My friends and I visited this hotel last year for my Hen Weekend. It was that good we returned again this year. As it is only about 6 miles from Cork City, and Blarney you are close enough, yet far enough away to both enjoy a weekend of pampering, along with a weekend of partying. The staff are extremely helpfull,... more

A group of 15 women stayed in the Oriel House hotel for a hen party- first weekend in June. The service was fantastic and the value for money was unbeatable. Staff were so friendly and more than willing to help with any issues - despite it being a very busy weekend for them. Our package included treatments at the spa... more

We had dinner on the Friday night in the hotel purely because it was convenient (good friday). It was really tasty and nice. On both mornings, we had lovely buffet... more

I would love to know what guidelines are adhered to for awarding stars to hotels. Yes the Oriel is nice and shiny, rooms are lovely and big, it has a leisure centre and spa but after that there's very little that would make me think it deserves to be a 4*. A word of warning, if you're looking for a... more
