Staff were SO helpful. They made us toasties and chips even though the restaurant was closed and left us to the start of our walking route.

Facelift needed in all areas
Room was old fashioned & freezing ( no knobs on rad to adjust). Kettle dirty inside. Pillows was like pancakes & very thin duvets. Stairs to room was filthy. Hot Breakfast was tasty but no choice other than full Irish.

Staff seemed disinterested in the place. Rooms were double booked. Dinner service in restaurant and pub was terrible. Room’s bathroom was filthy. Mold on bottom of cheap shower curtain, inexcusable. Confusing entrance. Carpet going up stairs was disgusting. Absolute joke they charged $165 Euros for this dump.

The property is about 3mls from any restaurant and the road back to Bantry is unlit and not pedestrian paved in places. Local taxi unable to collect for 2hrs and the local restaurants apparently don’t offer deliveries. Staff unhelpful and more interested in drinking with the ‘locals’ Room clean but dated. Communal areas ‘worn’. Probably not seen at its best but ‘cheap overnight accommodation’

We booked our “sea view” rooms three months in advance, while upon arrival the staff was surprised saying “you have one room”. After we demonstrated our receipt, wow, what a surprise - “we cannot find the key deem the second room”… we got the noisiest room, looking at the crossroad. In the morning, during check out two ladies and their assistant were not able to make the credit card machine functioning during 40 minutes

Check in at 6pm was difficult and despite 2 emails to the Ouvane, we received no reply and had to take a chance on being able to arrive earlier; when I raised this on arrival the reply was a grunt. The room was very cold and no one came back on my request for some heat. Zero privacy was provided by the huge windows facing the car park and the main road without even net curtains. Breakfast was served on the basis of ‘do you want food?’ there was no menu, vegan or vegetarian options (let alone gluten/ dairy free) and continental breakfast was cornflakes (no sign of a croissant or scone). The style of service at breakfast with bowls of minimal choice of edibles half covered with cling film and no milk on the tables left a lot to be desired and as for the warm hospitality and welcome Ireland is famous for; it simply wasn’t there, rather their model was based on Fawlty Towers. For €180 for one night it was very overpriced.

The staff were lovely. There is a hotel shuttle into town which is convenient as the town is close but not walking distance. I did not like the 6pm check in but knew that in advance. The grounds are lovely with a gurgling stream feeding into a lake. It’s very picturesque and worth a late check in.

One night too much.
If you are looking for a nice warm welcome A clean room, and clean premises in general. Then this is not the place for you. Cigarette butts strewn around entrance door are a giveaway as to what its like inside. A Kip. Wont be back.

A nice relaxing stay
I stayed as I was on business in the area. It was a really relaxing stay. The food was lovely and the atmosphere at the bar was great. The staff were more than helpful. I will definitely stay again.

Very friendly lady checked us in, stairs to rooms filthy, adequate room, bathroom was not clean, mould around bath, had to ask for cups etc for room. We had a balcony room, very dirty, lots of cigarette butts. Breakfast adequate, had to take sugar, milk from other table. Beautiful site, could be a lovely place, certainly not a €120 room, more €60 to €80

St Brigid's Day break.
Ovane Falls was in a lovely waterside location. The room was clean, warm and comfortable. The food was tasty. Having the bar and restaurant on site was very convenient. We were very well looked after from start to finish. We will come back soon!

Great view, great hospitality, AMAZING breakfast
This place is perfect for a stop-over! great location right off the road and with an amazing view. The hospitality was amazing; we arrived later than hoped, but they whipped us up a fantastic dinner despite kitchen closing soon. Then, somehow, we were lucky enough to be here during a weekly step/trad dancing party and had a blast watching! Then our hostess made us THE BEST BREAKFAST! Definitely recommend.

Amazing location
On arrival we thought it was shut, it opened at 5pm On entering through the main entrance to the upstairs rooms we were greeted with a filthy carpet and sticky hand rail In the room it was dated, stains on the carpet towels and bed runner The bathroom had tiles hanging off and Mouldy grout around the bath The only reason we stayed was we had travel 6 hours and the welcome we got from Emily who couldn’t do enough for us. Evening meal and breakfast amazing and nothing was to much trouble even down to finding a hairdryer ! The view was amazing and it could be an amazing place if it had a but of tlc

Trish, who welcomed us was very friendly and accommodating. The evening entertainment was good fun. The food was ok. Unfortunately the rooms and bathrooms didn’t live up to the price and the main road made it very noisy. Nice view though.
