Independent hotels in Garinish, County Cork

"My wife and I stayed for 7 days. 10/10- would recommend to a friend- will be back! Our hosts, Trish & Chris, were absolutely stellar. They are both kind, friendly, knowledgeable, salt of the Earth people, and excellent cooks! The breakfasts were customized to our needs and desires and were scrumptious! The setting is divine- so quiet, surrounded by nature, and truly beautiful. Our room was spacious and comfortable. There was, however, no in-room mini fridge! Having travelled extensively across 5 continents, this was the first time I had experienced this omission in a hotel or B&B. We bought a cooler in town, and ice to keep our drinks cold. The beds are quite new. They are very firm, which is ideal for back-and-tummy sleepers. If you are a side sleeper, you may want to order a memory foam mattress topper Amazon delivery in advance, or be creative with pillows to ensure proper spinal alignment. Or just plan for an extra 10 minutes in your morning routine to do some yoga and stretching. Also, be aware that not all rooms have a bath tub, so if you are the type of person who likes a nice soak in a warm tub after a long day of flying/driving, be sure to request a room with a bathtub in advance. Our shower was lovely though and the water pressure is good and strong. In Ireland and the UK, it is unusual for lodgings to supply facecloths (aka flannels). Pack your own, or you can pick one up at a shop in town. Sneem has many shops and several dining options. Kerry is stunning! Do go!"

"The area was gorgeous! The pictures don’t do it justice. I highly recommend this place especially if you are looking for beautiful scenery. Jonathan was very friendly and gave us excellent places to see and/or eat at."

"Great place to stay if you are playing Waterville GC"

"Beautiful home"

"We enjoyed an extended stay at Pallas Lodge. It’s in a peaceful location. As hosts, Pat and Kay were responsive and helpful. The gardens surrounding the home are beautifully designed and looked after with care. Views the water and the mountains from the property are stunning. The location afforded day trips to Allihies, Eyeries, Castletownbere, and the entire Beara Peninsula. We highly recommend Pallas Lodge. "

"Lovely property and very helpful hist "

"We only stayed overnight but it was a relaxing spot for us. The hotel was clean and comfortable. Shout out to Red! "

"We’ve been returning to Seal Rock Cottage for three consecutive years and recently stayed 8 nights in May. When you find a place that checks all the boxes, it’s a very easy decision. The home’s location, while remote, affords the most spectacular views of Kenmare Bay and the Beara Peninsula. It is a perfect location for day excursions to The Ring of Kerry, the Beara Peninsula, Kenmare, Killarney, Glengarriff and Garinish Island, Bantry, the Healy Pass, and Parknasilla for rounds of golf. The home is just beautifully decorated, always spotless, incredibly comfortable beds, has a wonderful kitchen with great appliances, and a well stocked kitchen. It had everything that we needed to cook many meals. We were so fortunate to have had spectacular weather with sunny skies, warm days and cool nights. It was ideal for sitting outside by the water, sipping on drinks and having fires in the stone fireplace inside in the evenings. Thank you Jane and Michael for sharing your incredible home with us all to enjoy. "

"The restaurant was closed on our night there. We were disappointed as we were looking forward to homemade noodles. We found a restaurant near by and enjoyed the boardwalk. Few places that you can walk the water edge. Very quiet and a great stop. Breakfast was magnificent. "
