Open wood fires and the warmest of welcomes await you in this family run hotel in the historic walled port of Youghal, located on the beautiful south coast of Ireland. It is run by the third generation of the Fitzgibbon family whose motto is "We aim to be the best place to stay and eat in Ireland". The hotel's outstanding reputation is due as much to the family's incredible hospitality and friendliness as it is to its delicious food and luxuriously appointed bedrooms. The 13 bedrooms exude comfort and luxury, stylishly furnished with antiques and paintings. The junior suites are located on the first floor overlooking the courtyard and all have balconies. The famous Seafood Bar and Restaurant specializes in the freshest of the locally landed seafood (lobster, oysters, crab, prawns, mussels, salmon, squid, sole, and the catch of the day). The Bar is renowned for its friendliness -you will enjoy a chat with the locals along with your Guinness & seafood. It is within easy reach of the major cities of Cork and Waterford. It is 35 minutes from Cork airport and 2 hours from Shannon. There are 12 golf courses within a 1 hour's drive. The location is ideal for visiting the southeast as Waterford Crystal, Cobh, Jamison Irish Whiskey Center, Blarney, and the Rock of Cashel are all within an easy drive. Additionally, there are equestrian activities, hiking, fishing, quad biking, and miles of sandy beaches.
