From the time you arrive and Frank greets you and makes certain your stay is perfect, to the moment when the check-in staff assures your room is just right and offers you sips of Irish whiskey, when you leave the spa feeling rejuvenated, and when you sleep like a baby in your room - all you can think is “when can I come back?” How can I forget housekeeping?...

    We received a significant Blue Book Voucher last summer, and debated at length whether we would use it on a couple of less expensive trips, or blow it all on one big 5 star experience. After much thought, we chose the latter, and now have much regret, as Hayfield Manor failed to deliver anything more than the majority of 3 or 4 star hotels already offer... To be fair, Orchid's did lift our dining experience on night 2, but having booked the 5 star 1 night dinner package for both nights, we expected the 5 star treatment on both nights... Perrods certainly did not live up to five star expectations... Having stayed in a multitude of castles, grand hotels and indeed Blue book hotels, This hotel itself offers nothing spectacular... The leisure facilities are okay, but again, not what I would have expected at this price point... Waiting over half an hour to order desert with the menu open in front of us, while tables next to us remained uncleared was a bit too much... We did highlight our disappointment on check out, but it fell on deaf ears, her only response was "can I let the management know", which we answered of course, but then she proceeded to take payment and wish us well on our way... At this price point, if you want a spectacular venue, go to Ashford Castle/Adare Manor, if you want a spectacular room, go to the Ice House in Mayo, if you want an amazing culinary experience, go to Neven Maguire's in Blacklion, Lyrath in Kilkenny or Lough Rynn Castle for a combination of all amenities... Please to waste your time and vast quantities of cash in Hayfield...

From the moment we arrived and were greeted by Frank, until we checked out.... we enjoyed a 5-star experience... Exceptional staff willing to assist with your requests!...

    ...Stayed at this amazing hotel last weekend with my husband for 2 nights & I have to say I could not fault one thing. From arriving on the Saturday afternoon to departing on Monday, we were treated like royalty... The staff here are fantastic as is the attention to detail... Cannot rate the staff enough... We both had hour long massages on Sunday which were amazing & again we were treated like royalty... We missed breakfast on Monday morning as didn’t realise it had finished at 10.30 but they still sat us by the fire in reception which was nice & cost and proceeded to send us out the most beautiful continental breakfast which we really weren’t expecting... I have to say we would return here again & again and want to thank the staff so much for making our weekend so special...

    ...The level of personal service was off the charts. It all started when Frank (the Concierge), an outstanding exemplar of the hotel, bounded across the cobble entrance yard to help my wife with her wheelie suitcase... Check in was quick, friendly and included a small complimentary whiskey... The room was spotless and there were some lovely touches like a personalised card to my wife (it was her birthday), some chocolates and other nibbles... We caught up with friends later in the bar which was warm, welcoming and fun... Again service was super but the food was genuinely fantastic... The sommelier entertained us with some personal stories and for a finish the kitchen sent my wife a small personalised birthday treat... I had told the hotel it was a celebration stay but asked they be discrete - their discretion and thoughtfulness added to the weekend... Finally, our e-car was charged up for free each day, we used the hot tub and pool, and the place was noticeably spotless... Go raibh míle maith agaibh to each and everyone of the team...

    Myself and my sister vsited the Spa on 26th February. We were booked in for the Signature package, we arrived a little early to avail of the pool and outdoor tub... The Spa area is absolutely beautiful, we were greeted by Sarah who was extremely helpful, we enjoyed relaxing in the pool area before our treatments... It was absolute bliss 💖 I was with Karen and she was superb, she has a beautiful manner and made me feel extremely relaxed, I would request her again... Once finished Sarah was on hand to ensure we enjoyed our experience and showed us to the restaurant... The Afternoon tea was beautiful, we were so relaxed after our treatments that this was a gorgeous way to end our day... The staff in the restaurant were so attentive, the attention to detail was amazing 💕 We would definitely return to the Spa and restaurant, Thanks to the staff at Hayfield for a beautiful day...

    So our stay from start to finish was excellent. I really loved Frank who we met first and he brought our suitcases into reception and even offered to bring them upstairs... She had us checked in and my husband had a complimentary whiskey and everything at check in... The room and the turn down service were beautiful and I really really appreciated the rose petals and welcome sweets and berries along with the chocolate bar, crisps and water... It was so nice and thoughtful for me who missed that experience when we got married... You have no idea how happy we were that the pool, hot tub, sauna and steam room were open until 11pm... I would highly commend every single one of them and look after them... Thank you for our most beautiful relaxing stay...

