"The Blarney Hotel exceeded my expectations. The hotel itself is beautiful and right beside Blarney Castle which was the main purpose of our visit. I was unwell at the time of visit and the front desk receptionist was very helpful with advice for a dr in the area and also offered to make some hot water with lemon and honey which I gratefully took her up on! The genuine service and care was lovely. The breakfast was fantastic! After traveling for almost 3 weeks and have several subpar hotel breakfasts this one really was amazing! We did eat at Christy's Grill which was next door, which was only OK, but location was admittedly convenient. Would have loved to stay longer, would definitely recommend. "

"I could rest in nature. Such a beautiful place to go. There is a walking trail right in front of the hotel restaurant. My family walked before and after each meal."

"My wife and I stayed in the hotel during the St Patrick's day celebrations and the town was filled with local families and numerous visitors from around the world. The hotel was very busy and we used the restaurant and bar and it was good to see so many people and families having a good time. The food was lovely and they served a great pint of Guinness. I was very impressed with all the staff we came into contact with. Very friendly, very professional and we'll certainly be back again. "

"We stayed at The River Lee Hotel in County Cork this past weekend, and I can confidently say it was a fantastic experience easily a 5 out of 5. From the moment we arrived, everything felt smooth and well thought out. We parked in the secure underground car park and were checked in promptly. The location of the hotel is excellent. It’s very central — just a short 13-minute walk to the iconic English Market and Cork City Centre, which made exploring the city really easy. Great food spots close by, e.g Proby’s Kitchen. Our room was modern, spacious, and spotless, with a lovely view overlooking the River Lee. The shower was powerful, hot, and clean, no complaints at all. We dined at the hotel restaurant, and I have to say, the food and service were exceptional. The three-course meal we had was delicious and great value for money. The waitstaff were attentive without being intrusive, and the whole dining experience felt relaxed and enjoyable. One moment that really stood out to me was the hospitality of Tim at the front desk. Early on Sunday morning, as I was watching the Formula One before any of the breakfast services were open, Tim very kindly afforded me complimentary pastries and tea. It’s small gestures like that which turn a good hotel stay into a memorable one. His warm and thoughtful service left a lasting impression, thank you Tim. I really appreciate your generosity and hospitality. It was good to get to know you."
