here. The staff really put us at ease from... More

We had our wedding reception here last April. Everything went so smoothly and it was definitely down to the hard work and attention to detail by their staff. Nearly a year later I'm still receiving compliments on the food and how nice the function room was.
