We loved our stay at the Walter Raleigh, Jason and staff were very accommodating, especially with an early check in, and complimentary tea and scones while waiting! The rooms were bright and clean with wonderful views of Youghal harbor and bay! Brian greeted us back to the hotel on our second night, where we enjoyed a night cap in the gorgeous bar.

The food was excellent with a wide choice. The bar area was very comfortable and the staff exceptional. Access to the car park was simple with plenty of space.

Comfortable hotel, with wonderful views of the sea from front facing rooms. Traffic can be noisy though. Staff seemed to be scarce - often no-one on reception, or in bar, but those who were on duty were very willing and helpful. We were a large family group, and they went out of their way to keep us together for breakfast and dining - service was good.

Really enjoyed our stay at the Sir Walter Raleigh Hotel. It’s a gorgeous setting and our room looked right out over the water, such a view! Staff were lovely and breakfast was spot on. The room was on the smaller side, and the window could do with replacing as the bottom panel spoiled the view a little, plus we noticed some traffic noise in the mornings. But honestly, those are tiny things compared to how much we loved it here. Would definitely stay again.

We arrived just as it was getting dark (1030 ish) and parking gate was closing & all dinning and pub was also closed. We did not have breakfast there. Our deluxe ocean front room was more of a beach view & the room, though clean, with very comfortable beds, was not as pretty as those advertised. The staff, as with all the staff we encountered in Ireland, were very friendly.
