Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The room, bed and ensuite. Lorna on the phone was pleasant and helpful, and Tanya who let me in eventually was pleasant and efficient. Very good location and safe parking nearby.
Absence of any breafast facility - a bowl of cereal and toast with jam would have been very welcome. Absence of a working wifi connection.
Lovely B&B in quiet part of town
LOCATION WAS GOOD WE WERE RUNNING LATE SO NOBODY AT HOUSE SO WAS TALKED THROUGH SELF CHECK IN BY OWNER ON THE PHONE SHE SOUNDED VERY NICE ON PHONE . WE WERE ONLY STAYING ONE NIGHT SO IT WAS OK.
PLACE IS VERY DATED AND LOOKS IT FROM OUTSIDE LOOKED UNKEPT FROM OUTSIDE .
Location, location, location!!! Fantastic location to spend a night in Castletownbere and enjoy some great food and drinks
Nothing, it is comfortable, quiet, close to everything so nothing to not like
I had my breakfast from the coffee truck by the guays
there was tea/coffee in the room but no milk in the room,
Nice service, easy late check in.
The bathroom was a bit mouldy, but the rest was very clean. The beds could have been bigger
Good location for my travels Up to date bathroom facilities Met my needs for an overnight stay Off street parking
While the site specified 'no meals' that inc no milk even though tea/coffee was provided. Entrance, hall, stairs in need of refresh to this very basic accommodation
The location is great. Castletownbere is a lovely fishing town.
The bed was uncomfortable. There was no breakfast. It was extremely expensive for what it was.
No breakfast available. Location was excellent
Would have liked a breakfast, however i knew before booking the room
Great location in the centre of this friendly little town. Smelt of freshly baked cakes - very homely. Everything about it I loved.
There wasn’t anything I didn’t like.
Great location right in the city centre
However, I was a little bit disappointed with the cleanliness: there were cobwebs in the room. Overall, the house desperately needs a renovation."
Great location
No breakfast
Location, comfort, people
Nothing
Brilliant spot.
Nothing
Lovely spot in the middle of town
Nothing
The location was central, but we needed the windows open cause it was way too warm, so the traffic was quite busy and noisy
The area where we stayed was clean but around the property wasn't
The room was clean and the beds comfortable.
Our room was at the front of the property on the main road. It was a little noisy but traffic generally died down around 9:30.
Delightful people and very comfortable, clean and relaxing accomodation. Very handy location for cycling out of the town to fabulous places around Beare Peninsula.
Bed
Bed was ok
Location was excellent blocks from town center. Host Lorna very friendly and helpful. Thanks to Caroline for the baked treats too !
This property won't be in operation after this month, being torn down for parking lot (cue Joni Mitchell) ...so at some point there will still be free parking available here
Bed was comfortable
Location was great
When booking it said breakfast included. Misleading no breakfast served at this property and any restaurants serving breakfast in the town aren't open till 9am at the earliest. Not ideal when on business.
Beautiful old building with lots of architectural features. Easy checkin. Lorna was a great host, very pleasant and great to talk to about the local area. Highly recommend a visit to McCarthys Pub & food at Murphy’s restaurant which is a lovely the family run business.
Fonctionnel et propre
Un petit bug avec le badge d'accès, vite réglé
Location and comfort and welcome!
Great location 👌
The location is excellent if you want to explore Castletownbere and wild Atlantic way.
I've stayed in the Old Medical hall three times in the past, the last time being just before COVID and all my previous experiences had been excellent but now six years later the place seems to have lost its charm. Standards seemed to have slipped which left me saddened. The mattress on the bed had seen better days leading to a rough night's sleep. There was a black mold on the grout in the shower for which there is no real excuse.
Room cold no heat am # very strong smell of damp # no WiFi a television turned up loud pm next door to me little to no sleep no one on site leaving property next morning someone walking around inside of property loudly am woke me up @ 8am couldent get back to sleep
Location is great, in the town.
The room waa freezing cold, couldn't turn on heating. Cold draught coming in windows. Shower water was scalding hot and couldn't adjust the temperature.
The location to the center of town was convenient.
The owner made us feel uncomfortable. She seemed annoyed with us and told me my autistic son was rude in front of him. She also did not take responsibility for her hotel when we said that the rooms were noisy.
Nous avons énormément aimé notre séjour: Accueil chaleureux ,très agréable serviable on ne peut que faire l'éloge de notre hôtesse et du personnel Très belle région Ville intéressante On était très heureux d'être là bas

Street noise...
Clean and central . Spacious twin room with views across to Bere island . Owner was very helpful and informative .
No breakfast available but this was well communicated in advance . However , nowhere was open in the town to eat except supermarket (Sunday morning)
Perfect location & staff welcoming
Very good location. Very clean and cossy B&B. Lorna was very nice and everything was ready upon our arrival. Also parking was available in front of the B&B no problem.
The room was nice, well laid out with a nice amount of hanging/storage space, lovely modern bathroom with walk in shower, off street parking available opposite on a small (approx 20-25 spaces) car park and also a gravelled hard standing at the rear of the property although not ideal for motorcycles (as I was traveling on). Quite a pleasant little town only yards from the sea so plenty of places to get a nice walk in the fresh air.
The entrance to the building is shared with a tea room/cafe and doesn’t inspire much as its a bit tired looking, the building is clearly a very old building and has been partially brought up to date although I couldn’t comment on other rooms, if they were to the same standard then that's a bonus, there were no staff to receive me, just a text with instructions to access the building. I was the only visitor so the rest of the building was in darkness which may put some people off. Possibly due to the time of year but I walked out to find some food and found very little open, just a Chinese restaurant and a lobster restaurant.
No breakfast option
The owner greeted us and made us feel very welcome.
No breakfast but we did know in advance!
Old fashioned feel, but with modern families and comfort in the heart of town. Friendly proprietor. Nice breakfast.
No breakfast
Premises is for sale and while clean and ran by a lovely hostess there was damp in the room advertised as luxury B&B it does fall somewhat short.
Location
The leak in bathroom there could of been a nasty accident if it wasn't noticed, and it was an elderly couple staying that weekend in that room
Ideal location in the town
No breakfast or cooking facilities
Habitaciones amplias y buena ubicación.
La moqueta que estaba por todas partes olía mal, las instalaciones en general estaban poco actualizadas. Además se ofrece con desayuno incluido y después nada de nada.
Good location
Difficult to get in. No charging point. No biscuits etc, Bathroom door and skirting boards were very grubby.
Walking distance of everything
Near all restaurants and shops
Loved everything from start to finish, location was great and breakfast was amazing. Lorna looked after us so well.

Spacious, Clean
Door lock was annoying to use
The room was clean and comfortable
The battery's on the TV remote had run out, didn't feel my bike was overly safe in the car park as it was a bit run down.
Everything was great. Amazing value, fantastic location and a clean comfortable room.
Good value, clean but compact
Checking in was a bit awkward as no reception
Location, decor, staff
No small fridge in the room. A fan or AC would be nice.
