Independent hotels in Doneraile, County Cork

"The rooms were clean and spacious, the staff were outstanding, friendly, respectful and helpful. "

"The atmosphere with all the Christmas decorations and the lit trees outside the hotel. My daughter and I enjoyed the cleanliness of the rooms, the warm comfy beds (like sleeping in a cloud), daily water and biscuits in the room, the shopping, and the incredible breakfasts. Lastly, we loved the quiet location and the surrounding town. Thank you to all the welcoming staff for making our stay so memorable. "

"Great place to stay. Our host Margaret was extremely friendly and helpful "

"All great "

"Great stay and location"

"Gillian's apartment was the perfect base for us exploring Cork County, the beautiful Copper Coast and the magnificent Rock of Cashel. Parking is ample and safe, and the apartment was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with EVERYTHING we needed to make our stay comfortable. The kitchen has all you need to make meals (we made our breakfast everyday before hitting the road, and a.couple of dinners too). Thank you Gillian for hosting us. We would definitely return when visiting Cork County again."

"I would recommend this place to anyone who goes to Cork. Spacious and quiet. We went with our 15 and 9 years old boys and they didn’t get bored as they had their own beds and plenty of plugs to charge their devices. There’s a telly as well where you can login to your favourite streaming services. Internet is super fast, as you can imagine, that’s another reason why kids were not bored. LOL. The communal kitchen is spacious so if you run into another guest, you won’t have that “awkward moment” where you don’t know where to look at to avoid eye contact. Clean towels, bedding, toilet and kitchen. Minor criticism is that as we were leaving the place, we checked behind the couches just to make sure we were not forgetting anything, we found some rubbish that wasn’t ours and it was old meaning that, that rubbish it’s been there for quite some time so that needs a bit of attention by management and cleaning staff. Don’t worry, you won’t need to bring you “forensic’s equipment” to check the room out! Just something I thought to mention because however small, it is important. If you don’t say anything, it cannot be fixed. The staff was super helpful, one of the nights, I had the keys whilst my husband and kids wanted to go back to the place so they couldn’t get in. My husband contacted the emergency phone number they provided and within FIVE minutes, the manager turned up with a spare set of keys! Over all, super recommend."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The accommodations were great and the bread, scones, etc. were such a nice touch! Marisa was so great and responded very quickly to any questions. The house was perfect for our group. Would highly recommend!"

"This is a gem of a find. Beautifully fitted out and managed with exceptional care. The facilities in the room and common parts are simply great and nothing was too much trouble. Mitchelstown has much to offer but Birdies is above and beyond."
