Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Stayed at Hanora’s cottage recently with a group of friends and I can only say fabulous. We had 4 rooms, one nicer than the other. Our room was in fact nicer than some 5 star hotel rooms. Huge bed, so comfy, fab decor & lovely bathroom with jacuzzi bath. Dinner & breakfast were both superb with a large choice. Mary the owner was a delight to chat, very entertaining & made sure everyone was happy, checking with all customers both at breakfast & dinner. Can’t recommend this place highly enough. It really is in the country & about 4 km from the nearest little village of Ballymacarbery, so beware of that ! Not the place to go if you want nightlife 🤪

The owner and the staff of the cottage are so welcoming and professional. You feel at home as soon as you step in for the first time. Also, they have an excellent breakfast with a good variety of different options. Also, I would suggest having dinner at Hanora's Cottage, the great chefs and waiters truly elevated the entire meal into a memorable culinary adventure.

The hospitality is second to none and a credit to all the team. The weather did not allow for much walking in the scenic Comeraghs so we enjoyed a visit to the town of Clonmel. Dinner was perfect with fresh local produce and the legendary breakfast lived up to its reputation. Home made breads and preserves are the best.

First up: A lovely welcome of tea & scones as our room wasn't ready. ( We were early ) . Sitting in a beautifully comfortable parlor room, bright and sunny - as we were the lucky recipients of Historic Glorious Weather :-) The first room shown us was just up the stairs, and much smaller than expected. We closed the door. Oh well. A few moments later he returned and asked if we'd like to see another possibility ? A very spacious corner room into which we happily moved. The food is excellent - spoilt for choice at Breakfast and the Dinner Menu is really good. There were trails just a mile or so up the road and great hikes all around the area. Staff is hard-working and aims to please. You can't do better than to book a few nights here !

What a delightful sanctuary! I highly recommend including this gem to you Ireland tour. We went through My Ireland Tours and stayed in a handful of places, all wonderful, but this place was my favorite. The picturesque countryside with a sweet babbling brook immediately made me feel at peace. The warm and welcoming owner spent time chatting with us and sharing stories. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The gourmet food was top notch! I had the seafood chowder which was loaded with seafood, the salmon dish which was plentiful and cooked to perfection, and the toffee pudding for dessert which melted in my mouth! This is a must stay during you My Ireland Tour!

Stunning location, so peaceful completely switched off. The food was fabulous dinner was excellent and breakfast was the best I've ever had away, great selection, everything homemade - all the breads and ice creams. Cannot rate it highly enough. Spotlessly clean, comfortable beds, friendly staff. Well worth a visit, I will be returning. Jacuzzi baths in each room.

Most relaxing environment we've been in for a long long time. The rooms were very good, jacuzzi in room great, especially after a beautiful walk. The Food was excellent, breakfast super, and free to bring some food with you for your walk. The waiting staff were absolutely excellent. Highly recommend a visit.

This is a very special place for an overnight stop or a holiday in the area. I would describe it as a traditional hotel in lovely grounds, with a feminine touch as there are many ladies around including in the kitchen. They use local food markets/suppliers for their menus. We very much enjoyed our dinner and our room with a view of the bridge but the best was to come the following morning. We were asked at what time we would like breakfast..and expected to appear at the allocated time. This is spectacular, I have never seen such beautifully cooked fruit for years.. something my grandmother would do. Mary will sit at the chair and you will hand your bowl to be served by Mary. Delightful ..
