Breakfast and pub food earn frequent compliments, though dinner service and availability can be inconsistent. It works well as a base for exploring West Cork and the Beara/Kerry routes and is a short drive to Bantry, but being roadside and outside town means some traffic noise and the need to drive for meals or activities. Best for travelers seeking a convivial pub stay, accepting trade-offs in polish and consistency.

It ist a lovely little bed and breakfast place near Bantry. The view of the Atlantic is astonishing. The breakfast offers a variety on cold Options but one can also order Something warm like a full Irish breakfast or scrambled eggs. The Pub that is situated below the rooms is cozy and also the perfekt place for a pint or two. The staff was always nice to us and we had a good laugh with the Ladys at the bar.

The rooms were not cleaned every day. The door to the balcony did not lock and was accessible from other rooms. The check in was at the bar downstairs and it took about 5 minutes to figure out where to check in. The parking lot was small and always filled so parking was very difficult at times. Would not recommend staying here. It does not seem as if the owners care about the hotel section at all

Very friendly lady checked us in, stairs to rooms filthy, adequate room, bathroom was not clean, mould around bath, had to ask for cups etc for room. We had a balcony room, very dirty, lots of cigarette butts. Breakfast adequate, had to take sugar, milk from other table. Beautiful site, could be a lovely place, certainly not a €120 room, more €60 to €80

When I arrived, I had to go into the bar to find a staff person to check me in. The young woman was friendly and asked me to sign in to a spiral notebook. She showed me to my room and then returned to the bar. The hotel itself was pretty rundown. The carpet was filthy, especially on the stairs. The hallway had an unpleasant odor that smelled like vomit. In our room we discovered a crib which we didn't need. The room was dated but the bedding appeared clean. I needed some additional assistance for a personal matter, from the attendant, and she did go above and beyond to help me out which I appreciated immensely. There is a complimentary full-service breakfast served in the morning which was a nice amenity. There was only one staff member there doing it all. He was waiting the tables, cooking the food and managing any check-outs. I had to wait from him to finish waiting tables to pay my bill. There really isn't a front desk, so I had to follow him into the bar to settle my tab. Overall it was a safe place with hard working staff. The hotel was somewhat rundown, outdated and dirty. I wouldn't stay here again.

Mein Zimmer war extrem schmutzig. In den Staub, der z.B. auf einer Stuhlstrebe lag habe ich mit dem Finger PIG reingeschrieben. Mal schauen ob sie es merken. Das Waschbecken hängt frei in der Luft und wird nur noch von den Leitungen gehalten. Das Zimmer war direkt über der Küche. Die Dunstabzugshaube war ständig zu hören (ohne Oropax kein Schlafen möglich) außerdem stank das ganze Zimmer nach Fritierfett. Zum Frühstück musste man Brot (Toast) extra bestellen. Der einzige Lichtblick war eine Bedienung, die sogar Deutsch konnte und z.B. das Durcheinander der Buchung ( die einzige die sich mit dem PC auskannte war nicht da) in Ordnung brachte. Und das Ganze für 120 Euro die Nacht für 1 Person. In Deutschland wäre noch nicht einmal 1Stern dafür zu bekommen

El entorno es precioso, y el personal muy amable y servicial. El desayuno no está mal, pero el hostal deja bastante que desear. Necesitaría renovarse. La moqueta está muy sucia, la habitación olía mal, en las sábanas había 3 pelos, aunque parecían limpias, puede que se le cayesen a la persona que hizo la cama. Los muebles y el baño antiguos y podrían estar más limpios. La cama y almohadas eran cómodos. El jabón y papel higiénico escasos, pero pedimos más y nos dieron.

La moquette de la chambre est sale également, les draps et les serviettes sont tachés, la propeté du service café thé laisse à désirer. La literie est inconfortable au possible, on sent tous les ressors du matelas du grand lit. Sans surprise en étant au bord de la route, on entend chaque voiture et camion qui passe. Malheureusement on entend aussi ses voisins et en l'occurrence le nôtre a ronflé toute la nuit. Le petit déjeuner irlandais inclus est copieux. Certes le prix

This place looks and feels like it has not been updated in over a decade. While the restaurant staff were friendly and the food was good, there was a distinct lack of organization to our check in and check out. We paid upon check-in. Definitely falsely advertised as a quality hotel. This is a restaurant /bar with rooms immediately upstairs. Filthy carpets, sticky doors and terrible smells. The knob on the shower broke off in my hand and just dribbled. There was so much built up dust or mould in the room that I had to use my rescue inhaler for an asthma attack. Despite the place having overnight guests, the bar was booked for an 18th birthday party with a DJ that was so loud, we could hear the lyrics clearly upstairs, and it did not stop until 1AM. There was no warning that this would happen, nor opportunity to change our booking when we arrived. It's been 24 hrs since I messaged the property and no reply. I don't understand how this place is allowed to call itself a hotel.

