I had a nice stay at Glengarriff Park Hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, providing a good night's sleep. While the staff were incredibly helpful, the dining experience was a bit hit or miss, especially breakfast. The location is excellent for exploring the local area. Overall, it offers good value for money, though there is room for improvement in the dining options.

I found the hotel to be a cozy spot with a charming atmosphere right in the heart of Glengarriff. My room was clean and comfortable, though it could use some modernization. The dining experience was a letdown, especially during breakfast where the service was slow and the food fell short of expectations. Parking was convenient, which added to the overall experience, but the lack of adequate dining options was disappointing.

The hotel had a decent room and some friendly moments, but overall, it was overshadowed by noise issues and a lackluster breakfast experience. I encountered rude service upon check-in and felt the dining options were quite limited. It's a spot that has potential, but it didn't quite hit the mark for me this time.
