Best Hotels near Flax Mill, Cork

The receptionist a mature lady ensured from the minute we arrived that all would go well even if we were English. She helped my wife with the local Pharmacy (thank you).The hotel has ample parking. Parts of the hotel actually have an interesting Irish Rail history as well. The hotel is right next to a decent high street 5minute walk away. They also served Murphy's in the bar! The room was good but it was the history inside the hotel and the conversion of the Railway bridge into a drinking area very novel. Breakfast was very good and competative no complaints from me Irish Breakfast same as an English to me! Would we stay there again yes we are planning to again next year. Iy is only a 45min drive drom Cork airport.

From the moment we arrived here we felt relaxed, the receptionist was very welcoming and friendly and knowledgeable. The staff for breakfast were really friendly and always smiling. What really impressed me here are the leisure center staff, I am sensitive to noise, and they tried to let me know the best time for me to use the sauna etc, where I could get the best enjoyment, Tom in particular, was very understanding, he could have easily shrugged me off, but went out of his way. We will be back here again without a doubt, especially with the new large sauna, large jacuzzi, new steam room being built. The place is spotless as well.

Rachel at reception saved our vacation to Cork! Upon arrival to Cork, our airbnb had visible mold and smelled of mildew. Even though the Jury's Inn was fully booked, she helped us try to find a new location. After spending time in your lobby, Rachel rushed out to tell us there was a cancelation! Not only did she help us get a room, she provided complimentary drinks for ”our rough day”. I can't say enough good things about how caring Rachel was through the entire process. Thank you Rachel and Jury's Inn!

Very good location. Small but have everything you need. I stay one day and it’s fine for me.

Hotel Issacs Cork City has a good center city location, close to the main sites tourists would like to see and not too far from the bus and train stations. When we were there recently, our room was very spacious, especially by European standards. There were 2 drawbacks to the property I feel visitors should be aware of, however. The first is the parking situation. The hotel has no parking of its own, but rather allows you to park in a church lot that is isn’t particularly close, for a fee. The issue is if you have even the slightest mobility issue, it will be rigorous to get your luggage to the hotel. It’s easily .3 -.4 of a mile away and you have to descend a steep incline and get the luggage down several steps to reach the hotel. Then you have to reverse the process when you leave the hotel. You are entirely on your own to handle this. There is no one on staff to assist you. When you want to enter the parking area to drop or retrieve your car or any forgotten belonging, the gate which guards the parking area is locked and you have to call the hotel to have the gate unlocked remotely. It’s a pain and especially so when the staff is unavailable to answer the phone quickly and open the gate. Right now the road in front of the property is all torn up for repairs, so possibly the situation will Improve when those are done, but that is the permanently designated parking area and there is no ‘set down’ space to leave luggage and go park. It’s enough to make us never under any circumstances return. Additionally, our 3rd floor room was not air conditioned and the sun came in at such an angle that it heated up the room until dark, which was late due to the long daylight hours. The day was only about 65 degrees F, but the room temp was 80+ and never cooled down enough to sleep well. If you visit in the summer, be aware that you will be cooked on the 3rd floor. There was only 1 available room we could have moved into and it was air conditioned, but only had a double bed, which wouldn’t work for us. All in all, we wish we’d stayed elsewhere.

Traditional style, comfortable rooms, restaurant and bar are very atmospheric, great breakfast

Hotel is very modern. Room was way too small A/C didn’t work in my room. Location great but train station beside will not let you sleep. Bar in the room , cool idea !

We stayed for 3 nights in November as a large group of 14 adults and 5 children, it was our third trip to Castlemartyr as a group and we had a great time. We rented out 3 of the Gate Residences which are located just as you drive in. The houses have everything you need amenities wise and were absolutely spotless. They're bout a 5 min walk to the village and a 7 min walk to the hotel itself which is super handy. The village has a Centra, Greengrocers as well as a couple of pubs so all you need really. Concierge service is available from the house but it's such a nice walk especially at night so would highly recommend once the weather is good. We had dinner in The Canopy Restaurant on the first night and the Hunted Hog both other nights. Food was absolutely delicious in both as it always is and the service was fantastic. Whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner the food is really good in the hotel. One thing I would say, if you have a baby who is only moving to solids, there are no options available except soup. So I would advise bringing your own if you have a young baby. It would be great if the hotel offered something even like Ella's Kitchen pouches in the future. The pool is great for adults and kids alike. There are alotted times to bring children and they have a ball. But alternatively there are adult only times which is great too if needing to chill and have a swim. Have to give a special mention to the babysitting services onsite as well. If you require a baby sitter the hotel will provide numbers to organise yourself. We've had Eileen on every visit and I can't praise her enough, she has been amazing and so good with the kids as well. It's great having the option if you want to go for a bite to eat and a drink knowing the kids are being so we'll looked after in the house. Overall another great few days in Castlemartyr and we're looking forward to heading back in the future.
