Midleton hotels

Pros: the owners had been brilliant, beside of welcoming you warmhearted they gave you excellent advice what to and go to, to properly unwind from the busy city life. diffidently can recommend to stay here :)

Pros: This was one of the nicest Places I have stayed in. The owners were so nice and made us feel very at home. The decor is so quaint and stylish. Our bed was extremely comfortable. The breakfast was amazing and they had beautiful homemade scones fresh out of the oven. I couldn't recommend this guesthouse more... It's is nicer than most hotels I've stayed in with extra attention to the small details. I will most definitely return. They truly deserve this review.

Pros: Lovely B&B. Friendly, owners who can’t do enough for you. Lovely breakfast and one of the best showers I’ve ever had!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Beautiful room, comfortable bed and a great breakfast including the host's home made blackberry jam.

Pros: Delicious, partly organic breakfast - omelet wlth feta and fresh herbs was so good.

Pros: Lovely host and beautiful home. Felt like we were in France. Flowers picked each morning and replaced in vase

Cons: Extra pillows needed

Pros: Alberta and Alta are supreme hosts with a beautiful breakfast of what has been our best food in Ireland - home made scones and preserves, and Alta does a great omelette. Local advise on where to go is excellent too. Easy, free parking outside was also a nice change. Our room was very pleasantly decorated, not huge, but definitely very comfortable and more than adequate. There is a lovely sitting room to use as well. Really enjoyed our stay. Great to be near Cork and able to easily access what the area has to offer.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Hosts were very frindly and attentive. Great breakfast.

Cons: Room was a little dusty.

Pros: The house was built in 1791 and is lovely. It's located in a peaceful country setting surrounded by beautiful gardens. The hosts are wonderful and breakfast was excellent.

Pros: Great surroundings and lovely property Enjoyed the hospitality of the hosts and they were very helpful Thanks very much Chris and Claire

Cons: All good

Pros: When we imagined what it would be like in an Irish B&B, it was it. Carrol and Chris, the owners, made our stay unforgattable: Warm welcoming and over-the-top help with whatever we needed, starting with useful travelling tips and on with interesting stories about themselves and Irish history and culture. The breakfast was the best, too, with original cookings by Chris. My partner and I have been to over 40 B&B's in the past 7 years, and this one beats them all. A MUST VISIT if you visit the Cork area.

Cons: That we couldnt book more nights - the stay was PERFECT!

Pros: Excellent hosts, beautiful house, superb breakfast - I felt at home.

Cons: If you want a TV in your room, you'll be disappointed. If like me you prefer to sit in the lounge (with tea and cakes) then you'll be very happy

Pros: Clare and Christopher were wonderful hosts interested only in pleasing us and our comfort. We loved their beautiful old house and property. The breakfast was top notch and we enjoyed interaction with other guests at their conversation inducing breakfast table.

Cons: My elderly cousin slipped and fell trying to get out of the tub where she had taken a shower. Not their fault. We probably should have asked for a room with a shower stall. Nevertheless, it was scary.

Pros: Extraordinary property with a magnificent house of character, tastefully decorated in an authentic style by its owners. Located in the countryside midway between the coast and Cork, an ideal location for visiting the area. Room and bedding very comfortable and cozy. Bathroom very well equipped. Exceptional breakfast with fresh and homemade products. The owners are charming and attentive to their guests needs.

Pros: Good old fashioned comfort. A good contrast to the characterless modern hotels and with the added benefit of friendly knowledgeable hosts.

Cons: Nothing worth mentioning

Pros: What an oasis of comfort and style! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Willowhill, from the warm and friendly welcome to helpful restaurant suggestions, our hosts were wonderful and the house and surrounding gardens truly spectacular.

Cons: I wished we could have stayed longer!

Pros: We absolutely loved everything – the warm welcome, the cupof tea and biscuits by the fire on arrival. The helpfulness of our hosts, who made us feel the be were treasured guests rather than clients. The house is in perfect taste and the grounds are simply beautiful. Breakfast cooked by fear an ti, who has a gift for making sped-ciao strawberry muesli.

Cons: We loved absolutely everything and will go back at the first opportunity.

Pros: Everything from the bed to the breakfast was great. Willie is a great host.

Pros: Willie was very welcoming and helpful with local info. The location was good, and I had a very comfortable room and a great breakfast.

Pros: Close to Jameson and right off the main road in Midleton. Willy was a great host! Knows the area well and gave great dinner suggestions! Finans was lovely since it also had bar food which is all we needed

Cons: No hairdryer in room. Probably should have asked.

