Garryvoe Hotel

Lock in a great price for Garryvoe Hotel - rated 9 by recent guests.

to get started.

Décor of lobby, bar and restaurant is very nice. Food in restaurant was good.

Alice, Ireland

This is a true 4 star hotel, also known for its wedding venue and top-notch restaurant. The location across from the Garryvoe beach offers a peaceful and relaxing setting with superb views. Additionally, there is an excellent fitness center on site, with a lovely pool and well-equipped gym. We opted for the sea view room – well worth the extra. The décor is quite nice (although a little too modern) and there was plenty of room, a large bathroom and plenty of other nice amenities. Pro’s • Great waterfront location • Excellent facilities – especially the fitness center • Very nice rooms and amenities • Highly rated restaurant

David, USA

The staff were very friendly and helpful and the hotel has a homely atmosphere

Michelle, Ireland

Location and view and size of room and food was excellent

Carmel, Ireland

Location was absolutely amazing. Literally a 2 minute stroll to the beach and the views were spectacular. The hotel was spotless and everything and everywhere was so comfortable, from the rooms, to the dining room, to the library, the lobbies. The attention to detail and comfort was second to none. The staff were wonderful, so courteous and so helpful. They looked smart and professional and were interested in you and what you needed or wanted. The food was absolutely fantastic. Nice size portions and beautifully cooked. We didn’t have one meal that we weren’t entirely satisfied with. Everything was cooked and presented to perfection and priced fairly. Parking was great and very secure with adequate lighting around the area and the pool was to die for with a fab outdoor jacuzzi. We absolutely loved this hotel and are already planning our next visit there for next month!!

Lisa, Ireland

A fantastic location, just in front of the long sandy sea beach. The hotel stuff and the facilities are awesome. Bath with a jacuzzi for our honeymoon was an extra treat for us.

눉The room was cold especially in the evening. The hotel was poorly signposted. The decor in the reception area and glass corridor would need improved. There was a smell in the corridor to our room on the first floor
눇The room was beautifully decorated. The bed was comfortable as we're the pillows. The room was spotless.

눉No towels on arrival, Poor showering facility and the pillows were not great as I've a severe back injury. I feel the price should be lowered slightly to that of the 140 range. 167 with no breakfast is a tad bit absurd.
