Excellent restaurant food + friendly pleasant service. One piece of feedback: the bedroom was too hot + kept us awake most of the night. No a/c, and opening the window didn't help. To other guests: advise requesting cooler room if u need it. To the management: lovely place, but that's a gap that shd be fixed IMO. thanks!

We stayed there at the weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We got married in the hotel previously and everyone still says it was the “ best wedding ever”. Neil and Katy run a great operation and it didn’t disappoint. Staff were exceptional and couldn’t do enough for us. Room 6 is recommended. The food is Michelin star quality and excellent wine, whiskey and cocktail selection. The location is magical, serene and peaceful and otherworldly. Looking forward to a return visit already. Many thanks

Really nice stay at the Gougane Barra Hotel during a recent trip through Ireland. Service was wonderful, as was the on site pub. Rooms were clean and comfortable, which is nice considering the age and long history of this hotel. Staff were very friendly and provided an excellent breakfast service on site.

My sister and I had the great fortune of staying at Gougane Barra Hotel with our tour group. What a magical place! The location is absolutely stunning and peaceful. The owners take care to create a memorable experience for the guests from reception to the grounds and the pub. And the food - WOW - the food, some of the best we had in Ireland. Every detail is lovingly considered. Highly recommend!

We ate at the hotel yesterday evening as part of a post wedding dinner and it was a fantastic experience. From arrival to leaving we were so welcomed and the service was exceptional. The food was faultless, choice, presentation and taste all excellent. If you are in the area, a call here is a must to experience a beautiful meal with locally sourced ingredients. Highly recommend.

I can’t say enough things about how charming this little hotel on the water is. The hosts were so hospitable and kind. We did a three course dinner at the hotel and the food was amazing and for the price was a fantastic deal. Rooms were clean and cozy, and I had no trouble with any of the amenities or getting to sleep. You can tell the owners care a lot about representing Cork food and hospitality by sourcing local suppliers. The views outside are picturesque and you really feel like you are tucked away in a special private area of Ireland. We came here on a small group tour and am so pleased we got the chance to stay here and would certainly come back at the next opportunity. I’m already craving the food again!
