We mostly enjoyed our three night stay here’s. Restaurant was great! Breakfast was lovely.
Only issue was the BAR QUIZ, it went until after 1 am and was incredibly LOUD! :(
This hotel surprised me with how clean it was. It’s a historic hotel but has been tastefully updated over the years. The views are amazing from many sides of the building. Breakfast was better than expected and the wait staff were friendly. Don’t expect an elevator and you will not be disappointed. One side note, the hotel is accessible from the mainland by a ferry service or from a bridge at Portmagee. If you plan to take the ferry, be mindful of their hours or you will be taking a 25 minute drive around to the Portmagee bridge.
Warm welcome to a tremendous hotel. Restaurant, pub, room, staff, all perfect.
Would highly recommend the hotel and the island to anyone.

The hotel is a great option for boats leaving from the island. The bar is very nice and friendly staff. The breakfast was simply ok. The main issue was that the bed was hard as a rock.
Location was great, nothing in town was open really as we got there late and left early but bar onsite was busy with all the locals so we hung out there.
A long established premises with a diverse range of accommodation. Our room was a little dated but more than sufficed for one night. Breakfast was excellent with great service.
Great place to stay on Valentia Island to explore the region. Staff was outstanding. Breakfast and dinner the one night we ate there were delicious. It was a pleasant experience to stay in a hotel that has been in business for over 150 years.
