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 Boyle vault. We were in Doneraile Court and our guide Mags told us of how At Leger, Boyle, O Brien & Barry families were interrelated. We said we were going east and Mags said St Mary's in Youghal is a must.

    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!

    '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.

    The woman at the tourist office was super helpful: making a call for us to a boat charter company, urging us to see their history exhibit, and pointing out places to visit on the map. It is located by the water and we had to ask two people before we finally found our way there, but it was so worth the stop.

    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.
