Kilbrittain Whale Tours and Activities

The hotel’s location is fantastic — central, convenient, and walkable to everything we needed. That alone made our stay manageable. However, several issues would make me choose a different place next time, especially given how many other hotel options are in the area. The biggest downside was the noise. The building seems to be constructed in a way that every door closing or slamming echoed loudly into our room, even late at night. It made it difficult to fully relax or get a solid night’s sleep. Temperature control was also a problem. The thermostat in our room was broken, so we had to rely on the front desk to adjust it remotely, which never actually set it to a comfortable level. It always felt off —way too cool — and we had no way to fix it ourselves. Cleanliness was another concern. While nothing was outright filthy, it clearly hadn’t been cleaned thoroughly. My son was playing with Legos on the floor and kept getting other people’s hair tangled in the wheels — more than once. That’s something that shouldn’t happen in any hotel room. Finally, for what the hotel offers, it felt overpriced. The amenities didn’t match the rate, especially compared to what else is available nearby. All in all, while the location is excellent, the noise, temperature issues, and lack of cleanliness mean I wouldn’t stay here again. With so many options in the area, it’s worth looking elsewhere.

This property was one of the best we have stayed at when visiting the UK or Ireland. The rooms were nice and the property was excellent. The staff was so accommodating and helpful. Lived that you had access to the athletic club and dinner T the restaurant was too notch. Highly recommend eating there at least once. Close to the train station to go to Cobh. All in all it was a wonderful trip.

Generally of a high standard but what is awful about this hotel are the very noisy drunks outside and the Mexican restaurant next door. On our last night, Friday 1st to Saturday 2nd August , the music was very, very loud and it did not stop until 3am - (on the dot) . We were unable to get any sleep- and this was in a top-of-the-range, executive room. I would not recommend a stay at this hotel until this situation is sorted out by the hotel management
