Blarney Woollen Mills Hotel, BW Signature Collection

Blarney Woollen Mills Hotel, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good
"Ridiculously hot in the room. Two electric fans were left in the room (to blow hot air around?)but the old style windows barely open and little breeze (on a reasonably breezy day) could get in to cool the room. The breakfast was good though and parking was plentiful. Didnt use the amenities."

Isaacs Hotel Cork City

10/10 Excellent
"A fantastic boutique hotel situated right in the middle of a thriving community of bars, restaurants, and coffee shops. Bedroom was at front of hotel but we had absolutely no bother from noise due to extra double-glazing. Hotel is perfectly situated to explore the beautiful city of Cork. Hotel staff very pleasant and helpful."

Hayfield Manor

Hayfield Manor

10/10 Excellent
"One of the best hotel experiences I've ever had (and I do stay at 5-star places regularly). Spacious and clean room with great lighting and chairs and windows that open, and hooks, and big bottles of filtered water. Great food. The warmest, most welcoming staff ever, with sharp competent energy all of them, who never looked like they didn't want me to approach but instead were relaxed and made eye contact readily and seemed genuinely pleased to see me. I said once "I want to live here" and she said "we would love to have you" -- untrue I'm sure but SO KIND! Lovely garden, and many places to sit and relax and read and have tea. I genuinely cannot gush enough. Liam helped me hire a driver for a wonderful day out -- he is a treasure. THANK YOU HAYFIELD MANOR. I'll be back someday."

"There are two Maldrons in Cork. I booked the wrong one. Once noticed the front desk staff was so helpful and contacted the other and got us switched seamlessly. I did not have to do any leg work. Both locations were beautiful and in convenient locations."
