Rare find - excellent stay
Regularly do business near Kilworth & this hotel was recommended to us. We have eaten on previous visits but this was first time staying overnight. Excellent hotel, friendly staff, huge comfortable room, dined in restaurant & super breakfast. This is obviously a very busy & well used hotel as there were signs of wear & tear, but it is spotlessly clean & so cosy. We just wish we had had more time to make use of the leisure & spa facilities, & room to eat the fabulous looking in-house bakery goods - next time!!! It is rare to find such a homely hotel of this size, & atmosphere which is severely lacking in most hotels nowadays! Would thoroughly recommend & will definitely stay on our next trip. Keep doing what you’re doing 👌

Loved the hotel and staff! We were supposed to stay for 2 nights but plans with others changed. We were so disappointed we could not stay the 2nd night.😔 Of the 9 hotels we stayed at during our 3 weeks in Ireland/Northern Ireland the Horse & Jockey Hotel was our favorite!
