The hotel is definitely worth splurging on for a couple of nights. The rooms were mostly correct, with a slight issue of a spider and cobwebs spotted. The service, especially the concierge staff, deserves credit for managing everything well during our stay.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel situated in a large park on a beautiful peninsula in Cork Harbour. The rooms were bright, comfortable, and very tidy, allowing me to enjoy a peaceful night's sleep. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond, especially John at the concierge. However, the dining experience was subpar, and the overall value for money was not up to a 5-star standard. The location was absolutely stunning, and I will definitely come back for the SPA experience.
