Arrived on the Friday to be met with a friendly receptionist on a two night couples stay. The room was extremely clean and 5* worthiness. The bathroom had a very large walk in shower and a faboulous extra large bath with the tap in the centre coming out from the wall like a mini waterfall. On the Saturday morning we... More

I saw a great deal on ones of those deals sites and decided to treat my mother and I to a spa weekend, it was the best decision. We had a fantastic weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff were very polite and welcoming. The food (breakfast, Lunch and Dinner) was excellent, all handmade at Fota. The rooms were... More

Took a break here to get out of the city and visit Fota Wildlife Park and had a fantastic experience that I'd love to repeat. Took the train to the wildlife park and walked through it to the main gate (we had park membership) where one of the park staff kindly called the concierge to pick us up. We were... More

Had one night stay as part of family wedding. Fantastic experience. Room was huge and the bed was definitely one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in. Breakfast was as you would expect in 5 star hotel. Fantastic choice and food was great. Only personal complaint is decor of dining room is not very plush. Also was disappointed... More

Had a weekend away with partner in Cork in this fantastic hotel. Braved an hour and a half to get out of Dublin on a Friday evening to get to this wonderful getaway hotel. Immediately on entering we were warmly welcomed and seated at reception. Welcoming staff to bring bags to room. Room looking onto woodlands with rabbits playing on... More

The hotel is quite modern and the staff are very nice. I loved breakfast each morning which is five star. The hotel was full during our stay and the last day we stayed we arrived much later to breakfast, the restaurant was full and the staff seemed to have lost some control, we had problems getting service. Go early. We... More

We stayed here during the Easter break, check-in was great, bedrooms lovely and spacious and spotlessly clean. Leisure centre was great and a great time was had by all. Unfortunately, the service in the bar was poor, had to eventually get our own menus, had to call someone to take our order and there was a long wait for the... More