We dined early in the Orchid Restaurant which was delicious and without fuss, a very relaxed experience... We were surprised that we had just ordered our breakfast, gone for cereal/yoghurts in the breakfast room, as we sat down our breakfast was served... Staff were really helpful and could not do enough for us...

    I had the greatest pleasure in returning to Hayfield Manor Hotel Cork for one of they set Christmas Lunch Menus on the 14th of December with my friends. From start to finish it was a fabulous experience... The day would have been wonderful with all this but something that added even more to our overall experience was our amazing, wonderfully funny, kind , friendly waiter Chris who could not have done anything more for us ... From start to finish he was super, it really made our day the way he looked after us and we made us laugh... I really hope that management will pass on our thanks for making a great day wonderful... Thanks again Chris from the Sheep's head Bantry ladies...

He was so friendly and helpful bringing our bags to our room and telling us all about what the Hayfield Manor offers for it’s guests... I would definitely recommend staying at this hotel as it really is five star at its best and offers sophisticated high class experience that you’ll struggle to find anywhere else...

    We arrived by taxi from the train station and the bellhop was there immediately to get our luggage... When we entered our room, there was a tray on one of the beds with a bag of Irish potato chips and a large square of dark chocolate with an image of Hayfield Manor... We stayed 2 nights and breakfast was included in our stay... We felt very pampered by the dining room staff and were pleased with the choices on the menu... The breakfast bar was nice with fresh fruit, juices, gluten free choices, sweet breads and scones... The vegetarian among us had the avocado with toast both mornings and was very happy... Nice to have a pot of tea or coffee on the table... When we enquired about the price of taking the bus to Blarney Castle, the front desk was very helpful and even gave us change for the bus... The service at Hayfield Manor exceeds anything I’ve run into before and I hope to be back someday to this beautiful place...

    ...We recently spent 4 lovely nights at the Hayfield Manor and without a doubt it was our favourite hotel during our Irish adventure! From the time we arrived to when we left we were treated so well be all the stellar staff... The bellmen welcomed us heartily and made us feel at home... The front desk staff were our next contact and throughout our stay they were such a pleasure to speak with and nothing was too much to ask any member of staff... The concierge, Frank, was such a nice fellow and so helpful with planning what to do and where to go... The staff throughout the hotel were kind, friendly and very helpful... Great amenities and lovely walk in shower with a large bath too... Daily breakfast was delicious as was dinner in the casual dining room... We met the hotel manager and he was more than helpful and a real gentleman... Its location just a short walk from the centre of town is perfect...

Highly recommend, we will be back for another stay...

We didn't expect their turndown service because we have been to a lot of 5star hotels and this is the first time for us to experience this... I felt that their guests are really pampered... When we came back after breakfast, bed was made and got fresh towels... Couldn't ask for more because they're a step ahead of the guest's needs... Would definitely stay here again if we come back to cork...

My wife and I had such a wonderful experience in December 2022 to celebrate her birthday and our wedding anniversary that I booked again for this year. Our experience was as lovely as our first. From the moment we drove through the entrance gateway the enchantment of Christmas at Hayfield Manor enveloped us. The beautiful lights on the trees and Hotel itself set the tone. The concierge staff were very attentive, welcoming and accommodating. It is a treat to hand over keys of the car and cases and not have to think about where they are or will end up. It allowed us to enter the beautiful foyer of the Hotel fully able to enjoy the amazing and tasteful Christmas Decorating that sets such a wonderful mood. Our check-in was as smooth as the local spirit we were offered to try as we accepted our key. Our receptionist was very welcoming, friendly and knew our reason for staying and congratulated us and expressed felicitations to my wife. Our room on the Third floor was gorgeous with a lovely view looking out over the front entrance, the lighted tree and the magnificent St. Finbarr's cathedral in the background. Oksana had the room looking lovely and the hand written card welcoming us personally was a lovely touch. (A special thanks to Shannen for that and her other touches). A beautifully decorated Christmas tree in our room really added to our feeling that the 'Season of Christmas' had indeed begun. Everything about Hayfield Manor Hotel says charm and elegance, hospitality and care and a real sense that every guest matters. The hotel was humming with guests the two nights and days we stayed yet we never felt the service or attention waned. From the excellent breakfasts with a huge choice to the delicious dinner, all the food was excellent and the service, morning and evening was perfect. Thank you to everyone involved. We would come back back in a heartbeat.

