I have been travelling to this resort for years and it remains a very special place for me and my family. Over the past years the hotel has taken many changes and the resort villas have been hugely upgraded. Unfortunately the hotel however lacks the service and quality to match all the upgrades. The potential here is huge, views are... More

After such a wonderful visit the year before, we just had to come back with our 2 little boys to this child friendly hotel set above the most beautiful beach in Ireland.

We had a lovely weeks holiday in the adjoining apartments of the hotel , it was our first family holiday with our 7 month old son and the staff were very accommodating. The apartment itself was very nice - plenty of room for the three of us and had all the amenities that you need with a young child such... More

The hotel seems to be the only place around and in a most beautiful, nay..... stunning setting with so many options for walking , leisure and just taking it easy.Maybe also by being the only place around things are allowed to slide somewhat in terms of decoration, decor, furnishings and care/maintainance of the site ,both inside and out. On entering... More

Positives: Prime location, friendly staff, hearty breakfast, free WiFi in reception. Negatives: List discussed with manager. Conclusion: With some attention to detail, this could be a great hotel

Slow, largely unfriendly service (particularly the waitresses). Too bad the hotel is the only option in Barley Cove -- the only reason I keep coming back is the location!
