Top 30 Best Hotel & Motel & Hostel in Cork

“I’ve been attending healing and counselling sessions with Lorna Jean for the last 5 years and I can’t thank her enough for everything she’s taught me and how she’s helped me grow and heal. She is the most beautiful soul and I’m so grateful to have her support and guidance.”

“Very dog friendly. Fantastic views. Mike and Julia were excellent hosts and made us very welcome including the dog. Access to kitchen at all times to make a coffee or tea was a bonus especially the jar of homemade flapjacks. Would definitely recommend”

“Stunning views and friendly service. Menu to cater for all tastes. Lovely spot”

“Ard na Sidhe near Killorglin Ireland is a most beautiful place, a hidden gem, semi-secret. We highly recommend it and will certainly come back again. The Team are amazing: real professionals and so nice people like Sandra, Mary and Debbie make your feel as if you were staying in their own home. Hannah in the lounge was very kind to us also on our first evening. David chef de cuisine prepared beautiful dishes at dinner, local Irish and European. The breakfasts are a delight. The gardens are so beautiful, swimming in the lake was a treat and refreshing. The wild dear that cam to the garden...We miss the place. Top class and thank you to the Team there for a super holiday.”

“Absolutely perfect place to start our Ring of Kerry tour. Great Inn in a small town. The evening bartender (Tom?)/ host/ reception/ waiter made us feel perfectly welcomed, despite a full pub. Watched a football match with a pizza and pint. The room was great, and breakfast the next morning was divine.”

“I celebrated mother's day with three generations of my family. The service was excellent with attention to detail and customer focused. The food was excellent and very tasty. The surroundings were beautiful. Every one had a memorable and enjoyable experience.”

“Still the best hidden gem of a restaurant in all of kerry.”

“My best friend and I were looking forward to staying here more than the rest of our stays while in Ireland. It did not disappoint! From the staff to the accommodations everything was AMAZING! David, the hotel Manager was incredible! He gave us tons of details on where to go and when. Lots of information on the Ring of Kerry. Dean was a patient and attentive bartender in the cellar bar! The decor and onsite food is lovely! Highly recommend.”

“We stayed here for 2 nights as we were starting the Béara Way trek from Glengarrif. Imelda was such a warm and welcoming host. The B&B is spotless, breakfast was delicious - the best we have had in any B&B in Ireland! Rooms clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend this as a place to stay. Really close to village and beside Eccles hotel. Caters for vegans!!!! Imelda also let us leave our car free of charge for the week while we went hiking.”

“This is the epitome of Irish hospitality in a beautifully natural environment where you can get all the seasons in one day. Stunning view and great hiking routes. The staff in the hotel are incredible, so welcoming and work so hard to make your stay is so memorable. The food is exceptional and signs by with the amount of people who travel specifically to enjoy their culinary delights. A wonderful place to relax and unwind, highly recommended.”

“Lovely and quiet place to stay,very simple rooms but that's what we needed,checked eceryday,lovely lady Mary was having chat with all guests when serving the breakfast,very friendly and polite,food lovely as well”

“I have just had the best afternoon tea , what a beautiful setting and surroundings the food was delicious, the staff were so friendly and helpful. everything was perfect, thank you so much, I highly recommend Fernhill House for afternoon tea, we will be back.”

“We've been leaving our "furry babies" as my wife calls them with Yvonne for years. Our last dog, Chewie, and her sister Alfie were, shall we say, high dependency. Not a bother for Happy Paws. Our current bundle of furry joy, Bettie, loves it there too. We've also taken advice from Yvonne about trainers and groomers, all excellent, and we buy our dog food off her. Overall, couldn't recommend highly enough.”

“Giving 5stars here due to the location, views and facilities, Service is slow in restaurant, I must clarify- its not due to lack of staff or them not been present just a long lead to ordering and receiving food, could of been the fact a large wedding was been catered for? Otherwise this hotel is a gem, the facilities loads to do, the views amazing all staff we engaged with were excellent and very chatty at dinner and breakfast. Would 100% book again, just maybe dine out next time :/ Photos are 1 from the walk on hotel grounds and 2nd from room balcony in morning (red sky).”

“Gorgeous stay. Lovely rooms. Staff are just so lovely and friendly. Food in the Brasserie was great. Service and food at breakfast was amazing. Spa treatment was unreal - stunning facial!! Would definitely recommend and will return!”

