    Went here the day if the wedding fare. Had dinner in the bar. The food is absolutely shocking . The curry was just tasteless and the chicken was bland . Small portions and overpriced. I don't mind paying for good food but the food here is below standard. My father-in-law was…

    We are using public transportation going around Ireland. From Cork is there a bus that takes me close to the hotel.
    Yes, there is a bus you can get from Parnell place bus station in cork city. The bus to kinsale will bring you to kinsale town but you'll need to take a taxi from there to the hotel which costs about €12. Hope this helps

    Nice walks in the summer, pool is ok but I think it would be limited enough in the winter.
