Tokenistic covid care.

It's actually a lovely hotel, but their covid duty of care was extremely sloppy, merely tokenistic at best. We actually had to ask one of the owners to wear their mask while serving guests. But the worst was one of their staff was coughing and spluttering around the breakfast room without a mask. Avoid, avoid, avoid!!!!

Absolutely gorgeous hotel, the staff were excellent! Everything was so clean, freshly renovated and done with such good taste. A lovely blonde lady that showed us to our room looked after us so well, there was really no more she could have done The barman Brian was brilliant as well, we had the television in front of the bar and I never had to even ask for a drink even though they were so so busy

Such a quaint little hotel, with a friendly staff and clean, updated amenities! The receptionist went out of her way to give my wife and I local suggestions for food and sites to see. At night we enjoyed traditional Irish music in the hotel's very cool pub!

What a classic property. Right by the Blarney Castle. Staff was excellent. Old world pub and restaurant with excellent local music on Tuesday evening.(Just happened to be the day we checked in). Shower was a little snug due to a grab bar in a really bad spot. Hard to stand in shower and not be leaning on bar and touching curtain on other side. Other than that, the best area in Ireland.

Let me start off with the good of this property. It was in a great location to go to the Blarney Castle and they let us leave the rental car there while we visited the castle. The food was great. However, the room was not clean and the heat did not work. Specifically, there was a lot mold on the shower walls and I had to try to wash off the mold from the shower curtain in the tub before trying to use it. We asked to move rooms but were denied. They did bring in a space heater to the room which made the no heat a little better but we did not want to run the space heater all night while we were sleeping. While traveling in Ireland we stayed at several hotels and all were in the same price of each other, so I can say for the same price you can find MUCH better.