Pros: Great comforts and very helpful staff

Cons: Problem allocating a room when we arrived but ultimately were well accommodated

Pros: Old world charm and very polite staff

Pros: • The welcome at check-in • The cleanliness • The spacious bathroom, fabulous bath tub and shower. The toiletries! • The food! The BEST burger I ever ate in my life! Everything exceeded my expectations!

Cons: I really can't fault anything. This was the most luxurious, comfortable, amazing experience I have ever had!

Cons: Hotel was amazing. Only disappointment was room service. Ordered the rocket salad from the night owl menu which was served without the balsamic dressing. Also had the ice cream which was over priced for the one scoop that was served.

Pros: Facilities

Cons: The hotel is hard to find. Even the GPS struggled to get us there. Old world atmosphere, with some unusual and welcome additions; a bottle of whisky at the reception desk to parch the thirst and ease the frustration of locating the place. Another fun touch, a putter and play practice green in the room. It is a nice place but would I stay there again? probably not. It's the little things that matter in a hotel and the dinning reception left us cold. We made dinner reservations and showed up on time, appropriately dressed, only to be kept waiting while others streamed by, were welcomed, and seated. Eventually,We were placed in a back room at what must have been the worst table in the place, center stage, traffic area in a room surrounded by cozy booths. The Food and service excellent, but the second rate treatment left a bad taste. So we move on, to a better experience somewhere else.

Pros: Room was very tired and lacking in so many comfort points. The shower was very poor as was the water from the taps. Dreadful machine noise from outside all day until 11pm at night, started again early in the morning. The television was nearly unwatchable. No hooks in bathroom or bedroom for convenience. Bed very comfy and all very clean.

Cons: The dining room for breakfast was stiflingly hot and airless. The decor in bedroom and bathroom in room 331 needs a good upgrade.

Pros: Staff, Bar, Breakfast, Spa and Service all excellent.

Cons: The TV reception wasn't great, and the shower doors a little short.

Pros: The rooms were beautiful, clean, and spacious. We arrived early, got a room quickly, and even were upgraded to a suite just like that. The staff treated us like queens and kings, making us feel like part of their family. Everyone was cheerful and helpful during our stay, and the bartenders were eager to talk about local places to see and shop at. A highlight indeed for our Ireland trip.

Pros: Everything

Pros: Beautiful home with lovely hosts so friendly and welcoming with exceptional food.

Pros: The room was cosy Anna and paddy made us feel very welcome overall very enjoyable stay the homemade scones and bread were a bonus

Pros: Excellent all round lovely people

Pros: It was like coming home after a long week. I loved it.

Pros: Location was beautiful

Pros: Excellent breakfast - fruit salad, fresh juice, scones, and then a hot meal. They even had few vegetarian options which was an absolute delight. Excellent host - The hosts were very friendly, and responded to queries at the earliest. They took utmost importance to ensure we felt at home ! The room was also very nice with all amenities needed.

Cons: We were visting Cobh and found the home slightly away from there. It took us 30 mins drive one way to reach Cobh - so if Cobh is your destination, look out for some place closer to it.

Pros: Great place to stay, rooms very clean, breakfast was fantastic

Pros: The breakfast was good.

Cons: When I arrived, the owner claimed he did not receive the fax advising of my reservation for a double room. He first sent me to a twin room which had little space. After complaining, he moved me to a room with two twin beds and said he would push them together. He did not do that. Overall I was unimpressed with the accommodations.

Pros: Loved the location and view. I enjoyed the seating on each floor. Gave us a chance to sit and visit while enjoying the gorgeous view of the river.

Cons: Would love a quick cafe for coffee in the morning when we didn't want a full breakfast.

Pros: Great food, location, amenities. Comfy beds. Very clean bathroom and bedroom. Spacious room. Efficient staff.

Cons: Nothing was bad

Pros: Good location

Cons: Breakfast not included

Pros: Location to the city also of course the hotel its self and we loved the triple room

Pros: Location, lovely friendly helpful employees.

Cons: Breakfast was a little chaotic but the food was excellent .

Pros: Nice clean room, good location and nice staff.

Pros: I really enjoyed our stay. The hotel was so lovely and the room was amazing and the grounds around the hotel were amazing

Cons: The breakfast could have been better, I would have preferred a more buffet-style than the way it was.

Pros: The grounds were so peaceful. The bed was comfortable. Staff were very friendly and polite.

