Fabulous stay!
Pros:

We booked for 2 nights and stayed for 4! The hotel itself was closed but we were able to stay in one of the dog friendly, self catering apartments which was perfect. Large comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen, 2 bathrooms with fab showers, spotlessly clean. There's a lovely little walk through the grounds that takes you to the village. The owner/staff were very accommodating letting us bring both dogs. The garden/grounds were immaculate. Really good value for money. Would love to make this an annual trip in the winter. There's a couple of pubs and places to eat in the village. We only stopped at one pub and had a drink outside as the dogs got muddy on the walk so not sure if they were dog friendly but we saw plenty of dogs around the village, there were 3 in one of the shops we visited so I'd imagine most places are! There's a fabulous beach about half an hour's drive away (Derrynane).

Sneem
Pros:

Have been to Sneem hotel twice over the last few years. First time was during Christmas 2022 was very very quite but ideal , open fire on arrival and red looking for a pet ! Second time was summer 2025 . Staff both times were so nice , from reception to cleaning staff to bar and restraunt, so pleasant and always up for a chat!

Short walk to the village with some lovely little pubs and places to eat.

Pros:

A brilliant hotel with staff and facilities to match. From the initial check in to checking out the staff were excellent and friendly. There was a large wedding on when we arrived and the staff handled everything in their stride. Our room 121 was amazing, one of the largest i have ever stayed in . The view from the large balcony was stunning. Everything was spotlessly clean. A big bathroom complete with a bath, it might not suit anyone who has access difficulties to have a shower. Food was excellent . Would highly recommend and would definitely return .

Not 4 star.
Pros:

The hotel was lovely and the views amazing. We were staying in the apartments however which were definitely not 4 star. Very basic and pretty uncomfortable. There was no hair dryer provided and when we asked for one we were given one that didn’t work. The second hair dryer provided was functional but pretty pathetic. When we fed back on this the reply was ‘hair dryers are never provided’…quite a bizarre response for a 4 star establishment. I wouldn’t not stay at this hotel again - but I’d definitely avoid the apartments.

Great hotel in an amazing location.
Pros:

Great location with amazing views. The hotel was very clean and presentable with excellent staff who were very helpful. Breakfast was really nice and hot with plenty of choice if you didn’t want a cooked breakfast. Didn’t eat in the restaurant so can’t comment but the views from the restaurant are first class. I would definitely stay again. Sneem itself is a small Irish town with lots of traditional Irish pubs serving food as well as Guinness & Jameson whisky. A few gift shops. Plenty of walks to the waterfront and countryside within minutes from the hotel.

Cons:

Everything

Posizione da sogno. La nostra camera vista mare ci ha regalato una foto da incorniciare.
Pros:

Classico Hotel ben posizionato e confortevole. Ottima accoglienza da parte dello staff, abbiamo apprezzato di poter passare la serata attorno al grande camino con la possibilità di giocare e bere una Guinness

Cons:

Forse quello che mi è piaciuto di meno è stata l'allestimento e la poca scelta della colazione. Il buffet è misero e il servizio è misto buffet e comanda presa dal cameriere, soluzione che non è piaciuta a nessuno degli ospiti.
