“Attention other hotel owners, this is how you do it.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2011

I stayed here with the wife for 1 night. Our room was amazing (junior suite), dinner was perfect and breakfast...wow: foodie heaven. Staff were superb. The icing on the cake was that it was only 60 minutes from Cork City (South Link). It wasn’t cheap but well worth the price. We stayed in Dromoland Castle a few months after this and wish we hadn’t: no comparison.

“Wow!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2011 via mobile

Went to The old convent on Saturday night for dinner, the 8 plate taster menu. It was absolutely out of this world. The flavour and variety of the dishes excite your pallette in a different way but amazingly compliment each other perfectly. I've been told the menu changes according to what's in season which is always a good sign.
The dishes included crab, pork, smoked salmon, cheeses and possibly the nicest fillet steak I have ever tasted! Well well worth a visit, I'd love to have stayed for the night!

I can't honestly think of one negative in relation to my recent stay in the old convent. Spotlessly clean and well maintained. Warm welcome . Absolutely unbelievable food . Treats available 24hrs. Peace and quiet . I could go on forever.

We have just returned from a lovely night and meal in the old convent. We were last there in 2008 when my now husband decided to propose in this lovely romantic location.

Room 7 was beautiful, huge bath, big room, soft bed. Lovely bubble bath, decent hairdryer. No conditioner, bring your own.

Meal was again, delicious. 8 courses, 2 of which were dessert. If I had one tiny criticism, it would be that I am more a fan of savory than sweet, so a cheese course instead of these two desserts would have been appreciated.

The staff are all so lovely and welcoming, it is the most relaxed we have been in months.
