Some of the common areas were very tired looking with carpets that need replacing. It is a beautiful historical building and more could have been done with colour in the outside baskets.

Lovely hotel in a great location. Very comfortable bed and huge bathroom, recently upgraded. Food was excellent and the conservatory was a beautiful place to dine with outstanding views of the bay. Breakfast was very tasty with a good choice of options.

1. The room was smaller than I expected ( room 212 ). 2. There was no safe ( being picky here ). 3. The tea was quite cold as part of the breakfast ( was self catering but cold both mornings ). 4. The bar was more a mini restaurant but still very nice.

1. Great location - very near the Garnish Island ferry & 1km from the town centre. 2. Great view of the bay from the window ( room 212 ). 3. The price for B&B was quite good given the prices these days for August. 4. Free car park ( not always the case these days) 5. Excellent dinner in the restaurant - Great view of the bay from the exterior/glass part of the restaurant. 6. Excellent full Irish breakfast. 7. Staff were very efficient & friendly. 8. Loved the lobby for just sitting around. 9. Great shower. 10. Great escalator / lift ( not always the case ! ). 11. Comfortable bed.

Decor a bit tired. If an interior designer got hold of this place it could be amazing.

Amazing view from the room. And Sheila at the breakfast buffet is LOVELY.

Long walk up and down the length of the inn. But considering the age of the inn it is what I should have expected.

Room was very spacious and had a nice view.

At dinner we waited an hour for the main the be served, and the restaurant was fairly quiet. Staff seemed disorganised and the side salad arrived as we were ordering dessert. At breakfast the hot food (just 2 people ordering 2 eggs each) took over 45 minutes to be served and we had to remind the staff that we were waiting, so did other people in the room. The poached eggs were very over done, disappointing given the wait. Overall we had a pleasant stay in the room and at the spa however the service in the restaurant was very poor & disappointing both times, especially as this is a 4 stars hotel. We expected better.

The room and shower were nice. The view to the sea was lovely. The spa hot tub and sauna were very nice, with great views from a quiet balcony. The facial treatments were very relaxing. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel. Both menus had good Vegetarian and Vegan options.

The carpets throughout the hotel could do with a shampoo. Coming out from the restaurant particucilarly they are very sticky and dirty looking. Also, some help with bags would have been nice, We were in 336, a lovely spaacious room, but my mother has a heart contition and found the steps up and down very exhausting.

The staff were exceptional, very helpful and generous with their time

Starting to show its age, but still very nice

Beautiful old building in a great situation overlooking the sea

Just a little thing, the steps between the split floors can be a little problem if you have a heart condition, but I very much understand it's to do with the age of the building.

Location and the staff were excellent.

The first room we were given was a 'forest room, which I chose as I love garden and forest vistas, rather than sea views.. The description is a bit deceiving, as the hotels' flat roofs, air vents, and air conditioning units are what you mostly see, with trees at the back! Our first room was 111, and I asked for a transfer as the noise from the air conditioning unit was too loud. The room was also tiny, much smaller than you would expect for the price charged! This room had two single beds. I spoke to reception, and they immediately changed our room to 309, which was a forest room again, but was a decent size and much quieter. It was a lovely room, so we were very happy. You are also provided with bath robes and slippers, which is a nice touch. I would not describe the hotel as a luxury hotel, only because of the furnishings in the rooms etc, they are not of a high standard, but perfectly usable. We really enjoyed our stay, and would definitely stay at Eccles again. It was lovely. 8/10

The views are amazing. It's a great location to stay at while visiting different attractions on the Beara Peninsula. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The beds were very comfortable, and the rain shower was great, with an extra shower head that you could hold in your hand. The food was lovely, especially the fish and chips in the bar. The verandah restaurant overlooking the water was beautiful, the food was good, although a tad luke warm.

Overall the description on the website is about 2 steps above the reality.

Staff are really nice and helpful. The spa is a lovely outside terrace with 2 hot bubble baths, 2 cold water barrels and a sauna, all with sea view.