Que dire, ... la photo donne envie mais lorsqu'on arrive on se rend vite compte que certains savent jouer sur les photos. L'hébergement est le long de la route. L'accueil se fait dans la salle de bar/restauration vraiment bruyante. Mais le pire c'est que cette salle a été louée pour la nuit pour une fête d'anniversaire, avec les chambres au dessus, et un dj jusqu' à plus de 2h du matin, c'est inadmissible. Bon pour ceux qui sont de passage pourquoi pas, mais je ne recommande pas autrement. Sinon la nouriture est correcte. les lit moyennement confortables.

Kind of run down, carpets kind of dirty, beds were clean, staff were good, there was a nice view of the bay on one side, but the road was right on the other side with some loud traffic. It was sufficient for our needs for arriving late and just needing a place to sleep and breakfast was hot food made to order and cold options, but overall I'm not sure I'd recommend it to anyone except for one night stopover.

After we demonstrated our receipt, wow, what a surprise - “we cannot find the key deem the second room”… we got the noisiest room, looking at the crossroad. In the morning, during check out two ladies and their assistant were not able to make the credit card machine functioning during 40 minutes

Check in at 6pm was difficult and despite 2 emails to the Ouvane, we received no reply and had to take a chance on being able to arrive earlier; when I raised this on arrival the reply was a grunt. The room was very cold and no one came back on my request for some heat. Zero privacy was provided by the huge windows facing the car park and the main road without even net curtains. Breakfast was served on the basis of ‘do you want food?’ there was no menu, vegan or vegetarian options (let alone gluten/ dairy free) and continental breakfast was cornflakes (no sign of a croissant or scone). The style of service at breakfast with bowls of minimal choice of edibles half covered with cling film and no milk on the tables left a lot to be desired and as for the warm hospitality and welcome Ireland is famous for; it simply wasn’t there, rather their model was based on Fawlty Towers. For €180 for one night it was very overpriced.

The girl who checked us in told me that Expedia would refund me in a few days as that payment was taken as a security deposit so that if we didn’t turn up the property wouldn’t lose out. I found this method very strange and inconvenient. Currently awaiting refund

I stayed as I was on business in the area. It was a really relaxing stay. The food was lovely and the atmosphere at the bar was great. The staff were more than helpful. I will definitely stay again.

Location
Scenic waterfront setting handy for exploring West Cork and the Beara/Kerry routes and within a short drive of Bantry. Being roadside and outside town brings some traffic noise and the need to drive for services.

This is a convenient hotel directly off the road in. It was the least expensive accommodations available and the best part of the stay was our view. I would only book if I was on a tight budget or it was our only option. The rooms were dated and the check-in at the pub was not clearly stated leaving us to do a bit of searching for that.

Excellent location, very good Irish breakfast. Access stairs to bedrooms dark and narrow. Shower, toilet and sink clean but nowhere to hang or place anything. Plenty of towels, shampoos and soaps. Pleasant and welcoming owner. Expensive for the facilities provided.

Kind of run down, carpets kind of dirty, beds were clean, staff were good, there was a nice view of the bay on one side, but the road was right on the other side with some loud traffic. It was sufficient for our needs for arriving late and just needing a place to sleep and breakfast was hot food made to order and cold options, but overall I'm not sure I'd recommend it to anyone except for one night stopover.

Für den Preis sind wir schon in deutlich besseren Unterkünften geblieben auf unserer Rundreise. Doppelbett ist sehr klein (120cm?), gebucht haben wir für 2 Erwachsene Kind. Lt. Expedia hätten wir ein größeres Zimmer bekommen sollen. Angaben auf Expedia waren falsch: es gibt zwar ein Restaurant, das hatte aber nicht offen. Somit gab es kein Abendessen für uns.

Wasn't our best stay... nice water view but the building and rooms need a refresh and good cleaning. Noices from the road and parties. Food and breakfast are ok.

Det tog lang tid at tjekke ind p.g.a. at de havde smidt nøglen til værelset væk. De gav os til sidst et andet værelse. Vi ventede 1 time og 15 min på morgenmad, før vi opgav og fandt et andet sted at spise. Når vi trak ud i toilettet, lød det som om rørene var ved at sprænge, og vi kunne i løbet af natten høre når andre var på toilettet. Desuden lugtede der meget terpentin agtigt.

Booked 1 night stay here during our trip. Money for good value! This is an excellent stay when you are on the budget and looking an easy going vibe (not expecting luxury nor modern setting), appreciate absolutely hearty delightful breakfast, lovely riverside atmosphere and a bit of a fun local pub culture downstairs! We reserved online but paid our stay upon checking in. The staff are attentive and professional who showed us into our room making sure we were settled. The room was clean and spacious with really comfortable beds, a private bathroom and good shower. There's plenty parking space and stunning views to the river with swans and other birds on the water front. We were absolutely blown away by delicious breakfast experience which I highly recommend to enjoy and I take the owner of the Inn was serving us himself. We enjoyed some lovely chats with him just before leaving and got really interesting stories and tips on a scenic drives on the area. Thank you for a lovely stay!
