Hayfield Manor

FOOD WAS EXCELLENT- STAFF MOSTLY PLEASANT - SUPERB BREAKFAST- THOUGH HAD TO QUEUE

BEDROOM LOOKED OUT ON A ROOF - CERTAINLY NOT WORTH THE PRICE PRICES IN BAR VERY HIGH - COULD HAVE SUPPLIED SOME NUTS OR OLIVES AT THAT PRICE

The entire property is just lovely! From the lobby to the courtyard to our rooms, we enjoyed every aspect. The lobby is full of comfortable couches, has a fire burning, and a pianist in the evenings. Delightful! Our room was very comfortable and spacious, and the bed was perfect as far as comfort and quality of linens. Everything was very clean. Turn-down service was a nice touch, as were the snacks provided in our room at arrival. The bathroom was also very spacious and had fabulous water pressure. Parking was very easy and the concierge was very helpful with recommendations as well. It was so nice to have a comfortable spot to rest after a busy day sightseeing and my family enjoyed both the pool and jacuzzi in the evenings.

We didn't dine at the hotel so we can't comment on that. It was a little far from downtown. Although we could walk (and we did) we also drove a couple of times and finding parking was a bit of a challenge.

The breakfast was fantastic and had a huge honeycomb available for you to try. The facilities were great with a lovely pool, iced lemon water and a great outdoor hot tub. The dinner was exceptional, really delicious and the bartender nailed my sweet Manhattan cocktail perfectly. All the staff were so friendly too - especially Frank!

All the staff were really very friendly, however some of the room service staff were quite noisy in the mornings chatting amongst themselves which was a little disruptive.

The staff are exceptional at this hotel especially JOHN and TonI. Everyone is so friendly and sweet from the doorman to the service staff to the maid who clean and change the room daily. A truly fabulous and wonderful experience and I especially loved the books in the library. The doorman we’re always putting logs on the fire in the evening and there was always a wonderful real fire burning beside two fabulous leather chairs . Fabulous Food, Amazing scones. Beautiful newly refurbished room and shining marble with a rainforest showerhead and handheld wand. They even had Netflix on the TV which surprised me. I was surprised by the local entertainment in Cork as well I actually got tickets to see a concert by Van Morrison and within the week Elton John was actually playing there as well. They have an airport for those that want to fly in from other parts of Europe. The Staircase in the hotel is absolutely spectacular. The whole place is a rare treasure.

The floral arrangements in hotel Were Lilies that smelled like very strong perfume. A minor detail on the overall scheme of things, but one apparently that they got a lot of feedback on the days is I was there.

Lovely setting, beautiful interior, excellent room. Food and bar were great. The staff could not have been nicer. Special praise to the barman John and the waitress Julie, they went out of their way to be helpful, friendly and provided great service. They are an asset to the property.

They could stock the mini bar in the room.

property location is great. lots of stuff is within walking distance. facilities are very good and hotel was immaculate and good controls for covid. rooms were good size and bed was comfortable. Ate in Perrotts in the hotel. food and service was excellent. went to the spa for message. again excellent service and experience. best thing about the hotel was the staff. really top class bunch at front desk and in the bar and restaurant.

I think I was slightly unfortunate as my room was opposite a storage room that had people coming and going a little earlier in the morning than I would have like and that created some noise. But overall hard to pick fault in a very good hotel.

Classic retreat hotel - warm welcome on arrival, attentive staff, great dining options. It is like staying a country manor house but being able to walk into town. Definitely try the formal dining option - the menu was well put together and with a good wine list. The rooms are comfortable with a nice aspect over the gardens and views out to the town.

Nothing to criticise about this hotel.

Dinner in the normal dining room was lovely and staff are efficient although there are a couple of wait staff who don't know the full menu or speak good English. The room was very expensive for what we got as the 3 previous 5 star hotels in the same price bracket got us a much bigger suite and very well furnished. I guess the price is due to it's location to Cork.

The rooms are a little small for the big price tag.

Wonderful experience, absolutely beautiful. Amenities on point - staff, rooms (the beds were so comfortable), food and the hotel. Elegant place to stay in Cork.

Elevator out of service and we were on floor 3 but they carried our luggage. So, not a problem at all. Breakfast was included. Food was excellent.

Beautiful building with lots of variety of restaurants and bars. Very helpful and friendly staff. The rooms are very well appointed and comfortable.

The view from the window was unfortunately obscured by a kitchen extractor pipe but then the building has to function somehow.
