Hotel was probably refurbished on the 1990s. Flat screen tv in bedroom . was about 20 years old nearly size of a tube to hanging on the wall. Bedroom was large and very comfortable king size bed. Staff very friendly, welcoming and helpful. In the middle of the village so handy for pubs and restaurants and small ferry to garnish island and it’s Italian gardens.

Glengariff is a pleasant village on the coast and in the national park. Glengarish island is a short boat trip away abd well worth a visit. We were fortunate to see seals and a sea eagle.

A Hidden Gem in Glengarriff – Truly Exceptional

I recently stayed at the Glengarriff Park Hotel and was genuinely impressed by every aspect of this charming, family-run establishment. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that this hotel prides itself on offering not just comfort, but a heartfelt experience.

Nestled right in the heart of Glengarriff, the hotel is perfectly situated within walking distance of all the local attractions. Whether you’re heading to the stunning Blue Pool, exploring the Bamboo Park, or catching the ferry to Garnish Island. Everything is just a short stroll away, making it an ideal base for discovering the beauty of West Cork.

The in-house restaurant and bar are a real highlight. The food was consistently excellent, with a menu that balances hearty Irish classics and more refined options. The bar has a warm, welcoming vibe, perfect for winding down after a day of exploring.

What truly sets this hotel apart is the staff. Their kindness and dedication are second to none. When I asked about shoe polishing available, they discovered it wasn’t available locally and then drove to the next town to get it for me. That level of care and attention is rare and speaks volumes about their commitment to guest satisfaction.

If you’re looking for a place that combines comfort, convenience, and genuine Irish hospitality, the Glengarriff Park Hotel is a standout choice. I’ll absolutely be returning and recommending it to anyone heading to this magical corner of Ireland.

A really lovely hotel in a magnificent village. Very friendly and professional staff . Nice large well presented room . Great continental breakfast included free, great selection. The area is astounding. We took a boat trip to Garnish Island,15 mins . Basking seals on the way and a truly beautiful island that had been gifted to the nation by a man who created a remarkable paradise.Glengarriff goes straight to number one in my favourite places .

The hotel is well located in the centre of Glengarriff, with ample parking at the rear. Good access to the walk to the water’s edge. The staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast was a simple Continental buffet, with good coffee. The hotel had apparently been non-operational for a while and they are still gearing up. The restaurant was not functions apart from breakfast. We suggested that additional lighting is needed in the room. The hotel is spotlessly clean. Next time that decorating is done, it might be a good idea to lighten the colour schemes, which are rather dark. A useful stopping off point.

We had booked a double bed room. Initially I saw she had a certain room number written down but after feeling a bit judged for my husband's tattoos, our room was changed. It has two twin beds pushed together and two more separate twin beds in the room. The bath stopper didn't fit. The shampoo and body wash were reusable and one had a long piece of hair on it. The bathroom had rust and mold on places. The bed was so hard I couldn't sleep. It was like right on a box spring. You had to put a room key card in a slot in the room to get electricity for the room. Just not a good experience.

Glengarriff Park Hotel: a great base for West Cork

Chris, below is the review I

I stayed in Glengarriff Park Hotel in June 2022 with a friend, Chris. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming, helpful and efficient. The hotel is a lovely building, but it's the staff who are the star of the show. Thanks again everyone.

The hotel is a wonderful base from which to see the whole West Cork and South Kerry area. We went as far afield as Derrynane, Mizen Head Lighthouse, Kenmare, Bantry, Schull, Castletownbere etc. And we also visited the enchanting Garinish Island right on the hotel's doorstep.

Glengarriff Park Hotel was more than I was expecting! I booked a family room not realizing it was two separate rooms which was perfect. The bed was the most comfortable I had slept on thus far in our trip. The town was lovely and quiet as well. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Only caveat is that each room lacked in bedside plugs. But plugs were across the room.

Horrid

Parking is at the rear and access to reception is either long walk around the front with cases, past the toilets or in through dining room. On arrival we stood waiting for the receptionist to look up to see us looming over her for what seemed to take more than a cursory few seconds. Particularly laughable given the confined space! We were given keys to our rooms. Ours was not as booked but acceptable. The hotel is tired, has an elderly care home feel but does seem to be clean. I personally wouldn’t eat there and we declined breakfast consideration.
We wouldn’t rush back and my advice to other travelers is this is not a good spot for accommodation or food. Keep driving!

In the middle of glengariff, you can get cheape

Glengariff itself is very small and the hotel is right in the middle of the Main Street. It's right opposite the blue pool ferry stop for garinish island so a good location. The rooms were a good size and very clean and comfortable. It had been raining and the hotel staff said the brown water from the taps was a result of the rain. Still unsure if that was really the cause, they do need to look into this problem better. Staff were friendly enough but we'd go somewhere else for breakfast as the continental and veggie choices weren't great.

This hotel is conveniently located half way along the main street of the delightful village of Glengariff. There is a good selection of bars and restaurants in the village, all within walking distance. The hotel forms a great base for exploring the Beara peninsula. The bedrooms are fairly basic but are clean and fine for a short stay. We had booked a twin room but were given a family room - a double and a single bed. Unfortunately the single bed was particularly uncomfortable, perhaps because it is meant for a child. Breakfast was nice & cooked to order. The staff were very friendly and happy to help wherever they could. All in all a good place to stay.