“All I can say is WOW! From the property grounds to the excellent staff, this castle hotel exceeded expectations. The rooms were spacious and charming, and the common areas luxurious and beautiful. We had breakfast at the castle for two mornings, and the food was delicious. There we met Esther and Doreen who not only provided us with wonderful service, but they helped us find local activities and unique things to explore. Behind the bar at night we met Eddie who was excellent to talk to! We can’t wait to return!”

“The hotel was great, but the breakfast was absolutely fabulous!! I’ve never stayed in a hotel with such amazing COMPLIMENTARY breakfast. Well done!!”

“Just returned from a wonderful weekend at The Lake Hotel, Killarney. Stunning views. Beautiful hotel and rooms. Staff were fantastic and food was exceptional, even my vegetarian meal was one of a kind. Can't wait to go back again. Thank you!”

“Stopped here for lunch. Even though we didn't have a booking they looked after us. Food was delicious. Views and organic garden were beautiful. Will definitely be back.”

“What a little gem. Our hostess Anne could not do enough for us.Boutiuue hotel with interesting garden and waterfront view from our balcony. Coffee al fresco in the morning. No breakfast but plenty of eateries in Kinsale. Really enjoyed the stay. Rooms are small but very well appointed.”

“Old world charm which I love. We stayed here on April 1st, 2023. Relatively small hotel very close to Cork City centre. Oozez charm. Great bedrooms with fab bathrooms. Loved the garden areas and aviary. Really good pool and spa. Very good restaurant, and the breakfast was one of the best I've had. But finally I have to say that the staff were second to none. I loved when they give you eye contact and immediately pick up on that you want something, and not the other way around. They couldn't do enough for us.... Serious kudos. I hope that I can revisit sometime because Cork City was a great experience.”

“A most fabulous venue, steeped in the history of many centuries but with every convenience to make for an unbeatable venue for our daughters wedding, two families and many friends accommodated in the luxurious castle bedrooms and the extra dormitory and cottage accommodation, great parking facilities, fully stocked kitchen to cater for a crowd and beautiful reception rooms and bar, the good weather meant we could use the terrace as an outdoor entertainment area with the most stunning views. The gardens are prefect for an outdoor ceremony or just a relaxing stroll, many beautiful mature trees and flowers and the coach house complete with mezzanine, kitchen were perfect for housing the wedding dinner.Our host and proprietor Patrick, has a wealth of historical knowledge about his beloved Blackwater Castle and was quietly on hand to help with any practical problems, all in all we could not have asked for a better venue for beauty, privacy and hospitality, I would highly recommend it to anyone, unforgettable place.”

“We rented an apartment in Cork City Centre with Áine for 3 years and we had a great experience. Áine is really professional, responsive and very kind. She is very quick in resolving any issues and in responding to any queries. I couldn't recommend Áine enough!”

“Friendly, comfortable and fabulous breakfast and evening meals. Staff couldn't have been more helpful and hospitable, particularly the magnificent Maura. Loved the spontaneous music gigs in the lobby!! Will be back.”

“Lovely staying house in waterville and sometimes we go over for a drink and what I can tell it's just a lovely place really nice with good food is absolutely to die for amazing just everything about it is just fantastic you know I'm go five stars for everything”

“Impeccable service, beautiful and cozy restaurant and the most important FOOD was unreal. I had calamari and sure it was the best one.”

“Outstanding location with 60 seconds walk to the beach in one of West Cork most beautiful corner. Good facilities, and restaurant. Kudos to Mark for outstanding customer service and help.”

“I can't fault a single thing. The common areas are tastefully decorated, warm and inviting. The staff are professional without being too formal and very friendly/helpful. The room was super clean and incredibly spacious (i've had smaller apartments). The bed and furnishings were top class and comfortable. The bathroom was hyper clean. The jacuzzi bath and rainfall shower were exquisite. This hotel pays attention to all the small details in a way that anyone else I've stayed with recently, does not come close to. The breakfast was so good with a very solid vegan option. The best breakfast I've had in a hotel potentially ever. Exceptional value for money and I can't wait to return.”

“A top notch accommodation, from the time we arrived till the time we departed the staff worked hard to help us enjoy our stay.The restaurant in the hotel is excellent. An all around great experience.”

“My friend and myself walked into the Park and it was like walking into a great big hug.We have just had a three night stay.Our room was beautiful and big with all its little treasures. The staff were amazing nothing was too much trouble and the food was just to die for go on a diet before you go down because you’ll come back half a stone heavier. The spa is one of the best I’ve ever been in and came out feeling wonderful. Can’t wait to get back. Thank you all for making our stay so memorable.”
