Beautiful old hotel currently under going renovations under new ownership. The hotel has a large free car park at rear. Our room overlooked a nice public park with the sea beyond.... More

On a recent visit to Youghal, we stopped off at the Walter Raleigh Hotel for lunch. We were reliably informed the hotel was under new management and under going an overdue face lift. The setting is beautiful overlooking the sea and there is also a very nice park directly across the road. As the weather was quite cold, we enjoyed... More

Newly renovated hotel in a great spot right on the sea front. Bedroom and bathroom newly decorated, clean and comfortable. Staff were helpful and friendly, we arrived late and they kept the kitchen open so we could get some dinner, which was great, good quality and value. My colleague asked if they had any bananas for breakfast and they sent... More

Stayed for 2 nights B&B last weekend with a voucher. Downstairs in the hotel has been nicely renovated but unfortunately our room was a disappointment.
