This is an old style B+B, probably living a little in the past, which need not be a put off. The food is what I would call 1960s Ireland, nothing wrong, but I can't remember what I had, which is in itself comment enough. Now I noticed below a comment on the smell, that I can remember, it is 1960's... More

We took advantage of a special offer for 2 nights B&B and 1 dinner and were not disappointed.having stayed at The Heron's Cove about 5 years ago we were delighted to see that it had remained the same-basic but roomy and comfortable bedroom with beautiful view of the Cove directly in front of the bedroomof the balcony.

I recently stayed in the Herons Cove for a two night stay, it is such a beautiful setting there, with plenty to do locally and to visit, the Mizen bridge, Crookhaven, the beach and so many areas to walk in. We ate in the restaurant on the Friday night and found the food to be to an excellent standard, there... More

While the main attraction of the Heron's Cove is the excellent restaurant, the rooms are very pleasant and with a view of the Cove which changes with the tide and the light.

Heron's Cove has just six bedrooms and overlooks a very peaceful tidal harbour where, surprise, surprise herons can be seen fishing.

Even a fussy 8 yeal... More

We first visited The Herons Cove nearly 20 years ago and had long looked forward to a revisit which we did a couple of weeks ago for two nights. We were not disappointed and for the first time we stayed over. The room was very comfortable, well equipped and with a view to beat most hotels and spotless. We were... More

I dined in Heron Cove restaurant on Friday 12th Aug 2011. I was part of a group of 8 people in total and we arrived promptly for our 7pm reservation. The level of service received was, to be blunt, pretty appalling. Certainly the worst service experience during a week of dining out in West Cork. We were promptly shown to... More

Our room was just the right size for the two of us, the bed was very comfy,and the cove view was spectacular. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the heron fishing for his breakfast. We had a wonderful fresh dinner with locally sourced food. Breakfast was excellent as well. More
