Independent hotels in Barnagowlane, County Cork

"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! "

"Lovely hotel right in the middle of Bantry, staff is always forthcoming and very helpful and friendly. Rooms are clean, the view over the harbour just beautiful. Definitely recommend, coming back here again as always - my top hotel when I visit Bantry."

"The bed was comfortable. The noice from the street and bar is no more than noises in any other hotel. All good! Breakfast is a nice way to start the day. It begins at 8:30 which turned out to be just fine. We had time to do all that we wanted to do."
