1. Romantic Castle at Roaring Water Bay in West Cork - Weekend special available

Skibbereen

"Living even for a short time in a castle is a unique experience. It is just rustic enough to get a feel for castle life and just modern enough to make it comfortable. The grounds are lush and the area is quiet. Otters were on the rocks down by the water at the bottom of the stairs at waters edge. The top floor has an amazing view with lots of glass and a sheltered patio. We had some concerns, but Stephanie was quick to respond. My only criticism would be the bed on middle floor was...

Top County Cork Hotel Reviews

The River Lee Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room 333 was very comfortable with 2 double beds a bath and separate shower. The room had water, a coffee machine and tea making facilities. The staff were all very nice and helpful. It’s in a good location close to the town centre."

The Dean Cork

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this place! Such a cool vibe - great lobby, with a resident bar that stays open late, awesome gym, pool/steam room/sauna, helpful and friendly staff. Offers late check out (for fee) and luggage hold. In a very walkable area. You have to key in and key out of the floors outside the lift, so there’s an added layer of security for the rooms. I Loved the mini fridge and water boiler in the room - it made it easy to keep leftovers, make tea, etc in room. They have a filtered water station in the lobby for refill needs. it is next to the train station, but the trains stop running at night, and I used noise cancelling headphones."

Premier Inn Cork City Centre

8/10 Good

"The room was nice and it was really quiet. The staff were nice. I think they could allow guests to exit at all the stairs for more convenience as there is only one way to go out without setting off the alarm. For someone who is claustrophobic i prefer the stairs, they were just confusing to find the only stairwell that went to the lobby. Over all our stay was nice though."

Maldron Hotel Shandon Cork

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were very accommodating with all of our needs, friendly and approachable. The room was exactly what we needed for 3 people and the cleaners kept on top of it for us. Variety of choices for breakfast, actually spoilt for choice and certainly filled us for the day! Location was spot on. Would definitely stay here again"

Commodore Hotel

8/10 Good

"I had a very pleasant short break and found my room (double for single occupancy) comfortable. Furnishings were dated but functional. Good shower plenty of hot water. Having a first floor room meant heavy footsteps and creaky floorboards above had to be endured. Due to hot weather my windows were open at night. Seagulls and traffic don’t bother me however early morning ladder rattling for window cleaning was unnecessary and disregarding of their guests. Despite that beautiful harbour views and good breakfast (soda bread especially) made up for the few niggles."
