Reviews of Eccles Hotel and Spa 4 stars

Lovely relaxing atmosphere. Great staff. Yummy breakfast. Beautiful spa. Really enjoyed my stay

I really enjoyed my stay

Breakfast was good. Found the hotel a bit dreary.

Room a bit brighter. Bed and pillows could be a lot more comfortable .

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.

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.

Location.

Property needs updating. Food when it eventually arrived was good. Room was small with oversized bed for floor area. It was pushed against the window, which meant climbing on the bed to open window or pull down blind.

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.

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.

Breakfast

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

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

Staff excellent could not do enough for you❤️ the bar man called ADRIAN even came to pick us up from a pub with HAD Irish music AND WE HAD ANF ELEDERLEY GRANDAD amazing! We had 3 generations as grandad. Came from there ! Wedding co ordanator could not do enough with advise of where to go also the breakfast lady

Irish music was on only once my mom used to take us there years ago and the Eccles was the place to go ! The hug of the town now they seem to focus on Weddings sad I wanted so real Urish music and musicians! Very inconvenient that we could now get a taxi t pi As it ment if we went out as a family someone could not drink as we had an elderly granddad with us who needed a can the rest of us could walk so that was disappointing! Thought a hotel with this reputation would have a driver available to go into town as otherwise the elder miss out , sad

Nice hotel in good location comfy bed great shower.

Disappointed with a mix up over breakfast order that took over 30 mins to come. Had to leave so mo breakfast.. This was deducted from my bill but I left hungry

The location of the hotel was excellent. The staff were friendly and courteous,

The first room we were allocated was very small. The bed occupied most of the room, with very little space to sit and relax. Our travelling companions had a more spacious room although the price was exactly the same. Out of the two windows in the room, one was screwed shut! The other one only opened about 50mm. The en suite was so small I had to turn sideways to close the door. The restaurant only had two choices for dinner, both of which were quite pricey. The bar food choice was better, but the food wasn't great. Breakfast was fine, but I was amazed to see a surcharge of €5.00 per item for any change you wanted to make on the menu.

History, old area flair (such as the lobby as a social area) view from the restaurant at breakfast, hot food options at breakfast

Despite being spacious, our room (being the accessible access ground floor room) felt very underwhelming. The entire old area charm was lost for me this way. Additionally, a bathroom adjacent to our rooms entrance was prominently audible whenever in usage by a fellow hotel resident, such as people who were having drinks in the close by lobby. When me and my finance wanted to go to Bantry town and asked the front desk for support arranging the taxi, the young employee was dismissive and was appearing reluctant to offer us support. Otherwise front desk staff was always friendly.

Breakfast was good and staff at breakfast friendly

Staff at reception unfriendly Hotel is very tired

Beautiful location and old world charm

Food could have been better

Staff lovely and extremelyhelpful. Hotel a bit dated. Rooms are extremely small especially for the price.

Room was very spacious and had a nice view.

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

Breakfast was very slow and no staff paying attention to customers

A smile from staff
