"Lovely welcome by receptionist and complementary homemade lemonade. Beautiful hotel with fascinating history. We really enjoyed or short 2 night stay. Bathroom room could do with modernisation and the windows didn’t keep out all external noise. I would stay again but upgrade from a standard room."

Hayfield Manor

10/10 Excellent
"The Spa was fantastic. Unfortunately, the weight room and gym was small, smelled of the black rubber floor and was very small. We enjoyed long walks near the property and the use of tennis courts nearby."

Clayton Hotel Cork City

Clayton Hotel Cork City

8/10 Good
"The room was very spacious and felt premium. However, one of the curtains was damaged, and there was a large stain on the carpet. Though this was only minor as they were only slight cosmetic issues. The biggest issue was the air-conditioning as it barely even worked. We actually found it was more cooling to open the window. If you’re booking because their air conditioning I recommend you book elsewhere. Overall, it was really nice, and the restaurant was also great, I recommend you get the chocolate orange pudding. Also, remember to bring a swim cap as they require it at the pool. They do have swim caps for purchase for €4 if you don’t pack one as well."
