Stayed here twice must say had a very nice time in this quiet hotel. Girls on reception lovely and friendly Bedroom very spacious . breakfast nice Grand for an overnight stay while visiting cork

We stayed in the Blarney Golf Resort hotel (formerly The Ramada Hotel) in December 2011.
We arrived a the hotel at 1pm on Friday, expecting to have to wait an hour before check-in. The hotel bar did not open until 6pm! The hotel room was (extremely) cold and didn't really warm up until Saturday afternoon.

The bar was small with little comfortable seating. Taxi required to visit Tower (nearest town) or Blarney village which was possibly 5-6 miles away.

The rooms were spacious and clean, and the breakfast good but the big negative for this hotel, was that the beds are of very poor standard. Anyone with back problems would not sleep in the beds without suffering the consequences!

We only stayed one night here and to be honest it was enough.
We arrived early and the lady on reception was very pleasent and had a room ready for us which was great. The room was really big but a bit strange. The lighting was terrible and the room was freezing so had to have heat on full blast .The bathroom was huge aswell but the shower was pretty terrible more air in it that water !
We didnt dine in the restaurant instead we drove around 15 /20 mins into Cork city and had a goood night out as the hotel bar lacked atmosphere.
We also used the leisure center - the gym was good for a hotel but the pool area and steam room was a little grubby.Again the staff were very pleasant and helpful.
As we got a very good rate for this hotel I was happy with I got but had I paid the full price I would have been a little disapointed.Perhaps because it was over the Christmas period but the place seamed a bit deserted.

We spent 2 nights on a short break. Hotel is located out in the country side. Clean and modern hotel. Pool area and leisure centre is nice. Didn't get to play the surrounding golf course. Room was a good size, small tv though. Shower water pressure was great! Room was freezing when we arrived. They may have been having a problem with the heating.

Restaurant is nice but he menu was a bit of let down. Quiet expensive in the restaurant so I wouldn't expect to be eating there unless its included. Menu was just ok and not very vegierian friendly.
Breakfast was a nice buffet

All in all it was quite pleasant.