Cons: The room was really cold. Heating was extremly complicated and we had to just leave it. When we sat to breakfast on Sunday morning we quickly noticed a hair in our butter. The server was lovely. Changed this straight away and apologised. When we went to pay there was a mix up because someone signed their lunch to our room. The knob of the shower fell of when I tried to turn it on also.

Pros: Breakfast was excellent, love an a la carte breakfast menu especially in 5 star, not all 5 stars have this Staff were really nice, 5 star experience without the stuffiness

Cons: No complaints for the hotel

Pros: Lovely location, lots of space etc big bedroom.

Cons: Public areas Decor was really random, as if furnished from a car boot sale. Huge ugly chairs in random positions in corridors- BedRooms were good, clean, our room had wonky bedside lamp, and lacked the finesse of a 5* hotel.

Pros: The reception staff were very polite, professional and helpful. The food in Franchini's was lovely and the room was lovely and on par with other 5 star hotels.

Cons: The service at breakfast was very slow. People who arrived after us were served before us and there was a 15min wait before anyone took our order and a 20min wait then for the food.

Pros: Not much but the grounds were nice but limited, especially in wet weather

Cons: It looks incredible on the listing but it’s very far from being a five star hotel. The design is a little jumbled, the furnishings tatty, everything reeks of air freshener, the atmosphere isn’t great, the background music is terrible, the service is mediocre and the spa low par. The walls of our room were paper thin and we could hear every single word of everyone who walked by, we complained and after two hours and a lot of chasing up on our complaint, we got moved to a self catering lodge that obviously hadn’t been used in a while. It was a large space with very little furniture so felt vacuous and cold. There was no hot water or heating until we located the boiler ourselves and switched it on, no milk or coffee, the shower head had broken off and the bath panel was all cracked and broken scratching our legs. The WiFi didn’t reach the lodge and the tv reception was bad and kept cutting out. As for breakfast, this was pretty poor. We were invited to eat from the toasts and cereals etc but anything hot was to be an extra €20 each on top of our b&b price. Overall a very disappointing weekend away. I don’t recommend this place and we won’t be going back.

Pros: Lovely bar downstairs. All the staff were great. Superb breakfast.

Cons: Room was very warm. Uncomfortable bed. No windows in room, just skylights.

Pros: lovely breakfast and friendly bar man.

Cons: nothing.

Pros: Super location, friendly atmosphere

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very enjoyable stay.Excellent breakfast and very welcoming atmosphere.

Pros: Comfortable spacious room, excellent food and exceptionally kind staff. We will return!

Cons: All good ...

Pros: The location was central, but a problem with parking, we parked up a hill , 3 minute walk but it was raining, , the staff were really friendly, the breakfast was brilliant, properly cooked , big variety , very tasty

Cons: Parking, but that was no fault of the tavern , matter of location , street parking and streets are narrow

Pros: How comfortable our hosts made us. They were a joy to chat with and were there to help us with plans or maps. Breakfast was wonderful, simple but good. We truly enjoyed our stay. And it is close to the train and bus station.

Cons: There truly wasn't anything I didn't like.

Pros: John and Lorraine are most gracious hosts. Large comfortable room. Although an old building the room was modernised with every comfort. First class bedding and towels. Amazing breakfasts made by Lorraine. Our hosts are also very knowledgeable about what to see and do in Cork and surrounds. Everything within walking distance.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great breakfast, my daughter loved the porridge and the boiled eggs were perfect. Hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Pros: Everything was all right. Great place, near to city center. Very tasty breakfast. Friendly helpful and kind staff- Lorraine and John. Thank you very much.

Pros: John and Lorraine were outstanding hosts! They were accommodating with our early check in, made a great breakfast every morning, kept our room clean and were great fun to talk to! The location was fantastic, just a 15 minute walk to anywhere in Cork City center and across the street from the train station and close to the bus station for easy day trips.

Cons: The only thing I can think of is that the room was a tiny bit loud being on the street, but nothing some ear plugs didn't fix.

Pros: Liked that they had all the same amenities as an expensive hotel. Fluffy towels, wonderful bedding, hair dryer, face clothes (some hotels don't provide these) ironing board, safe, fridge, little shampoo bottles, etc. But paid half the money!

Cons: We didn't think ahead about having luggage to lug up and then down the stairs. Managed though. Also, our roon would have been a bit small with all our bags...but we were in the family room which had a second bedroom with two beds we could put our bags on...so worked out fine. Was still 1/2 the price of a hotel.

