Fodor's Expert Review Dunmore House Hotel
Clonakilty, Co. Cork, P85 HC03, Ireland
Just 8 km (5 miles) from Clonakility with a private beach and nine-hole golf course, this family-operated property is an intimate place to wind down for a few days---without the busy vibe of a larger property. Room have solid handmade oak, ash, and elm furnishings while bathroom products are top-range Voya Irish organic. Rugs, of course, are Irish cashmere and very cozy in case a breeze swirls up from the ocean and into the room. Breakfast is top-notch with locally sourced ingredients and the property has a range of dining options, and a sea terrace.
PROS
- small private beach
- decor is thoughtful and tasteful
- the ocean views are hard to match
CONS
- out of town so a car is handy
- can be weddings
- no leisure facilities
