Loved the friendly staff and comfortable surroundings. I loved the library and setting area upstairs. Really nice homely and relaxing touch. The rooms was clean and tidy , bed was comfortable. Tea and coffee in the room is always handy and welcome. Loved how easily accessible everything was from dinner to the little pub out back, breakfast in the morning .really had a lovely stay. Will be back for sure.

I was desperate for a long soak in the bath but the water wouldn't heat up, sink water was hot but bath / shower only luke warm. Also, not the hotel fault but the street was crazy noisy at 6am , bin men and street sweeping etc. Not the hotels fault but something to be aware of if you need a longer sleep. ( ear plugs would have been ideal )

Genial family hotel with a lovely relaxing feel. Service was exceptional in all areas by courteous friendly people. Marie a lady there helped me out more than she realised when I had an unforeseen problem.. Thank you Marie Dog friendly and in the middle of the main street, Clonakilty is a vibrant lovely pretty town..I will definitely return...thank you for a lovely break

Nothing to dislike.. maybe the beer barrels being collected early morning...but that's a necessity, and I went back to sleep 😴

The hotel was bright and cosy. Vntage feel to the place. It was warm, inviting, cosy and and relaxing. I enjoyed sitting on the balcony drinking a cuppas. The xmas lights in the court yard was mice to look at.The Lady at reception on monday evening, I didnt get her name but she checked me in, and she was just so nice, very helpfull and a delight to talk to. Ann im the morning was kind enough to give me a take away breakfast as i didnt have time to sit. She was a friendly lady to talk to.. It was my first time to stay and i would definetly stay again.🙂

There is nothing i didnt like.🤛🤜....apart from the fact my business trip was only one night.🙂

The location is right in the middle of the main street in Clonakilty - very central; my room was very comfortable and clean and spacious - with a balcony (nice surprise) and overall had the atmosphere of grandeur and luxury; check out is 11; the hotel itself oozes charm and history and seems to be a Clonakilty institution; kettle and tea and coffee-making facilities and a nice breakfast choice...

The wifi was on restricted mode meaning I had to toggle into my own phone data (very frustrating); the water never got hot enough to take a bath - having to fill the kettle (and a bottle) multiple times with hot water from the tap and dump it into the bath to be able to enjoy a nice hot bath certainly does take away from the 'luxury atmosphere'; one of the chairs, I felt, was on the verge of breaking (quite creaky); it would be great to put net curtains on the windows as then one could appreciate natural light rather than having to pull the heavy curtains; didn't appreciate housekeeping knocking and entering before 10am (although neither the 'please make up my room' nor 'do not disturb' signs were on the door) while I was in the bathroom...

We stayed for 3 nights to attend a family gathering. We were able to make a short stop outside (in a bus bay) to offload our luggage and then park in the hotel's own small car park at the back. With the Hotel in the middle of town, we had no need of our car and appreciated the easy access to the towns many bars and restaurants. Our room was spacious, light and airy with a generous sized en-suite. Everthing was clean and I appreciated the biscuits with coffee!. At our age, the lift was a boon. Even though it was August, the real fire in the bar made it very welcoming and we also appreciated the excellent trio playing on Sunday evening. Breakfasts, included in our price were excellent. All staff were friendly, as we have come to expect in Ireland. We thought the price represented great value for money and we would not hesitate to return

Nothing really

Quaint hotel with a lovely atmosphere. Rooms were old fashioned but spotless. Bathroom was sparkling. Everything you needed was provided in the room including biscuits for your tea. Didn’t eat in the bar but breakfast included was nice. Staff were really lovely. Very central as it’s on the Main Street. Would definitely stay here again. Don’t let the 2 stars put you off.

Really enjoyed the break away. Location excellent, staff, food, facilities all excellent, room(s) excellent. We were upgraded to an apartment, at no extra cost to us, because it suited the hotel's other bookings. So that was a lovely surprise but I'm certain a regular double room would just have been as perfect. Location was ideal for us, as its very central and walking distance to lots of other places so plenty variety re live music in O Donovan;s Hotel Bar and in its 'Teach Beag' which provides lovely traditional music. Not to mention other places in Clonakilty, lovely town Highly recommend a stay here.

I didn't see anything that I could improve on

This hotel is full of character and history. It is comfortable without being pretentious . It is a family business with the family members having a hands on approach to the running of the hotel. It isn’t only in the community but clearly an integral part of it. Great trad music session. The staff are all down to earth and genuinely friendly( not just hospitality training course speak!)

The hotel car park is very small but the adjacent public car park is not as restrictive as it may seem at first sight. The cycle storage facility is a bit cluttered with nearly all of the space being taken up the community cycles

From the moment we went inside the door we knew this hotel was special. The staff were exceptionally warm, friendly and welcoming. Robin (or maybe she spells it Robyn!) on reception greeted us like old friends. The room was spotless. The hotel is super dog-friendly. There is no possible way the location could be improved upon - literally on the main street with a bus stop right outside the door, a small private car-park to the rear and a large public car-park just behind that. There is a wide choice of light, not-so-light, and heavy meals (and plenty in between) on the various menus all day long. We were served evening dinner on two days by Maeve (I think!!) and she was wonderful, chatty and welcoming, just like all the staff. There was a very decent selection on the breakfast menu and the 10.30am close-off period made it very relaxing. The hotel is charming beyond compare with beautiful, authentic old-school Irish decor oozing from every corner.

There was nothing we didn't like. Clonakilty is a beautiful place but even if it wasn't, we would come back again in a heartbeat just to stay at this hotel.

The staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful to us and and also to our dog. We also loved the location as it was close to all our favourite places- Kinsale, Barleycove, Baltimore and Bantry. The food was delicious- we had breakfast and evening meal every day. And the weather was great. Lots of fantastic beaches nearby. The room was very comfortable.

I didn't like having to leave!
