I've stayed at Barnabrow many times. And will stay there many more. I stay at a lot of accommodation when travelling for work. Barnabrow is by far the best place I've stayed and this is why I continue to return. Run by a wonderful team, there's nothing I can say other than, Thank you to Geraldine, Hillary and the entire team. I know I'm going to have a seamless stay every time at Barnabrow. I'm returning next week with my partner as I have been raving about Barnabrow for so long, she insisted on staying there too, which i am only too delighted to share the Barnabrow experience with her. "This is the only "work hotel" she's asked to visit. Most comfortable beds....Best breakfast I've had in Ireland (out of soooo many hotels). Barnabrow has character, unlike many souless hotels. Best music to have breakfast to while looking out on the wonderful grounds surrounding. Barnabrow has soul!

Nothing!!!

This country house is just wonderful. I've stayed here twice. Each time it was for work. I will definitely return for a personal visit. The House is beautiful. I stayed in the main house the 2nd time I visited. But the rooms across from the house are like a home from home, if your home is a beautiful period building surrounded by history. Stunning place to stay. The breakfast is the best breakfast I've had. It comes in 2 courses, with homemade granola and fresh fruits. The cooked breakfast was just divine made with local produce from Clonakilty, Roscwrbwrry and Ballybrow's organic garden. The stewardess of this amazing accommodation is the delightful Geraldine. She is the ray of sunshine keeping Barnabrow a bright light in the south of Ireland. Wonderful place, wonderful staff.....just Wonderful!! I will be back, again and again.

Barnabrow House is set in an idyllic rural location, yet only a short drive away from Ballymaloe/Midleton/Ballycotton/Garryvoe, etc. We stayed in the lovely renovated stables, and after a wet and windy night, sat outside in glorious early February sunshine on the morning of our departure. We didn't have breakfast, so I can't comment on that aspect. The rooms were quaint and comfortable, with tea and a nespresso-type coffee machine and a large shower. There were goats and donkeys nearby, which kids would love. We got a good deal for our one-night stay, which is always a bonus!

The bed was very high, which would not be suitable for people with limited mobility. I stayed on a wet and windy night, and wind was coming under the door, but the duvet was lovely and warm so there was no problem. One of the bathroom floor tiles was loose. Otherwise no issues.

All the envoirement was excellent, all very quiet and cosy.

The old world charm of the rooms. Attention to detail. Its such a pretty place. I could have spent my time just examining the period pieces.

Rhe buildings are a bit all over the place, with lots of steps between reception and the main house. Going back we would drop our luggage in front of the main house instead of going to the carpark. The ahowe was a bit slippy. The news were comfy, but so high! Im not tall and could have done with a step!

The property is laid out in extensive grounds with many areas for sitting and enjoying the exterior. As a wedding venue it presumably works well. In terms of location for someone visiting the Cork area this was good especially if like being out in the country. The room, whilst very eclectic lacked areas to hang your towel and easy to use mirrors but otherwise was very nice. The bed was very comfortable and a good nights sleep was enjoyed.

When it came time to pay we realised that we had been overcharged. The lady who took payment could not resolve it as she was only able to go by the list provided to her by the manager, who was not there. It took a few messages to resolve this situation after we had left the hotel so for anyone staying there the message is check the bill carefully.

Location was lovely, beautiful grounds, pleasant, friendly staff. Lovely cosy bedroom. Facilities really clean.

Each time you walked on the bathroom floor at the entrance to the bedroom, water oozed up from under the tiles....even before we used the shower. Bed is very very high. I am tall so had no issue, but for anyone who is of small stature it could be. People should be made aware of this. Now the bed was very comfortable.

The beds were very comfy. The shower was great. Excellent value for money. We stayed only one night while attending a wedding nearby so we didn't get to spend a lot of time at the property overall - but the time we did spend there, was very pleasant in a lovely setting.

Personally I like there to be hand soap in the bathroom, but I've noticed a lot of properties not providing this anymore. Maybe since COVID? There are shower toiletries as you would expect. There was some sort of mosquito net (?) around the bed which was a bit annoying to sleep with and perhaps unnecessary at the time of year that we stayed (April). Granted, coming in late after a wedding, I wasn't going to spending too much time trying to figure it out.

Lovely property with very friendly and helpful staff. All our requests were quickly and efficiently dealt with. I felt very welcome. The room was unexpected luxury, warm and cosy. I would like to go back there anytime. Breakfast was served in a wonderfully decorated room on a beautiful laid out table. It was served at the table by helpful staff.

Breakfast beautifully presented, delicious, plenty of it. First course was totally unexpected and a very pleasant surprise. What a treat!

We loved it but if I must pick something - door knobs (springs in them), in room need attention - they were difficult to open on a couple of occasions. May not be noticed by staff if not opening and closing frequently from both sides.
