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.

Myself and my husband got married in Eccles Hotel in October 2023 and we couldn't have been happier with our experience. The wedding day itself was perfect. Marie the wedding coordinator focused on every detail and specific request so it was perfect and tailored to our day! The staff throughout our stay worked so hard while also being extremely kind and friendly. The venue itself is so beautiful and unique with the most amazing views. On top of this, the food is outstanding! All of our guests travelled a long distance so they were delighted when they arrived at such a beautiful place where they enjoyed the hotel, food, spa, and Glengarriff itself.  I am so looking forward to my next visit to Eccles Hotel soon!

We had our wedding at the Eccles and honestly had the most relaxed, straightforward wedding planning experience and an absolutely perfect wedding day. Marie Dooley, the wedding coordinator is a pro at what she does. She never put us under pressure or made us feel stressed. She was always in hand to answer questions or give advice. She had everything organised to a tee and had some lovely small touches for the two of us on the sat, which were really sweet and very appreciated. The staff were so friendly and professional and the food was the best that many of our guests had had at a wedding in a long time, if not ever. The food is top top quality!! I could not recommend the Eccles highly enough as a wedding venue and I could not have been more impressed with Marie and all the staff. Keep up the great work!!

We got married in the Eccles Hotel the end of September 2022, we had the most beautiful day and the hotel staff could not have been more attentive and helpful on our wedding day. We had a beautiful day and the guests all thoroughly enjoyed the day, especially the views from the hotel and the amazing food. We were fortunate enough to try out the outdoor spa during our stay last year as well. Highly recommend trying out the spa if you have the time. We went back this year for our 1 year anniversary. The service we got from check in, right down to the meal was out of this world, everyone working in the hotel is very attentive and personable. We highly recommend the Eccles as a wedding venue, the location is beautiful and the staff can't do enough for you, not to mention the food.

We had our wedding reception at the Eccles Hotel and Spa in September and a drinks/food reception the following day. We had an absolutely fantastic weekend! Our guests had a great time at the drinks reception, especially enjoying the cocktails. All the food we ate during our stay was fantastic, especially the wedding dinner. Our gluten-free and vegan guests were stunned at how well catered for they were. The main reception room was just beautiful with candles on all the tables and the stunning bay view in the background! The bridal suite was very comfortable with plenty of space to get ready on your wedding day. The hotel has so much character in every room, giving it a homely feel! It was raining on our wedding day and the fires in the reception were lit, adding a lovely atmosphere as guests arrived. The staff were very attentive, helpful and friendly throughout the whole process. We would like to say a special thank you to Michael and Marie who went above and beyond. We thoroughly enjoyed our wedding day and felt relaxed enjoying every moment knowing the fabulous staff had every detail handled. Our only regret was not getting a chance to try out the spa! Would highly recommend the Eccles for a wedding venue or relaxing weekend break.

What a wonderful stay we had at Eccles Hotel. From our warm welcome on check in to the sun shining on the bay upon departure it was a truly magical experience. This old lady has been brought into the future gracefully, allowing the old and the new to meet with friendship. The newly refurbished rooms are quaint but quirky.... And then we have the food. Sublimely created dishes, carefully thought out with locally sourced ingredients and seasonality in mind. The menu is intriguing yet not complicated. The dining room candlelight twinkling over the waterfront. A truly memorable experience, one I hope to relive in the near future. Eccles Team, Take a Bow!

My wife and I stayed here at the weekend. We were made feel very welcome from start to finish. Mary in reception couldn't have been more helpful. The Spa section offers a hot tub, sauna, a seaweed bath, and a variety of treatments. It is well worth checking out. Karen in the spa section is a credit to the hotel. Adrian in the bar was highly professional, efficient and good craic into the bargain. The food both for breakfast and dinner is top notch. Grainne who was on for breakfast looked after us exceptionally. In essence a fabulous hotel for a break and we look forward to booking a staycation in the Eccles Hotel again.

Went for a wedding. Beautiful rooms. Nice size looking onto the bay. Good selection for breakfast. Walking distance to the town, few local pubs and shops. Nice walks around. Can get the ferry to garnish island. Very expensive hotel for the area. Outdoor hot tube was a great treat

We went for a 2 night stay with breakfast and dinner for 2 nights included. Our room was on the second floor with amazing views over the bay, the room was very well appointed with a huge very comfortable bed, the ensuite was spotless, modern with a double shower with rainwater head, complimentary voya toiletries, fluffy robes and towels. On our first day we went to the spa and enjoyed the hot tub and sauna overlooking the bay with prosecco followed by a facial - I would highly recommend the spa it was a really relaxing experience. Dinner followed, it was exceptional! often when you get the meals included the menu is restricted, not at the Eccles, we enjoyed the most delicious meal of soup, dressed crab and shared Chateaubriand, with all the sides you could ask for, the attention to detail and presentation of the food was sublime. The restaurant staff were very attententive and so pleasant especially the new maitre de, they couldn't do enough. Day 2 we travelled to Garnish (also included in the stay) this was a lovely trip to a beautiful island with its own eco system. Dinner the second night was as good if not better then the first. This hotel is old world luxury and quirky with staircases everywhere, their attention to detail, their polite friendliness will stay with us for a long time. We are looking forward to returning. A wonderful stay - thank you Eccles Hotel!

Had a magical afternoon in The Eccles today. 4 friends celebrated a milestone birthday and from start to finish the staff and service was amazing. We had a gorgeous 2 course lunch in the bar with super efficient and friendly staff. Then we had treatments in the Eccles Spa, it was everything you would want in a Spa. Alice and the team have created the ultimate Spa experience, they looked after us so well. Can't wait to go back xx
