"Located just a few minutes walk from Blarney Castle in the cutest little lively town Blarney Woollen Mills Hotel was great! Breakfast was Amazing and offered portions that are insane and the main attraction aside from the castle was the authentic wool items you can buy and ship right from the hotel grounds. The attached restaurant and bar also had tons to offer! And can I say the water pressure and temperature were great!"

"Had booked an early check in and the lady on reception said she will call us when the room was ready but unfortunately never. However the room was ready at just after 2pm so we were ok with this. They tried to charge us 20 euros for this early check in so we did have to advise we didn't get it. They took it off straight away. There was a Travel cot outside the room when we arrived but the room was clean."
