Stayed in family room for one night. Check in was friendly but slightly put out with having to wait 20 mins for our room despite arriving at 2.45pm. Minor gripe though. The room was very nice and had everything we needed. The pool is nice but the swimming lanes mean that space with kids can be tight. Breakfast was very good. We stayed on a Saturday night and there was a lot of noise in corridors which disturbed sleep a bit but can't really lay a lot of blame on hotel for this. Happy to stay there again particularly as we got a great deal there.

Just arrived back from a weekend in the Quality Hotel Clonakilty, exceptionally good weekend, kids facilities were excellent, two children aged 4 and aged 8 were very happy, and parents happy too. Jungle Gym was great, pool was fab, decor was a bit old but quite adequate.
I had only one or two small grievances, the bedroom we were in was very cold, this is January and it was a particular cold and the radiators were luke warm, they were not left on at night and even first thing in the morning they were cold. Tried the rads in the hallway and they were also cold. As I say this is my small grievance.
Food was excellent, kids meal super, we did feel the restaurant lacked character as it had a 'school canteen' feel to it, it wouldnt take much to cheer it up, a bit of soft lighting, some tablecloths, piano in the corner. You couldnt fault the food or portion size so it is just our thoughts on the dining experience.
Would I go back, definately ! kids loved it and its a safe fun environment for them, the bar area is also family friendly and kids are welcome in the bar which is a rarity in ireland.

just in d door home from a weekend at the quality hotel in Clonakilty co Cork. It was meself ,my boyfriend and the two kids both aged 9. When we arrived it was only 12 noon so we were too early for check in so we went to Lannigans restraunt for sum early lunch which we found was dear for food and the food was only average! Then we went into oscars bar just while we were waiting for a drink and the drink there was also expensive...€4.40 for a pint and nearly €3 for a glass of coke!saying that though it was a nice relaxing bar. On check in their was sum error that the family room we booked wasn't available so we were given a two bed apartment which was fine.Apartment was basic with a tiny kitchenette consisting of fridge,kettle,toaster and sink but we didnt mind as we were b&b anyways.Bathroom was spotless and the rooms small but spotless.also there was a little sitting room with tv and a dvd player which was nice.the poll could have being designed more child friendly as their was 3 swimming lanes and than the rest of the pool was shallow.Myself and my boyfriend used the ssauna n jacuzzi while we wer there too and my god i felt like a lobster being put in the jacuzzi to boil.....the temperature was way to hot...the water was scalding me getting into it.!!Saying that though the hotel and staff were nice but i wish they had more entertainment put on for the kids. We had two 9 year olds with us and they were bored.yes theres a cinema on site but the latest film suitable for them to watch was on at 5:10 in the evening so they were out and all at half 6.the teen zone consisted of a few tvs that they could play the nintendo wii on...at a fee! and also a pool table and air hockey table.However it was full of toodlers and younger kids so they wouldnt go in so in the end we all ended up going back to the apartment early and watching a dvd we had brought with us. Also, in the bar that evening it was full and I couldn't make out why....but found out the restraunt was fully booked and so people had to order their food from the restraunt to eat in the bar. The breakfast in the hotel was plentiful and plenty of variety too.

Visited between Christmas and the New Year and was a bit disappointed compared to previous trips. Whilst it was very clean it was a bit "tired" looking and needs a revamp. Lovely pool however play area could be improved a bit more in terms of content. Food was OK only - which was disappointing as it was fantastic (as hotel food goes) on previous occasions. Compared to other 2 trips we had there we were very disappointed. Children running up and down the corridors until 1.30am didn't exactly help but that is more the fault of parents than the hotel.

However the staff there are outstanding. In particular one of the managers at breakfast (chap with glasses) was extremely friendly to families despite being run off his feet!
We had to leave a night early as our kids were sick - the lovely receptionists took the nights B&B off our bill which was very nice of them as we weren't expecting it. Again, the staff overall were great.
