We had a beautiful and heartwarming welcome! From Tilly to the manager to Naomi the wedding coordinator, even the restaurant staff....everybody was helpful, smiling, kind... They made us feel very special and we loved our time there!
The food was also gorgeous! Every single dish tasted fresh and was a delight for our tastebuds!
We will definitely come back. Thank you again! You are a wonderful team and really do a stunning job!!

Just back from a 2 night stay at Schull Harbour hotel.
The staff were so friendly and accommodating.
We stayed in a 3 bedroom dog friendly apartment.
The apartment is very well equipped and comfortable with plenty of space.
We ate in the hotel and the food choice and service was top class.
The leisure centre is a great addition to the hotel.
The location is spectacular, I was lucky enough to catch the most beautiful sunset and sunrise over the harbour.
Schull is a great base for exploring all of what West Cork has to offer.
Would highly recommend this hotel.
Thank You for a wonderful stay.
Happy to give 5 stars as staff (Cornelius and lady in breakfast room especially) really helpful and we had a lovely stay. Ticks a lot of boxes from comfy beds, cosy bathroom, useful plug points/storage/ makeup mirror ❣️, was pity that sauna and steam room weren't working during our visit but pool area is v peaceful.
Breakfast: I would suggest replacing the non descript 2 sausages with one tasty locally sourced (Gubeen?) sausage and replacing the rather overly smoked (v strong) salmon of which you get a huge serving with smaller serving of lighter tasting (Union?) salmon for eggs royale. Coffee was v strong too. However these are small matters though simply resolved I would think for a more positive overall experience. Would recommend the hotel. Fabulous location, lots of great points.
Would visit again for sure 👍
I liked the polite staff. I ordered tea with lemon and tiramisu. The tiramisu is served with whipped cream on the side. I stayed at the restaurant to work, and I felt comfortable. I took a photo of the prices on the receipt.
The best bar in Downings-very old bar with low ceilings and great atmosphere-overlooks the bay from the outside seating-lots of friendly locals (many thanks to Seamus and Helen for the great tip about the Thursday night special dinner at the Downings Bay Hotel) ; good conversation, seems to be busy always so seating might be tight in late afternoon
26/08/2024: Busy spot in Schull harbour. Food is excellent. Really fresh fish and excellently cooked and presented. Owner is French and has a great no nonsense approach to his food. Highly recommend.
18/08/2024: Great fish and chips, go early to get seats in the evening