Pros: Lorraine and John were lovely. Gave good advice about where to go and what to see. The place was extremely clean and really central so we could walk to a lot of places. The places we couldn’t walk to we were right by the train station so we could jump on a train.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Enjoyed breakfast a irish breakfast , BED Excellent shower excellent

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The staff are outstanding - extremely pleasant and helpful-5 star treatment The restaurant lighting adds great atmosphere to a lovely room with stunning views over the city

Cons: The fact that the white wine was not chilled either by glass or bottle -the suggestion of putting ice in to cool it seemed rather unusual !!

Pros: The terrace is lovely!! Jolee who checked us in was so kind and friendly! Made a lovely start to our stay

Cons: The rooms are really dark and the food is average.

Pros: Comfortable furnishings, spotlessly clean, warm, spacious and well equipped. Checkin and porter staff very kind and helpful. Loved it.

Pros: Space in apartments. Beautiful decor.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The breakfast was first class, but should be included in the expensive room rate.

Cons: Location and signage of lifts.

Pros: recently refurbished modern hotel, good size room with huge bed, Beautiful views over the city and garden. Reception staff were brilliant. We found it convenient to leave the car at hotel and walk to city centre, than took taxi back

Cons: expected a little more from the leisure center for a 4star, but everything was clean and in good order. the bright color scheme throughout the hotel is sometimes hit and miss, its a fine line between modern-art and cheep and cheerful. it should be balanced with elegance in some areas.

Pros: Room was clean

Cons: Room too small, hotel hard to locate, quite a hilly walk to city, need reservation to eat there.

Pros: The pool and the bed and the breakfast.

Cons: We didn't like the coffee and when we ordered a pot we got a very small one. We found some of the staff a little unfriendly.

Pros: The room is spacious and the bed/pillows are very comfortable. The breakfast is very good. It was quite far from the hotel entrance to the reception area. When we drove the hotel, it seems like a forest. It surprised us that there was a golf club in this hotel.

Cons: The staff we provided us check-in service was not professional enough, which made us waiting for a long time. She said she need verify our bank card, while several times later she still didn't find the bank card number. until we expressed our dissatisfaction, she asked a senior staff to help her. This doesn't match a five star hotel. We ordered room service for dinner, the guy sent the dinner to our room is quite professional, but the food taste was just so so. We went to the spa room asking for service, while the lady working there doesn't seems happy to serve the guests.

Pros: Stayed with my daughter as a treat for one night. Found the staff so friendly and nice they made the stay so enjoyable. Bedroom was bright, clean and the bed was so comfortable. Breakfast was lovely with plenty of options to choose from. Grounds were lovely to take a stroll around after breakfast. Hope to stay again

Cons: There was nothing I didn’t like.

Pros: The grounds are phenomenally beautiful!

Pros: The hotel and rooms were very attractive and clean. The restaurant was fine.

Cons: The room was on the warm side and the only bedding was a duvet. We prefer a sheet with a blanket.

Pros: Fantastic. Stayed 7 nights, would go back to Ireland just to stay at this hotel. Rooms were big, comfortable, and clean. Staff was wonderful, especially Manny at the front desk. Went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. Restaurants were good, location was central to everything. Highly recommend !

Pros: The ambience was very relaxing , the breakfast was superb !

Pros: Great large room with all facilities incl wifi. Great breakfast with eggs cooked to order. Great evening meal in restaurant. We are world travelers staying in 3-4 star chain hotels, we wish every hotel was this good! We never heard one plane take off! Stay here. We cancelled a city centre hotel in Cork on arrival because of traffic and limited parking. i.e. No parking! Stay at this hotel ! You will be pleased. Staff are very helpful too!

Pros: Next to airport. Nice, clean room. Helpful staff.

Pros: Lovely hotel right next to long term parking and airport terminal

Pros: Excellent, clean hotel with an extremely convenient location. It was a wonderful value for the price.

Pros: One of the best airport hotels in the country Always a pleasure to stay there. Excellent, friendly staff.

Pros: Location and cleanliness, except for being a smoking room, of the hotel are very good.

Cons: We had to book online at the last minute. Booked 3 rooms for 3 adult family couples. When we got there we realized with the rooms given, no way to tell online, we could get away with 2 rooms as they were big rooms. We asked to change and weren't allowed because of the online booking. Also one day of the rooms assigned was a smoking room that smelled very strongly of cigarettes, again asked to change and weren't allowed to. Rooms were quite pricey as well, the most expensive night on our 2 week vacation was at this hotel. Had breakfast the next morning and one room came with breakfast, no idea why?

