Great Stay
Great hotel, everything was very well done, including the “hotel art”. The food was very good and always generous portions. The staff was always friendly and very helpful. The rooms were spacious, and had bathtubs (yay). Planning to visit again ASAP. Oh, and hanging out in CastleTownBere was great; low-key and so pretty. Nice walks along the bay. Don’t miss Taste; a small but very effective organic foods shop, best coffee, good sandwiches- perfect for picnic

Staff very nice and pleasant but seemed but under pressure with a full house that night. Had to ask twice for coffee at breakfast, three times to settle my bill etc. Very little noise insulation between rooms. Could hear multiple conversations in nearby rooms and music playing all night.

Good evening Thank you for your review, We apologise that everything was not up to the standard we would like and for that we apologise but because you have chosen to remain anonymous we have no way of even checking back through bookings when you stayed so it will do us no good at all in improving matters. But if you would like to assist us in improving things please contact the hotels main email as Expedia don't like that kind of thing such as direct communication we are unable to put the email address here. Best wishes Mark & Team

Loved this hotel. Lovely location overlooking the harbour just a few minutes walk into town. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the food is great, especially the breakfast. The room was clean with a really comfortable bed. Mark, the owner/ manager is a great guy. We'll be back for sure.

A wonderfully refurbished hotel with a welcoming staff and great location. The comfort of the bed was 200%. We had a very pleasant stay there. The dinner we had was 10 out of 10, beautifully prepared seafood and the service impressive. The breakfast menu looked out of this world with a wide range of options, but found the omelette was very heavy and the French toast were overly syrupy. Would definitely recommend this place and will return here in the future.

Disappointing
Not a great hotel. Our bedroom was pretty soulless. Too expensive for what it was, I thought breakfast was included in my rate but the hotel/Expedia did not make it clear that it wasn’t included and they tried to charge us €30 for our breakfast. So that would have been a rate of €185 for one night. Bad value. We went in to the village to the Tea Room for breakfast instead, was brilliant quality food at half the price!

Delightful stay in lovely location
The hotel was set in a beautiful location in the lovely and quirky town of Castletownbere. The room was a good size and we were offered a plentiful breakfast the next morning. There is a bar in the hotel and also a number of restaurants and bars in the local town, which was a few minutes' walk away.

The place is very upscale for such a small town and has very nice amenities. Our only complaint was the very fancy bathroom sink is such a poor design that it splashed water on you while using it. Otherwise no complaints and very happy that we chose to stay here.

Nice hotel with great shower and water pressure.
Friendly staff and great views of the harbour and fishing trawlers. Nice room with great water pressure in the shower - need to be careful as the water will spill onto the floor. We found the room very warm and quite noisy due to humming of machinery (maybe an air con unit?). We didn't eat in the hotel, so can't comment on breakfast or food.

Stayed at this hotel some 12 years ago, when it was fairly average. It subsequently closed but reopened recently. What a transformation! Very comfortable room and bed. Well stocked bar and good food. Would heartily recommend!!

It's a great place at the right price. The room was large and had an amazing balcony. The bathroom was easily twice the size of some other places we stayed. Friendly staff and great food. We will be sure to book here again.

Poor quality and over-priced!
We were very disappointed with our stay at the Beara hotel and felt that we paid far too much for the quality of the accommodation. €360 without breakfast or working wifi in our room and a view of the back of the hotel flat roof was excessive. We would not return. Also, a guest in an ajacent room was had their dog staying overnight! When we reported it the staff informed us that they were aware of it, I was shocked and womdered at the hygiene standard of the room we were staying in if this was a common practice of the hotel. Also the bulbs weren't working in three lights in our room.

Overall good choice
This was generally a very good place to stay - pleasant staff, very large and bright room with large modern bathroom and probably the most comfortable bed I've slept on in a hotel in recent memory. Would have rated 5/5 if not for the smoking area location - people smoking and talking loudly just below the guest room windows at the back, until almost 2am. Disrupted sleep even with the window shut. Had to go down to the pub to speak to the barman, who apologized and offered to go out and quiet them down.

lovely setting, ok hotel...
Beautiful setting, overlooks fishing boats on a cove. No AC and no screens on the windows (pretty standard for all of our trip). Loud guests in the hallway during the night. Lively bar downstairs. Loved the picnic tables in the front lawn area. Short walk to town for meals. Murphys was delicious!

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Staff & service
Extremely disappointed.
My wife and I were looking forward to a romantic night away, we'd booked the room months in advance and we had driven over a hundred miles of our 150 mile journey to get there when the hotel rang us to say that they'd given our room to someone else!!! However they were willing to pay for a B&B for us... Needless to say we turned around and made the trip back home again. This is a terrible way to treat customers, and I would definitely not risk making another booking at this hotel.

Super Hotel en personeel.
Onze aankomst leek een thuiskomst. We werden , alsof we er al jaren kwamen, Hartelijk begroet door Mark, de eigenaar. Hij deed die zondag zelf de receptie en ontvangst. We hadden een ruime en schone kamer met balkon, uitkijkend op de haven. We hebben de hele week in het hotel gegeten, zowel het heerlijke Irish Breakfast, als ook het diner. De kaart voor ontbijt en diner is precies goed, niet te veel en niet overdadig, waarbij de maaltijden, bereid door superchef Kok Mark2, van uitstekende kwaliteit zijn. Het overige Hotel personeel is netjes, goed opgeleid en iedereen weet zijn taak. Je kunt eten in het restaurant of de pub. De kamers worden iedere dag schoon gemaakt, netjes opgeruimd en aangevuld met wat aangevuld moet worden. Iedere dag schone handdoeken, koffie, thee en flessen water, zowel still water als sprankling water. Voor zowel directie, receptie en al het andere personeel is het geen moeite teveel om de gasten het naar het zin te maken. We hadden daarbij ook nog eens prachtig weer de hele week. Dit is iets waar je morgen onmiddellijk weer naar terug wilt. Voor ons een onvergetelijke week in het Beara Coast Hotel in Castletownberehaven, Ierland.
