Desperate
Pros:

breakfast was fine and young man in Bar late on Wed night got me a sandwich despite Reception saying all was closed.

Cons:

No Air Condition, No fan, no phone in room, bedside lights on wall broken, bed side reading lamps had wires
on pillows from plugs in the centre of the bed head. Temp in rook 30 degrees.
Room overlook a dirty yard with plastic bags, wheel barrow full of dirty garden stuff and other dirty papers, etc in
this yard....a breeding ground for rats.
Coffee machine pod filled small cups in the room so full one could not move them.
I called reception on my mobile - she said there was a phone in the room and a fan....lies....
I told her again there was no phone or fan.... and again requested another room, she disconnected my call..she said the house was full.....another lie...
No reply from the phone when I called back...She checked me in a large dark haired Irish girl from Galway.
At 4 am I went down to the veranda overlooking the sea and while there a man came washing the furniture and the area. I had to go into the sitting area...he almost washed me away.
At 7 am I went for a walk, the new reception person {a foreign dark haired girl) checked and told me a room was free but not for single people for couples. Only small dark rooms facing the cliff and yard were for my type.
I asked to speak to a Manager - told he may be there around 9 am. She printed out a complaint form.
One could not read the print out....
I again asked for another room she say maybe but it would be facing the dirty yard the sea view is only for families.
I checked out....most unhappy with the standard of service, attitude and lies.

Old world charm with modern rooms.
Pros:

Lovely location overlooking Glengarriff bay. Old world charm. Restaurants and Bar food was good and I had an excellent omelette for breakfast too.
Bar staff and Breakfast staff were excellent .
Room was well supplied with robe, slippers and good toiletries
Location is good for exploring Beara peninsula

Cons:

It was during a heat wave and my room at the back was like an oven and the window only opened 2 inches.
*Minor complaint..the cord for the blinds was on the wrong side so you had to climb over the bed each time to use it.

Terrific
Pros:

Beautiful setting, very welcoming and lovely staff. Comfortable and up to date.

Cons:

Although the beautiful ensuite bathroom was obviously very recently installed there is no where to put your toilet bag or toiletries. No shelf,nothing. Also they should have a notice to inform the guest that they need to run the tap for a VERY long time to get any hot water.
