What's not to like?

Nice friendly pub with accommodation. Nice rooms (obviously used, but definitely not tatty or worn out), a proper lounge with a log fire for residents - all in all very cosy. I had one of the best fillet steaks I have ever had for dinner in the bar, and a decent cooked breakfast in the morning. All in all - a very pleasant place that I would definitely call "traditional" as opposed to modern. I would definitely consider staying here next time I am in the area.

I really don’t like to complain, but I was really disappointed with this place, we spent the most time there and never felt comfortable there. There we’re four of us ladies that shared a two double bed room. It was a nice room, but several of the lights didn’t work and they did come and replace the two by the bed, a floor lap also didn’t work and the owner came and asked “if we could live without it”? Which we could, but thought he was rude about it. Then the door knob was loose and hanging, but we could get it to work. Our first night there we went to restaurant on premises, they did have table reserved for us, which was nice, but the lady that was our waitress made us feel Like we were trespassing and wasting her time and short with us. We had two more nights there, but decided not to have another meal there, besides breakfast which a lovely young lady who was just the total Opposite of the owners and bent over backwards to please everyone. We spent 10 days in Ireland and this was our least favorite experience. Everyone else in Town was wonderful, but we would not recommend Ahernes house to anyone. We would recommend anywhere else in Youghal, the town is quite nice and people in town where super friendly.

Very friendly and welcoming staff, and fantastic food. Nothing was too much effort for them. Really recommend. A little on expensive side but worth it to spoil yourself in the Restaurant

Hübsches Hotel mitten in der Stadt

Das Hotel ist mitten in der Stadt und trotzdem sehr ruhig. Es hat wenige Zimmer, die dafür sehr groß sind. Wir waren als vierköpfige Familie in einem Familyroom und hatten Platz zum verschwenden. Das Zimmer ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man so braucht. Wir haben im gleichen Haus im Restaurant zu Abend gegessen und es war superlecker!

Erwartungen übertroffen

Wir (4 Personen) waren auf Rundreise und haben hier einen eintägigen Zwischenstopp eingelegt. Gebucht haben wir ein Familienzimmer. Gewöhnlich verstehen Hotels hierunter ein enges Zimmer mit vier Betten. Vorgefunden haben wir aber eine luxuriöse "Ferienwohnung" mit zwei großen Schlafzimmern. WLAN ist sehr gut und es können sich auch mehrere Geräte gleichzeitig anmelden. Am Abend waren wir im hauseigenen Restaurant. Die Küche ist außerordentlich und steht einem Sternerestaurant nicht nach, nur dass der Preis nur halb so hoch ist. Sehr zu empfehlen ist das Tasting Menue - gibt es allerdings nur zwischen 18-19 Uhr. Reservierung ist empfohlen. Auch das Frühstück war sehr hochwertig.
