And when you do stay at Sue Hill’s Heron’s Cove - a B&B to beat all: terrific position, lovely spacious rooms with balconies all but overhanging the sea, walk in power showers, attentive and engaging staff, a serious dining room with an award winning menu, and an intriguing cellar. My wife and I spent a few glorious days here this... More

This was our 3rd visit and it still comes up trumps. A special deal of 1n b&b+1d for €65 per person is fabulous value. The room we had-No 3- was very comfortable,especially the bed,good Wifi,and great view of the cove.The 3 course meal is priced a little less than 18 months ago, It is only 5 or 6 rooms so... More

Sue is wonderful. The staff is great and food is amazing. The cove is lovely as is Goleen and you are near to so much of what the area has to offer. I didn't stay in the rooms, but in a large house up the road, so can't speak to the rooms.

We stayed at Heron's cove for 2 nights last weekend, clean and cosy bedroom with a spectacular view, very friendly welcome and the most wonderful food I have ever had from a B & B. The quality of the food was amazing - Fresh and made to order. It's easy to see why this little gem has won an AA... More

Have spent two glorious nights in beautiful Goleen in this lovely, quaint, cosy and spotlessly clean B&B. Parking is a bit hit and miss but you will always find somewhere. Our room faced right out onto the harbour and the views were spectacular. There was a very well-stocked bathroom and bottled water was also supplied on the tea/coffee tray. There’s... More

We had the pleasure of staying at The Herons Cove for 5 nights, it is such a pretty place, it's got that feeling of "coming home"... the rooms were clean and very comfy, our balcony looking out over the cove I will miss forever more, breakfast was wonderful everyday and dining in the evening was superb. The staff were so... More

Dined in Herons Cove last Thursday and it was really a beautiful meal. I had the Mussels followed by Scallops and my wife had a Seafood Hors D'oeuvres starter followed by Monkfish. It was well presented and beautifully cooked. The Wine Cellar is a feature of the restaurant and you go up and pick your own wine. We drank a... More

We stayed for one night in August and wished we could have stayed longer. However I would have needed to buy clothes in a larger size. As we booked late we did not have a room with a view, instead we had a twin room at the side which was comfortable, clean and quiet. The weather when we arrived was... More

I spent 3 nights at Heron's Cove and it was possibly the best B+B I have stayed in. For a start the location is just perfect- on a small peaceful harbour which our room overlooked, and we shared a lovely balcony with the next room where we sat and watched the tide come in and the resident herons searching for...
