Clonakilty Hotel Guide - West Cork Surf School hotels in Clonakilty, Ireland.

"The drive to and from the cottage is absolutely gorgeous. Driving through narrow country roads with miles of stone walls covered in wild flowers, grass, and moss is an experience all in itself. The cottage was immaculately maintained, spacious, and stocked with activities for the whole family, teens included. Picturesque views from every window and walls decorated by art from local artists and the collection of books by Irish authors to enjoy during our stay added to the experience. Reading Claire Keegan while overlooking the pastures and coast line was bliss, especially when accompanied by the homemade shortbread cookies complements of our hosts, Deidre and John. Did we mention the complementary fresh soda bread, milk, and sample of the local Five Farms Irish Cream Liqueur? Delicious. We were even able to pick up a bottle at the airport on our way home. Another highlight of our stay at the cottage and in Ireland were the cows feeding in the pastures just outside the cottage. Loved the cows. Our walk to the cliffs with John and Deidreʻs dogs added to the experience. The surrounding communities were friendly and generous with their patience as we navigated the roads, numerous grocery stores, and local attractions. There are a lot of local shopping and activities within short driving distance of the cottage. Our only regret is not staying longer. Thank you for the amazing experience!"

"Amazing service, lovely clean rooms and well kept. Had a fab time and will be back! "

"Kind of old and tired property. Great location. Very noisy"

"It was a clean place but some aspects were frustrating. It’s essentially a B&B , but with no breakfast. There was no clear reception area so it was rough to figure it out with wind and rain. There was no ac and the blankets they provided were enough to get through an ice storm. I was hot and uncomfortable all night long. It was clean and a great location , but definitely not worth the price. You’re better off at a real hotel"

"Staff was very friendly and welcoming. They were accommodating to any requests. Room could have been cleaner but very spacious and exactly what we needed. Beautiful location. Food at restaurant was good. "

"Beautiful beach side small resort. Staff were very lovely and the morning breakfast was delicious. Offers a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle. Wish we could have stayed longer. "

"Orla on reception was lovely and made check in easy. Room was lovely with a view over the harbour. Breakfast was great cooked to order with good choices."

"Excellent all round- really could not fault "

"Clean rooms, comfortable beds great breakfast. Walkable to all over downtown Kinsale and trails to views of Forts. Construction currently going on that’s a bit loud early morning and throughout the day. Doors closing are loud. Views of the bay very pretty. Overall the stay was okay. "
