Castlemartyr Resort

Having paid €339 couldn’t get into main restaurant,2 nd restaurant full of kids running everywhere so had to eat in golf club. Food really poor . Hotel itself has changed radically since last here, still clean and friendly staff but totally different ambiance here

Lovely hotel valet service on arrival and a lovely welcome glass of processo ( nice touch). Deluxe room very nice and laid out on floor 3 of the new wing with nice balcony. A few scuff marks on furniture needs updating but overall lovely. Nice ballon and bar of chocolate left for my birthday (thank you). Only downfall throw no fault of hotel there was a lot of families with kids and at 10.30 pm at night and from 7.30am they were running up and down the halls this should not be allowed so the hotel should have a policy on this. It’s not fair on other residents as we are all paying 5 star prices. Food for dinner in canopy is excellent and we ate in the club house which was also nice. Breakfast was ok (our worst meal) it was abit scattered and busy and the cook to order omelette was poor but eggs benidict was nice. Also tray of jam had all the same this should be mixed! And more effort to self service table for variety of cooked meats and cheeses / bread. Grounds are lovely for walk or cycle. And near the village. I used the swimming pool and feel it’s needs cleaning you can see green on tiles and some chips and thermal areas needs updating slightly. Overall lovely stay in cork just some minor changes needed to keep in line with other 5 star hotels we have stayed in Ireland such as adare manor, trump doonbeg and Europa Kerry.
