Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa , Inchydoney Island, County Cork

"Absolutely amazing, we have stayed in a lot of hotels but this was the best. Fantastic staff, excellent food, stunning scenery and so many lovely touches along the way, for example, a pot of jam when going home and chocolates at bedtime. We will definitely be back!"

"Fabulous location, beautiful interiors with designer furniture, very comfortable and spacious . I've been to many Michelin star restaurants and I have to say the food was top class. All the staff went the extra mile to be friendly and efficient. Well done to all. We will be looking forward to returning in the future."

"Me and my wife stayed here before Christmas. Lovely hotel right on the beach. Rooms were spacious and modern. Bed was so comfortable. The food was amazing. The best steak I've ever ate. Defo recommend"

"Brilliant family hotel. Unfortunately lots of people know how good it is so it can often be booked out! Why is it brilliant? 1)There are lots of good, well located hotels now Ireland but Inchydoney reflects a decades-honed family tradition of hospitality that makes it different. Every staff member in the hotel seems to want to help you enjoy a relaxing stay. You won’t want to leave! 2) The rooms are spotless with a large comfortable bed and every room seems to have a veranda view of the sea. There’s lots of beautiful artwork dotted all around the hotel, some of which you can buy if you fancy! 3) Food is excellent, both in the informal bar and the restaurant. Very tasty and beautifully presented by very attentive waiting staff. In general actually the hotel seems to have a high ratio of staff to customers so you’re never left waiting for anything you might need. 4) In a dying tradition; the hotel also has lots of things to do inside its doors. There’s the sea water pool (slots have to be booked) which is deceptively large. Because of the booking system, it never gets too crowded and there are pleasant water jets dotted around. There’s a play room for younger kids and the library area has loads of deep comfortable sofas and chairs with games and books (and music in the evening) where you can chill with a drink and a tasty snack. The cheese plate is to die for. 5) Finally, there’s the stunning sea location facing south into the Atlantic and surrounded by tidal beaches where you can walk the legs of yourself and the kids and have a dip any time of the year. That said, there is also an awful lot to do nearby, for example lots to do in Clonakilty and fabulous sea vistas like Galley head."

"Went to the bar for a family meal. It is a nice venue, food was very good. There was 11 of us and everyone was happy. Service was great. Would definitely go back and after went for a lovely walk on the beach. What more could you ask for."
