We spent two nights in the hotel. The location was spectacular with lovely views of the lake from our room and dining room and excellent access to walks in the national park and nearby cycle routes. The room was clean and comfortable. The owners were friendly and helpful in helping us to organise walks and cycling routes including photocopying their... More

Did not actually stay at this hotel, but visited the restaurant for a special family occasion. We arrived early and went to the hotel bar to have a drink. Its very quaint and old fashioned, but in a lovely way. I have to say that it was very cold and I had to keep my coat on. They did not... More

I'm Just back from a brilliant weekend in gougane barra hotel. The atmosphere in the hotel is very welcoming and the staff are extremely friendly and attentive. The food is truly outstanding and the views out over the lake while enjoying your meal only adds to the experience. We also had a kayaking trip as part of our package. It... More

We had a small family wedding here in Sept 2011. The owners Neil and Katy could not have been more helpful or friendly for our big day. Even for someone who lives in west cork all the time the scenery is breathtaking. Both the breakfast and the wedding meal itself were excellent but i would have expected no less given... More

All the other reviews appear to be quite accurate; located 200 meters from the entrance to a national park, situated on a lake, with excellent food and very comfortable rooms, this is as nice an experience as one can have in Ireland. To get to Gougane Barra, you turn off from the "main" road between Cork and Killarney, then snake... More

This old fashioned hotel is beautifully situated by a lake and forest. The rooms were cozy and comfortable and the restaurant is delightful. I would love to return here again.

Stayed here for a family reunion, as we have done for the past few years. The peace and tranquility here is quite wonderful. The owners are the nicest people you could meet, very helpful, yet never overbearing. A true family run business, where the owners children make the scones (higly recommended) and also help out around the hotel. Breakfast was... More

Super value and super food. the hotel is only 3 star as the bedrooms are a bit dated but the food and attention to detail are closer to 5 star. this family run hotel is a gem and i would highly recommend it. i am not mentioning the incredible location as everyone else has lboured on it.
