What people say

The View from the rooms was excellent. the food was good but very expensive. the dining room service was good.the food was good. No heating on in the rooms, TV remote not working. We were refused a wake up call, told to use our mobile phones. Early golfer breakfast was not available, a poor cheese sandwich, a bottle of water and an apple was provided in lieu of breakfast. It was a poor show and we were embarassed to have to admit to our American companion that the hotel were not willing to provide proper service. The hotel is located directly beside the golf course.

Food & Drink

The popular restaurant is in a large conservatory dining area which is shaded to avoid glare. It has beautiful views of the golf links and clubhouse, Ballinskelligs Bay and the McGillycuddy Reeks.

The gourmet restaurant is famous for its fresh seafood and shellfish delicacies, with live lobsters and crayfish in our tanks. A variety of snacks are also served in our fully-licensed bar.

Seafood is a speciality, but non-seafood lovers have plenty of other choices, including Kerry lamb and beef. There are also really good vegetarian dishes and some more unique choices!

Chef Patron: Henry Hunt.
