Castlemartyr Resort

Another fantastic stay at this wonderful hotel. We regularly visit with our Golden Retrievers and are always impressed by the exceptional service and warm welcome we receive. This time we stayed in a garden room, which was perfect. The enclosed hedged garden gave the dogs plenty of space, and the private gate with outdoor access was a great addition. We had lunch outside at the Canopy Bar & Brasserie and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful surroundings. The hotel grounds are lovely, with plenty of walking routes both around the property and through the nearby woods. The location is excellent, with Ballycotton and its stunning cliff walk just a short drive away. Dinner in the Canopy Restaurant was excellent, with delicious food and generous portions. We also spent time enjoying drinks in Knights Bar and relaxing in both the library and outdoor garden areas. Every member of staff we encountered was friendly, professional, and eager to help, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We are already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended, especially for anyone travelling with dogs.

Our stay at Castlemartyr Resort was truly exceptional from beginning to end. It was an especially meaningful visit for us, as we had the joy of getting engaged during our stay in the Presidential Suite, making the experience all the more memorable. A very special thank you to Brendan Comerford, who went above and beyond to make our stay so incredibly special. From helping to organise the engagement to ensuring every little detail was taken care of, nothing was ever too much trouble. The thoughtful touches, from the rose petals in the room to the beautifully arranged flowers and champagne, made the occasion feel truly magical. All of the staff were exceptionally warm, welcoming and attentive throughout our stay, and the service was impeccable. The food was absolutely beautiful, both at dinner at the Canopy Restaurant and at breakfast. Every aspect of our experience exceeded expectations. The setting itself is simply breathtaking, and combined with the wonderful hospitality and attention to detail, it made for a truly unforgettable weekend. We will always look back on our time at Castlemartyr with such fondness, and it is a weekend that neither of us will ever forget. Thanks, Calvin & Paige

Everything about the resort is just top class. The staff are so welcoming and kind, they really elevate the whole experience. Absolute gem of a hotel with fantastic facilities, amazing food and wonderful grounds. Also great location to explore the coast of east cork, the coastline and beach are less than 10 min drive

Castlemartyr Resort is by far the BEST stay we’ve had in Ireland. It is truly top-notch service. From the reservations team all the way through to check-out, the staff really knows their craft. I would like to thank Shannen, the Reservations Manager, for being so accommodating and helpful; Paul from Concierge, who was also friendly and welcoming (the Jameson iced tea was super nice, by the way!) and the check-in team for being so reassuring. Lastly, I would like to thank Trevor Sheehan, the Guest Relations Manager, who was present all the time. It’s the little things, like remembering us, that left such a great impression. He was even helping the breakfast team during a busy Sunday rush. He was so lovely and even helped fix a little mix-up with the room. He was so friendly to all the guests and really genuine in his job. The food was amazing too, and the service from all the staff was excellent. A special mention to the accommodation team for keeping the room clean throughout our stay. It truly felt like home, and I genuinely did not want to check out. We hope to come back soon! Thank you for such a memorable stay.

This was our first holiday with our six-month-old twin boys, and we were a little apprehensive about how it would go. We needn't have worried — every single person we met at Castlemartyr went above and beyond to make our stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Particular thanks to Jerry and Zabir for the warm welcome and the lovely send-off, both of which were hugely appreciated. We'll be back.
