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.

    The Boardwalk in Youghal makes a very pleasant walk. It is 1.9 km long, so a walk down and back in 3.8 km, or about 2.4 miles. The boards are nice and springy underfoot, and with the beautiful view and sounds of the sea, it gives an enormous feeling of wellbeing.Highly recommend!

    This was a great tour of Youghal. Tommy was very knowledgeable about the town and its history, and was able to answer all our questions.

    Was here at the weekend with the lovely Ursula.

    Wow, what building. The history just oozes from the walls. The interior is magnificent.

    This must be one of the most beautiful churches in the whole of Ireland.

    There’s a scale model of the church and grounds with an audio and visual presentation of its evolution from 1220.

    There’s also a lady who explains much of the history which makes for a great visit.

    The grounds are lovely to walk around.

    A must see for visitors to Youghal!

    'Please look after these walls before its too late.
    The Town Walls are in need of a lot of TLC. Appparently the person in charge doesn't think that clearing the huge stinking piles of garden rubbish dumped from nearby residents is worth shifting so the appearance of the Historic Listed walls is really bad. The rusty scaffolding and fencing with trees growing inside is also not a credit to the caretaker of the walls. The access gates through the Sally Walls were closed for 3 years until the person in charge was challenged about the decision to keep them closed. The steps up to the walls are in urgent need of repair at the bottom from Ashe Street and they also need cleaning because when wet the green moss makes them dangerous. Signposting to the walls is also missing at the top of the steps. Apart from that, they are pretty impressive but in parts in danger of collapse because of all the Russian Vine which has been allowed to climb over the wall unchecked.

    Really sets out clearly the history of Youghal and helps in planning a visit to the town. Good visual material and some interesting artefacts. Walking tours are organized from the centre.

    I was told about here as was unsure as to where to go for a good night out. It looks small from the outside but is really big inside. The bar is done up really nice, the staff were friendly and atmosphere really came alive once the DJ got going. It is a popular place for locals and I can see why!. The entertainment on there changes but you can see posters on the windows telling you who is on which night. I would definitely recommend you to go here for a good night out in a really attractive bar.
