Ballymaloe House Cookery School Tours and Activities

The Dean Cork is well located, with a contemporary, trendy feel and a great vibe. We enjoyed the atmosphere, and it is a convenient base for exploring the city. However, the room was very small, particularly considering the price. There was barely enough space for one piece of luggage per person, and with no storage, it felt cramped. At this price, we would reasonably expect more usable space. Our coffee machine also did not work, and breakfast felt expensive for what was on offer. We had mentioned that our stay was to celebrate my partner’s 60th birthday. The acknowledgement was a mini Time Out chocolate bar. While the intention may have been kind, it felt rather underwhelming for a milestone birthday.

An incredible hotel with friendly and very helpful staff.
