Booked in for 3 nights over Christmas 2011. Arrived and was shown to our room immediately by a helpful staff member. The room was clean, spacious and had a old cosy Irish home feel to it. Except it wasnt as cosy as it was freezing, we put our bags down turned on the heating and headed out for the evening.... More

We stayed in this hotel in Youghal last week-end. It was our first time in Youghal and both the hotel and the surrounding area impressed us. When we arrived the hotel staff were up to their eyes with 160 Confirmation day lunches. We were still greeted with real friendliness. This friendliness and willingness to please continued over the week-end, from... More

An absolute find in the middle of Youghal town. Gorgeous old wooden panelled bar - very cosy with a lovely open fire. The food was absolutely five star quality and very reasonably priced - try the curried Monkfish and don't skip desert because they are wonderful too. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. Rooms are well presented with everything... More
