Myself and my wife dined in the Orchid last night.
Stunning food and the service was outstanding. So friendly, polite and helpful.

Hayfield Manor is an outstanding hotel! The room and grounds were easily as good or better than expected for this price point. The building is historical and charming but with modern conveniences, e.g. heated towel racks and remote controlled AC (yes I needed to cool the room despite being Ireland in November and it was great to have AC). The room was large, the included breakfast was delicious and served by extremely thoughtful servers.
By far the best thing about the hotel was the staff! Without a doubt this was the best hotel staff that my wife and I have ever experienced. They did things for us that you wouldn't have asked for but realized you appreciated (got the car in the rain, carried bags whenever they possibly could, etc.). Best of all they found ways to help us without our asking and without our feeling guilty they were doing things for us. Everyone had a real sense of humor which was such a nice change (or maybe they were just trained to laugh at my probably poor "Dad Jokes"), either way it was great.
An example of the level of thoughtfulness occurred as we checked out. I told the wonderful young woman at the check out desk that we loved the turn down chocolates (an Irish brand not available in the USA) and that we would like to buy a small bag if possible. She excused herself for a minute and came back with a large box of the chocolates as well as a hotel branded chocolate bar. She wouldn't take money and cheerfully gave us the chocolates! I truly regret that I didn't get her name to call out here, nor did I have Euros on hand to show my appreciation. Her actions made our departure such a wonderful experience.
The Hayfield Manor is a "higher end" hotel than we usually stay at but if I am ever back in Cork I will gladly book a stay here again.
Thank you for a wonderful experience!

This is hotel is a great luxury hotel close to city center with an amazing staff. Our room was large and comfortable. The staff made us feel at home from the moment we walked inside. Check in was easy, and the woman who greeted us was warm, welcoming and could not have been nicer. This continued as we went to the bar where Ava (not sure of the proper Gaelic spelling) and Anita took great care of us, told us all about Cork and how much they loved it, and made us want to sit and talk to them all night. After that we went to the casual restaurant Perrotts where Lucy took care of us. She was so bubbly, and warm and again made us feel comfortable and at home. We wish we had more time to stay at the hotel, but, there is so much to see and do in Ireland we only had one night here.

Hayfield manor exceeded above and beyond our expectations. Aoife at the front desk was extremely pleasant and friendly during our stay. Food, location , and spa were all top quality. We can't wait to return :)

La familia se reunió para celebrar una jubilación. El personal fue muy atento. Buena comida de origen local. Pedí el lomo de res y quedé muy satisfecho. Servicio rápido y personal muy educado y capacitado. Vinos muy buenos. Todo nuestro grupo disfrutó de sus almuerzos. Muy impresionado con sus guarniciones, muy generosas, todo cocinado a la perfección.
Tomamos nuestros cafés en una cómoda sala donde charlamos durante un buen rato.
