“The warm heart of Irish hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2011
3
people found this review helpful

The best thing -- of innumerable wonderful things -- about Ireland is the hospitality of its people. It's an ancient and valued tradition. And Creedon's Hotel in Inchigeela, County Cork, epitomizes this tradition like no other place. This warm, cozy village hotel is owned by Joe and Ann Creedon and they care for you as if you were guests in their own home. There are wonderful things to see and do within a few hours of Inchigeela -- I always use Creedon's hotel as "base camp" and do day trips whether for a day of golf in Kerry, to hiking in the magnificent Gougane Barra, to a stroll through Kinsale on the southeast Cork coast. And I delight in knowing when I walk into Creedon's delightful pub in the evening there will be a hearty "Welcome home!" and "Can I fix you something for dinner?" -- regardless of what time it is. My favorite thing to do is to linger over my third (!) pot of tea at breakfast in the main room near the fireplace chatting with Joe on the latest news of the village. I've been back a dozen times now and love it more with each and every visit.

“Joe Creedon.....no one like him any where else”

We travelled to Inchigeelagh to try to find our ancestors and met up with Joe who sang "My Inchigeelagha Lass" to me. With his help and his friends we were actually able to find our O'Leary family....the lot that didn't go to Australia.
Pub has a wonderful friendly sincere atmosphere and food good. Didn't stay at hotel, but reckon it would have been very comfortable.

Stopping in for a pint and meeting Joe and his friends was truly one of our best moments on our trip. Thanks so much for great memories of Ireland!

“Enjoy Joe and Ann”

What a delight it is to spend some time at Creedon's in Inchageelagh. It is more like a welcoming home than a hotel. The management is wonderful, and full of fun, music and stories. Great bar filled with locals. Sunday nights are "grand" when the locals come out to sing and dance. We were guided to beautiful spots in the area, and met warm, kind people. Go if you are looking for a bit of Ireland and it's wonderful people.

“A Hidden Treasure”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 May 2003

people found this review helpful

Creedon's Hotel is a wonderful inn nestled in a town in West Cork with the delightful name of Inchigeela. It is a family-owned hotel that is simple but totally wonderful. Decorated with lots of wonderful antiques and cozy furniture, the adjoining pub is delightful -- the pictures on the walls tell the story of this Cork family -- sons on the Irish football and field hockey teams, family events, etc. Proprietor Joe Creedon is fun, helpful, witty, and knowledgeable about local customs, literature, politics, etc. His wife, Ann, is also delightful -- when she's not working behind the bar you'll find her sitting at one of the tables in the pub, going over the homework of her sons at the end of the day. If you're looking for a place to take wonderful walks, enjoy great conversation, and be taken in by a great family, this is your place!
