Top 5 Guest house in County Cork

Muckross, Dunmore, Clonakilty, Co. Cork, Ireland

“We've chosen Dunmore House as our wedding venue for good reason - a beautiful setting, right by the Atlantic Ocean with the most incredible views. The food is on the Michelin guide and crafted with expert attention to detail and flavour. The restaurant itself is one of the most beautiful I've come across, charming and understated. The staff are exceptional - friendly and caring in abundance. The rooms are clean and well kept, but could use some slight modern touches, mini fridge being one, but otherwise extremely good. Cannot wait to get married here.”

Ballymaloe More, Shanagarry, Co. Cork, P25 Y070, Ireland

“A wonderful country hotel. Fabulous service and a great dining experience. Wish we had scheduled to stay longer. The grounds are extensive and a pleasure to walk off some of the excess calories gained from the dining room. Dinner was one of the highlights of our visit to Ireland. Take the time and plan on staying at least 2-3 nights to thoroughly enjoy your stay.”

Harbour, Reenmeen West, Glengarriff, Co. Cork, P75 A072, Ireland

“We attended the NYE Ball. From the moment we arrived to our check out, everything was absolutely 10/10. The staff were so friendly and very helpful with everything. We had a bay view room which overlooked the water. The bed was big and comfortable with a big walk in rain shower. We didn't use the spa as we forgot our togs but we will 100% be back again to try it out. The food was delicious. The staff were efficient and as a guest you could observe that everyone was enjoying working and I felt personally that anything I asked of the staff was not an inconvenience to them. One thing to note too is that every single member of staff were so engaging with eye contact and a friendly smile. We can't wait to come back!!”

Blairscove, Murreagh, Durrus, Co. Cork, P75 FE44, Ireland

Kinsale Road Industrial Estate, Kinsale Road Roundabout Frankfield Road, Kinsale Rd, Cork, Ireland

“I have stayed in many hotel rooms in many parts of the underdeveloped and developed world; given the country, cost and organisation, I can say this is the worst. You are blessed being near the airport, otherwise….”

Victoria Cross Rd, Cork, Ireland

“DO NOT STAY HERE SUMMER 2023. They are renovating the apartments and begin work at 6am, every single day. Jackhammers, skips, the whole lot. It's criminal that they are allowed to charge for these places during this time. There is zero airflow in the rooms, so you have to sleep with the window open - which makes the sounds even worse. If I wasn't here for work and had to stay, I would have been out of here after the first night. Awful, awful place.”
