Tinakilly Country House Hotel

What can i say, from the moment we arrived we felt relaxed and at ease. The staff on reception were friendly and helpful and gave us all the info we needed. Our room was lovely, very tastefully decorated with a nice view onto the gardens. Drinks in the little bar area were just lovely with attentive and friendly staff. Dinner in the restaurant was delicious as was the breakfast, The grounds here are spectacular and lovely to wander around.

Lunch for 50 people: Thank you to the team at Tinakilly for making this family occasion relaxed and enjoyable. The food was lovely and the service couldn't have been better. Some guests had additional needs which were accommodated without any problem.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Tinakilly Country House. We traveled from the US as our son and daughter in law got married there in August 2023. The whole experience was simply magical. The drive into the estate is a long narrow road and the further you drive in, the more you feel like you are entering a beautiful, tranquil fairyland. The gardens that greet you are stunning and meticulously maintained. The house is stately and gorgeous both inside and out. The staff are friendly and very welcoming. Our room was large, comfortable and looked out to horse pastures, gardens, woods, and the ocean in the distance. Our event was a small wedding of about 35 people and all of the guests stayed at Tinakilly. Throughout the weekend and several events, all of the staff went above and beyond to make our stay the best it could be. They were so gracious and accommodating. Food was excellent throughout. We were able to take advantage of several venues within the estate for our event, which was special as it is so beautiful with so many different gardens and rooms. If you visit Tinakilly, you will make lasting memories at a beautiful and special place.

We stayed here as part of a wedding party. Quite the weirdest double hotel room I’ve been in. The modest-sized double bed was squeezed into a smallish space just inside the door, with a bathroom adjacent. Beyond a strange partition was a huge dingy comfortless room with a few random bits of furniture. It was a bit like an unused storeroom - wooden floor rather than carpet, a bit of a rug, mirror leaning against the wall and an unused kitchenette behind double doors. No means of making coffee or tea (which we gathered other rooms did have!) - which at £180 a room is a disgrace really. The bathroom was OK although parts of the shower were a bit mouldy and black. We would rather have been in a Travelodge to be honest because there you get a cosy room, carpet, kettle, coffee and a king sized bed. This was a pity because the rest of the hotel is lovely - the gardens are special, the bar and dining room are great. The staff were all friendly, helpful and obliging.

Very rude staff. Walked around the grounds before going in for a coffee and was interrogated as to why I was there. No other hotel does this! Put up signs if you don't want people walking the grounds. Changed my mind about the coffee and left! Won't be going back any time soon.

What a fabulous Country House Tinakilly is - everything was just perfect - our room was lovely and the breakfast was lovely. A warm welcome to us - we left saying to each other that we would be back as soon as possible!

I have come out of "Review" retirement to share a most awful experience of trying to deal with the management of Tinakilly Country House Hotel. In brief, at a wedding there in early April. Most everything else was fine but there was no hot water in our room on the day of arrival or on the following morning. Only reported it on the following morning before breakfast but was essentially ignored, not even offered any facility to shower before we undertook our 2.5 hour car journey home. It appeared that a full floor of rooms had this problem. We didn't make a fuss so as to ruin the vibe of the wedding party but contacted the hotel subsequently via their webpage, by telephone, by email and formally by letter. No response, not even acknowledgement, received. Failte Ireland contacted the hotel on our behalf but they too were ignored. I wrote a final letter on 19th October and, you guessed it, that was similarly spurned. One would think that such an establishment would engage with customers as readily as they do when they are accepting your money, if only to be appropriately well mannered! It is not surprising that the latest reviews published here are of a negative nature, but the management obviously believe that their customers will accept such behaviours. I certainly will not.