Cons: Breakfast staffing levels didn’t match the volume of guests. Slow to seat with queue and staff looked very rushed.

Cons: Great overall. Slow service in lobby area for the lobby menu was only complaint.

Pros: We just stayed here to catch our flight for the next morning to London. The staff were very helpful as to where to obtain gas close by so we could turn our car in that day and they arranged for shuttle to take us to airport early the next morning. They also showed us where to easily catch bus to downtown Cork as we had enough of driving on left side of road. LOL The area is industrial business but so very easy to reach airport. We were glad of the location. It was worth the money. Using the bus to travel to downtown Cork was easy and wonderful not to have to deal with the traffic. Brenda H Broken Arrow OK USA

Pros: Beautiful spacious room with lovely toiletries. Staff very friendly and accomodating. Our breakfast delicious. The whole place is gorgeous. Didn’t use the pool but went for a nosey and it was the nicest pool I have ever seen.

Cons: There is no mirror beside the table to dry hair or straighten hair. The only mirror in the room has no plug near by!!!! For the price of the room this is really something that should have been thought out. Felt the wine in the bar was a bit steep. 7.50 euro for a glass of wine!!!!!

Pros: Nice location near the sea. EV charging unit in car park

Cons: Sliding door needs to be left unlocked to let fresh air into the room

Pros: Lovely big room. Good food. Excellent location.

Pros: The sea views from the room were lovely. Thoroughly enjoyed the Lively Lighthouse bar atmosphere, food and drink. The staff were lovely. It was also nice to relax in the large lounge bar later in the evening.

Cons: One minor negative was the microwaved scrambled egg at breakfast. Although that would not prevent me from booking again.

Pros: The hotel was amazing. The food was even more amazing. The dinner and breakfast were the best that we had on the entire trip. I highly recommend this hotel.

Pros: The sense of calm. The purposeful and yet hugely helpful staff: clearly a very happy team, all of whom worked to make our stay truly wonderful. Thank you.

Pros: Thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Thank you.

Cons: Having dinner.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Outstanding courtesy of staff Warm and familiar atmosphere Only few and well behaved children

Cons: While quality of dinner ingredients was superb throughout, preparation and presentation was perhaps a little too simplistic (but I guess this is the style of cooking this place is known for)

Pros: Beds comfortable.

Cons: No bathrobes or toilet paper in rooms. over charged in payment for dinner.

Pros: Great - overlooking the river Even in the rain

Cons: Cant fault it really

Pros: While the wait staff (excluding the bar staff) were rather helpful, the one working elevator was slow, the spa did not have any openings, and we received a 3am wake up call that we did not authorize. For a luxury hotel, they have some work to do.

Pros: Loved the hot tub and breakfast amazing!!!!!!

Cons: Dinner menu poor. Jaccuzi not working.

Pros: The Kingsley was a great place to settle down In Cork. The staff were professional and took pride in their work. The rooms were nice and clean. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay.

Cons: I didn't mind this actually but the Kingsley is about a 15-20 minute walk to the city center. You could take a cab or walk it. The reason i didn't mind was because it was far enough away that you weren't surrounded by the noise.

Pros: Lovely room. Great staff. Nice breakfast

Cons: Nice restaurant but expensive for the food on offer. Wine was very expensive.

Pros: It had a very relaxed atmosphere and there is nothing the staff wouldn't do for me to make my stay more comfortable

Pros: The place was lovely. The team were very helpful and friendly couldn't do enough for you.

Cons: The fact is was up a hill for walking to & from the city centre.

Pros: Clean and comfortable. Friendly staff, and quick and efficient check-in and check out.

Pros: Breakfast was great. The attention of the staff also. Nice bed and bathroom.

Cons: A little far from the city centre.

Pros: We had a room with 4 single beds for 4 adults, it was very spacious and exactly what we needed! Breakfast was fantastic great selection!

Cons: N/a

Pros: The staff was incredible. I arrived late, was accommodated upon arrival. I wanted to check out later, they were willing to work with me— I even didn’t want to carry my bags around once I checked out and they offered to hold them at the reception desk for me! Breakfast exceeded my expectations. They give you a little menu to choose from PLUS there’s a little buffet bar of meats, cheeses, pastries, juices, and jams. It was perfect and included in the cost already. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I loved that the room key had to be inserted to use the lights— environmental friendly!

Cons: My shower was stuck on a specific temperature so it was a tad too warm for me... the location is also on a steep incline and I’m not a fan of hills. Both no big deals whatsoever, this place was well worth it.

Pros: Everything!!
