Garryvoe Hotel

Breakfast was very good in this hotel. Comfortable rooms. Walk to the beach

Great location, lovely hotel, friendly staff, disappointed with food in lighthouse bistro. Nightly Bar entertainment excellent.

Went to the bistro for late lunch. Setting is nice and the there is ample parking. The welcome was friendly enough. We chose soup of the day and the chowder for starter, followed by pasta with prawn and the beefburger with fries. The soup was nice and tasty, no complaints there. The chowder, however was not, it was weak and runny and tasted like potato soup from a packet with a few pieces of white fish thrown into it without seasoning. Terrible, especially considering the variety of fresh fish available in the immediate area. The main courses were ok, the pasta was cooked well with a savoury sauce and plenty prawns and was well seasoned. The burger was tasty but the meat, which was of good quality was unfortunately cooked until totally dry, pity. The staff were friendly and attentive and the bill was around 80 Euro including drinks. Note..the prices on site do not correspond completely with those on their website menus.

This is a really lovely hotel, friendly staff, and a fabulous location, we would definitely recommend.

Very friendly and helpful staff. We had a room with a sea view which was lovely. The food in the restaurant was good value and tasty

Beautiful hotel overlooking the sea, totally chilled out and relaxed thanks to the beautiful superior sea view room we booked to the Professional and friendly staff. To me one of the main attractions was the Health Club, loved the 25 meter pool and discovered aqua swimming for the first time.

Our experience at Garryvoe for our wedding was incredibly disappointing. Despite our initial excitement and the positive reviews we had read, we encountered numerous issues from the outset. Guests were mistakenly informed that there was no wedding scheduled for our date, we were overcharged, and our instructions were not followed – including providing free drinks to all guests without our consent. To make matters worse, despite being assured that music could play until 4 am, it was abruptly turned off at 1 am, disrupting the celebration. This not only marred our special day but also impacted the experience of guests who had traveled from abroad to be with us. Perhaps most frustrating was the lack of apology or accountability from Aidan and Kevin, the managers, for the myriad of problems we faced. Instead, we found ourselves repeatedly reaching out via emails and calls to resolve issues that should never have occurred in the first place. Overall, our wedding experience at Garryvoe fell far short of our expectations, leaving us deeply disappointed and wishing for a more seamless and enjoyable celebration.

I stayed in Garryvoe for four nights recently. I loved it. My room was clean, comfortable and spacious. I liked their recycling bin and bottled water, something you don't see often in hotels. The staff was excellent. It was like being welcomed into someone's home. They were genuinely interested in the guests and seemed proud of the hotel and it's reputation. I enjoyed the food. There was a breakfast buffet with lots of choice, homemade brown bread and scones and a hot food menu. I ate in the bar a few nights, and again, the food was tasty, fresh and the portion sizes generous. I got a very reasonable rate and they honoured the same rate when I decided to stay an extra (Friday) night. There is a beautiful sandy beach right across the road, perfect for swimming and walking. I hope to return to this gem of a hotel and beautiful part of Ireland again.

The staff when I visited were very helpful and friendly. The hotel is getting some work done and I think this will enhance its appeal. Right on the coast in a quiet location.
