Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is beautifully surrounded by tranquil woods and well‑kept gardens. The staff were exceptional—warm, welcoming, and consistently attentive throughout our visit. We stayed for one night and enjoyed both afternoon tea and dinner, each enhanced by the excellent service and relaxing atmosphere. We look forward to returning in the future.

Best spa in Cork!
Pros:

The Maryborough Spa is by far my favourite luxury spa in Cork. The thermal suites are amazing! I especially love the vitality pool, it’s so relaxing and really elevates the whole spa experience.

I regularly book spa treatments here and every therapist I’ve had has been fantastic. A special mention to Lucy, Ewa, and Erin, they are exceptional and always make me feel completely at ease. The treatments are consistently high quality and very professional.

Every staff member I’ve encountered has been friendly, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. The atmosphere throughout the spa is luxurious, and perfect for unwinding.

If you’re looking for a relaxing spa day in Cork or a top-class spa experience, I couldn’t recommend The Maryborough Spa more. I always leave feeling refreshed and already looking forward to my next visit!

Very pleasant.
Pros:

The choices and arrangements for breakfast were very acceptable. The room was very comfortable and the provisions made were more than adequate. On our second day, we had dinner with three family members, This was a very enjoyable meal and our guests enjoyed it.

Cons:

Some of the flat surfaces in the bedroom had ring marks either from cups, glasses, bottles or plates. I am unsure if these can be removed from the marble-type surfaces, but they look bad.