I had a solo trip from California to Cork for a college reunion and spent 5 nights at the Hayfield. My wife and I have stayed here many times over the years and, as usual, it was an amazing experience. Beginning with the greeting from Frank and Noel at the concierge, to the warm welcome from Nathan at reception (including a glass of mead), the comfortable bed and warm room complete with lit Christmas Tree, a wonderful touch. The breakfasts were greats as always; I am coeliac but they were even able to provide me with a “Full Irish Breakfast” gluten-free. I dined there, both for lunches in the bar area and dinner on two evenings in “Perrott’s Restaurant, and the experience could not have been better. Excellent food and top level service and attention from Stanfer and Chris. Because I play piano, I became friendly with the resident pianist in the foyer, Denis. He even invited me to play a few songs, which I greatly appreciated and enjoyed. A very human touch from Denis, a fantastic pianist, and a kind and friendly man. It will probably be a while before I get back to Cork, but I know where I will be staying…..at the Hayfield Manor of course.

We booked a weekend special (2 nts b+b + 1 dinner) in order to be onsite for a friends special birthday lunch. On the plus side - the hotel was beautifully decorated and we were greeted by friendly and attentive staff. Food was good throughout. The rooms looked lovely - some really nice touches and extras provided. However…… First issue was that our dinner booking (made two weeks in advance) had been made for the wrong night. This was, however, eventually resolved to our satisfaction. Second (and more important) issue was that the heating unit in our room was not working. Two visits from staff later, we were supplied with a plug in heater which helped. (It happened to be the coldest weekend of the year so far!) The following morning I reported it again to reception. We were subsequently advised that the maintenance manager had examined the unit and agreed it wasn’t working. We were offered a change of room which we decided to accept. We changed, packed our belongings and went to our planned event. Later in the evening we collected the key to our ‘new’ room and retired for the evening. Unfortunately we soon realised that the heating unit in this room wasn’t working either. Coupled with that, we became aware of a constant low level humming noise which was due to the fact that all the ducting pipe work for that part of the hotel was running down the wall immediately outside our window and there were industrial vents just below the window. The noise continued all night. On checkout I detailed our experience to the receptionist who first of all thanked me and said she would note the numbers of the two rooms and have the heating units checked out. Eventually having clarified that I was not satisfied with matters she suggested that she would speak to the manager. After waiting some moments she advised that them she had been authorised to give me a 10% reduction on the price of the accommodation and this was the best she could do. With hindsight, I should have demanded to speak to the manager myself - but all in all - my conclusion - this was not a 5 star experience for us and not a 5 star response from the hotel. Despite the positives we won’t be back!

If you deserve a treat (and who doesn’t?) stay a few days in Hayfield Manor. It’s a wonderful pampering experience. The staff, food, spa area and the outdoor hot tub are just fab. We had a wonderful stay and can’t wait to go back. Thank you to all involved.

All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The bed was very comfortable but the food in Orchids was not of the standard expected in a 5 Star Hotel. The hotel was nicely decorated for the festive season.

Our second visit to Hayfield Manor and it was as good as the last. Was a little worried that our first visit might have been just good luck but honestly this hotel is just the best I've stayed in. The food is amazing but really the staff are just wonderful. Never left waiting and they are so attentive and make you feel so comfortable. We are already planning our next visit. A true 5 star.

This is my third time staying at Hayfield and I’m not sure how it is possible to stay in such a beautiful luxurious place but have it feel so homely at the same time. I really think the staff make it special they are always so welcoming, friendly and helpful. It isn’t often you stay somewhere and think the staff really all love their jobs. The food is amazing, breakfast is cooked fresh no hot buffet and the choice is huge. We ate dinner in their restaurant Perrott’s and it did not disappoint. If you are looking for a break you will want to repeat every year I highly recommend Hayfield Manor.

Hayfield Manor did it again! Our overnight stay was as pleasurable as previously. Hotel ticks all the boxes, lovely ambiance, staff most attentive , caring and friendly. Dinner in the evening was superb - food and service both excellent. Room too, was most comfortable and surprise, surprise, the bathroom ( and particularly the bath/ shower were totally modernised and pleasant to use. In a previous review, I had suggested the need to update these facilities - most pleasantly surprised at the new set-up!! Well worth a visit/ stay when in Cork!
