"I recently stayed at the Glengarriff Park Hotel and was genuinely impressed by every aspect of this charming, family-run establishment. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that this hotel prides itself on offering not just comfort, but a heartfelt experience. Nestled right in the heart of Glengarriff, the hotel is perfectly situated within walking distance of all the local attractions. Whether you’re heading to the stunning Blue Pool, exploring the Bamboo Park, or catching the ferry to Garnish Island. Everything is just a short stroll away, making it an ideal base for discovering the beauty of West Cork. The in-house restaurant and bar are a real highlight. The food was consistently excellent, with a menu that balances hearty Irish classics and more refined options. The bar has a warm, welcoming vibe, perfect for winding down after a day of exploring. What truly sets this hotel apart is the staff. Their kindness and dedication are second to none. When I asked about shoe polishing available, they discovered it wasn’t available locally and then drove to the next town to get it for me. That level of care and attention is rare and speaks volumes about their commitment to guest satisfaction. If you’re looking for a place that combines comfort, convenience, and genuine Irish hospitality, the Glengarriff Park Hotel is a standout choice. I’ll absolutely be returning and recommending it to anyone heading to this magical corner of Ireland. "

"We stayed here for one night for a family meeting, and everything was fantastic from start to finish. The location is ideal—just a short walk from Glengarriff town—but still peaceful and scenic. The staff were welcoming and helpful throughout our stay, and the service was excellent. Rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable—perfect for relaxing after a long day. Dinner at the hotel restaurant was a highlight: delicious food, generous portions, and great local ingredients. Breakfast the next morning was just as good, with plenty of choice for all ages. Would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a convenient, warm, and high-quality place to stay near Glengarriff. We’ll be back! "

"ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC STAY!!!!Damien and Niamh were extremely friendly and helpful from the beginning of the booking till the end of our stay. They sent us a digital check-in guide with a ton of information. Many stays with rental homes and we have never seen attention to detail like this!Upon arrival, we were given a very large welcome basket, showed the property and told to call or write if anything should be needed.This property is large and can completely handle the 10 person occupancy as advertised. The rooms are all very spacious and appointed appropriately.We asked to have a BBQ in the middle of the week for about 15 adults and 5 kids and the owners were very gracious and said that it would not be a problem. There was plenty of kitchen gear to handle this and more!! We used the pizza oven twice as the kids had so much fun building their pizzas! The pizza oven is quite large for a personal residence and we could bake 2 pizzas at a time. They have an abundance of firewood already stocked to use for the fireplaces (2), pizza oven and firepit.The weather was gorgeous for us and so we spent almost all of our time outdoor with the patio furniture or at the firepit, we only had 2 nights that were windy with a little rain. The best part of the house is that it is extremely quiet up on the hill but if you want to go hang out at the pub it is only about a 100m walk. The Tin Pub is so close and Arundels is just around the corner. "
