Amazing family owned hotel I stayed for three nights in September as a woman on her own I found it very safe and comfortable, the gardens were incredible and it was lovely to take a walk after breakfast. The breakfast was included and it was amazing using freshly sourced ingredients from the area. Over all everything was perfect, can’t recommend this Hotel enough.

Wonderful Hotel!

Amazing! Our stay was perfect from check in, to complimentary drinks, to a clean & comfortable room, to a delicious full breakfast, to the wonderful garden tour. Everyone was genuinely pleasant, kind, & courteous. So far, this was our favorite hotel on our trip to Ireland. Thank you!

Wonderful stay at Fernhill Hotel

My sister and I have just spent 2 most enjoyable 2 nights at the Fernhill Hotel in Clonakilty. Everything was amazing from the warm welcome at Reception, the comfortable bedroom and exceptional food. The breakfast was fabulous and dinner most enjoyable. The hotel is lovely but the staff are fabulous - everyone was so pleasant and helpful and cheerful. Enormous thank you to you all

What a beautiful area!!! Lovely hotel and beautiful grounds. Would make an exceptional venue for weddings, it looks magical for that. Staff was friendly upon arrival. Evening service staff in restaurant need more experience, although they were very friendly. Breakfast was very nice and filling with local offerings. Overall a wonderful stay!
