There was no specific address in Expedia, so Google maps took us to a residential area about a km from the hotel. Fortunately, the hotel was on the same road, so it was easy to see after driving further.
Once there, the check in was easy and the hotel was very quiet.
The service was good and the bar and restaurant were nice.

Poo in the toilet; shower controls not working; thin matress; room needs a re-hab. Helpful staff; not expensive. Food could be a little more modern.

Nice comfy large pub hotel
Booked this place about an hour before checking in as we needed somewhere to stay. Our check in was promptly dealt with and we made our way to our rooms via the stairs. The lift was out of action but this wasn't a problem as we are both physically fit. Afterwards we had a meal in the traditional and comfortable looking bar/restaurant area. The room was spacious and the heating was already on which is useful at this time of year. The bathroom has signs of wear and tear but everything worked. My room was around the back of the building so was quiet. Those at the front may hear traffic noise but this will largely disappear when the bypass opens.

This hotel could do a bit more to create a welcoming atmosphere, the reception, restaurant, bar and rooms lacked on lighting and comfort but were very clean. Also this hotel was listed as having laundry facilities, one of the main reasons we chose it, it does not.However, the food more than makes up for this, it is excellent and delicious and the staff are friendly and helpful.

Great Value for Solo Travellers
Great value hotel for the time of year. I was travelling alone, so I appreciated only paying a single person rate for the large double room that I had. The staff were friendly and helpful and rooms spotlessly clean. Only issue is the thinnness of walls between rooms, but it woudn't stop me staying here again.

Ideal 3 star hotel to visit west cork
Great hotel to visit the Gaeltacht of west Cork.
Clean and neat, just like 3 star hotels should be. Home baking and some local foods for breakfast were a lovely bonus.
Please note : this is an Irish speaking area, but the locals can chat to you in English if you wish. All good. Sásta!

Stay in Ballyvourney
Stayed two nights in this hotel which is situated on the Cork side of the Cork Kerry border.
The hotel offers great value for money.
My room was spacious and spotlessly clean with comfortable bed and en-suite.
The country side offers many interesting walks.
I enjoyed an evening meal in bar and was well satisfied.
The breakfast each morning was plentiful and set me up for the day.
I would recommend this hotel and have no hesitation in returning again if in the area.
