We absolutely loved our visit to Eccles, the room was spotless, gorgeous and the food to die for !! I found the staff also exceptionally nice and pleasant. We had an amazing deal including a two course meal, Glengarriff is a lovely place, with walks around the blue pool the Views of the islands and the town itself had fantastic shops, bars and beer gardens with live music, a really great experience !

“Excellent place to stay, best food I've had all trip!”

Room was small but tidy, and had sufficient storage space for my short stay. Bathroom was nicely sized given the size of the sleeping area. Appreciated the recently renovated interior. Reception was excellent and gave great tips on how to make the most of my short time exploring the Beara peninsula… lisää

Room was small but tidy, and had sufficient storage space for my short stay. Bathroom was nicely sized given the size of the sleeping area. Appreciated the recently renovated interior. Reception was excellent and gave great tips on how to make the most of my short time exploring the Beara peninsula. Grand old hotel that has retained the old interior for at least the common spaces, with a very welcoming and cosy lobby/lounge area. Breakfast was very high quality, clean and not too greasy or heavy. Both the cold buffet and the hot entree were excellent. The highlight of my stay was my experience at both the bar and the restaurant. At the bar, I was served by a very friendly bartender with fairly priced drinks and a good local variety that I appreciated being able to taste. I was able to order from the restaurant to eat at the bar and I was floored at how amazing the seafood chowder was. It was so good, I decided to dine in the next evening at the restaurant. The menu items are very simply described so I was staggered at the creativity of flavors, sauces, and quality of preparation of the food served. The website description is very brief when listing the accolades of the head chef so I really wasn't expecting the food to be as good as it was. The food is absolutely Michelin-star quality, and priced like any fine- dining restaurant that I've eaten at during my trip, which was very much appreciated. As a tourist, it's the worst feeling when you feel like you've overpaid for run-of-the-mill quality or even worse, food that seems to be specifically catered to (...American) tourists. I've recently dined at a number of high-end restaurants in NYC and my experience with the food served at the hotel's restaurant/bar exceeded them by leaps and bounds. By far, the best food I've had so far during my trip and past trips to Ireland. Huge props and respect to the head chef for the effort, creativity, and TLC put into the food. This is a hidden gem of a restaurant and worth stopping by just for the food.

“Outstanding meal for a large family gathering”

From the moment we arrived, this hotel delivered an exceptional dining experience on every level.

From the moment we arrived, this hotel delivered an exceptional dining experience on every level. The setting alone from the heated conservatory is worth the visit—perched perfectly to offer a breathtaking sea view of the islands and beyond. Dylan and all the staff were outstanding: warm, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about making our visit special. Service was seamless without ever feeling intrusive, and every recommendation—from wine pairings to menu highlights—was spot on. As for the food, it was simply superb. Each dish was thoughtfully presented and full of flavor, clearly crafted with high-quality ingredients and real attention to detail. From the first bite to the last, everything felt refined yet comforting, striking that perfect balance between creativity and familiarity. Dining here isn’t just about eating—it’s an experience that engages all the senses. Between the impeccable service, exquisite food, and stunning ocean backdrop, this is a place I would return to without hesitation and recommend to anyone looking for something truly memorable.
