Macliam Lodge Guesthouse

Open and friendly welcome by the hostess Maeve.

Nothing.

The owner was very friendly and gave us alot of interesting local knowledge. Our room for 3 was spacious and comfortable. The town was 8-10 mins walk away with good local shops and places to eat and drink. Lovely walk from Port Mcsherry round the coast. Excelllent breakfast.

absolutely Mave!!! She's soo "mummy-like" and friendly! i had to travel to Cork the strike sunday and she tried everything she could to find someone that could give me a spin, just not to make me have to book an expensive taxi! thank you for everything!!!

The staff were so friendly even dropped us to the hotel where we had a wedding, breakfast was lovely and nothing was to much trouble. Ideal location

Close to Clonakilty, friendly staff, spacious room.

All. Lovely place and owners...

Everything was fine

friendly welcome, obliging attitude,homely atmosphere,good food.

This visit felt like we were staying at a friend's house - Thanks Maeve for making us feel so welcome. See you again.

Very friendly welcome throughout our stay, and good service when required

No issues

Excellent location, owner v friendly, organised for us to tag into a taxi with another group to get to our friends wedding venue

Nothing

Warm welcome from Maeve who continued to be kind and friendly throughout my stay.Clean room, linen etc., good shower. I had a choice of breakfasts and as I don't eat a lot of meat I asked for a tomato omelette. It was delicious, light and fluffy. The next morning I fancied a fried egg but I like them rock hard. I explained this to Maeve who felt embarrassed to serve two 'hard' fried eggs but they were exactly as I like them - thank you, much appreciated! Just out of town enough to be away from the noisy streets but not a long walk at all - about ten minutes which was very pleasant. Would recommend (and have already!) and will stay again.

Very friendly owner Maeve. Really chatty and made me feel right at home. There was a gang of us attending a wedding quite near by but Maeve even drove us to the venue out of the goodness of her heart. Lovely room - clean, warm, comfortable - all you can ask for.

Great service, very friendly staff (Maeve the manager couldn't have done enough for us!). Rooms were nice, clean and with great pump showers! Location was good with ample parking.

There was nothing we didn't like, we will be recommending the place to family and friends and would stay there again gladly!

An excellent guesthouse with a beautiful room, plenty of off road parking with very friendly and welcoming proprietors.

The staff is perfect, you feel there like your own house.

The host was friendly.

Radiators were not turned on and, while there was a stand-alone electric heater in the room, there was no heat in the bathroom and no hot water in the wash hand basin. There was, however, an electric shower. The host made a mistake with the breakfast, which anyone can do, but she made out that I had ordered incorrectly, which I distinctly did not do. For what we got and considering that it is a guesthouse and that we could have booked a hotel in the town cheaper, it was a bit pricey.

Lovely People, Very friendly and helpful. A pleasure to stay there.

Not as close to town (village) as I had thought...but that may be my own fault for not researching more closely. A bit strangely located right next to oil depot. Hosts FANTASTIC: very sweet and attentive. Maeve even picked up our little bag of local cheeses, breads and wine from grocery to take back to guesthouse for us; offered advice re: sites to see, restaurants, music. Cooked "Irish" breakfast nothing special (though tasty); eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, tomatoe are things normally eaten in US. I wished for more local Irish items: fresh scones, local cheeses, more choices on fresh breads and salmon (Clonakility is on sea!). Rooms small but quiet and clean--no views. Nice family operation.

As mentioned above: wished for more variety in breakfast (local cheeses, breads,etc). Be aware that there are stairs and anyone who has back, ankle issues should be asking about lift (elevator) for hauling luggage when booking any place. Our hosts kindly took suitcases to our rooms.

Maeve was a very welcoming, helpful and tactful host. We enjoyed a very clean, quiet and comfortable double room with good ensuite.

the accomodation was excellent and the couple that run it were so friendly and helpful,it was an absolute joy to be there albeit for much too short a stay,thankyou both very much indeed.

Loved the good advice re where to eat and where to find great live music

the owner and hostess maeve made us feel very welcome like part of the family excellent breakfast would stay again if in the area Best Regards Michael & Breda O'Connor

Lots of space. Very good breakfast. Very friendly staff. Great location.

No complaints, would be happy to stay here again.

Extremely hospitable hostess. Good tidy rooms. Left a key out for us as we were arriving late as plane delayed. I would thoroughly recommend a stay here.

Maeve has been an excellent host looking after us during our stay. Would definitely stay there again.
