My partner and I chose the Garryvoe Hotel for our wedding ceremony and reception after considering many, many hotels in Cork and Waterford. On our first visit, we were blown away by the courteousness of the staff, the impeccable cleanliness, and the overall experience of visiting the Garryvoe. In the run-up to the big day, the staff couldn't have been... More

Having spent too much time around East Cork, my family and I decided to look for a place to stay the night rather than drive home, and enjoy our stay, extend our trip a bit more and wake up relaxed the next day. Unfortunately however we found ourselves at the Garryvoe Hotel. It's been completely overhauled from the old hotel... More

Dear Global Nomad Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us here in Garryvoe last June 2011. It is with great disappointment that I read your comments. One of the most important areas we have concentrated on over the last 10-12 years has been holding onto our philosophy of genuine hospitality. As a hospitality business manager... More

We stayed mid week in this lovely hotel and honestly couldn't fault it. Prices are very reasonable, rooms spacious and clean. We had a balcony and a beautiful view of Ballycotton lighthouse. The staff were all super friendly, helpful and efficient. We also made use of the gym and swimming pool. Excellent facilities, again with pleasant staff, well maintained and... More

I would have to give this hotel the highest marks available. The hotel is very highly maintained and modern. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. The food is fantastic (we ate at the Lighthouse restaurant) but all of this would mean nothing without the staff. From the minute we walked into the reception the staff were friendly and welcoming and... More

Have never seen so many sour faced staff in one area. A group of us went for dinner and spent a fortune on drink and food. One of our orders was completly forgotten and came out 55 minutes after everyone else and it was the wrong order so left waiting another 15 minutes. The woman serving us was very matron... More

I have just returned from a wonderful 2 night visit to this hotel. The room was very large and spotlessly clean and the beds were wonderfully comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff we encountered. Our evening meal and breakfasts were really top class. Best of all though was the location, on a beautiful unspoilt beach with wonderful...

Stayed for a birthday on good friday. Firstly plenty of parking next to hotel, we were greeted by lovely staff at reception, very helpful and welcoming. (as a couple we sometimes get an odd look when we check in for our "double room") The staff here were very genuine and friendly and greeted us very well. The room was clean... More
