Reviews for Fernhill House Hotel & Gardens
Review 1：The room was beautiful and had plenty of space. There was a beautiful bathroom with everything we needed provided for us. Lovely views and gardens. Very friendly staff. Located about ten min drive from the town. Great entertainment in the town. Highly recommend.
Review 2：Mattress and pillows were not good quality. Pillows in particular were uncomfortable.
Review 3：Excellent breakfast, cooked to order. Lovely location close to town but quiet.
Review 4：The sleigh type bed in the room we were given was noisy and not standing solidly, rocked when moved. We had to jam it up against the wall so it was steady. The mattress was very uncomfortable,springs seem to be gone. Had a pain in my back the following morning, and didn't sleep. Gor a new room next morning which was far better with divan type bed and mattress was adequate. A bit too quiet, nothing going on,didn;t like the sitting area being the lobby. Not comfortable the way the chairs placed, and being at the front door of hotel, not quiet room to go to to read or watch tv except the bedroom.
Review 5：Friendly. courteous, helpful staff. Good cleanliness. Good food. Good information at reception as to what is on in Clonakilty and around about.
Review 6：a very comfortable room with a lovely breakfast in the morning. A great value hotel with lovely views and gardens. better suited to those with own transport
Review 7：We initially had been given room 203 but was too close to a noisy to a kitchen extractor fan. However there was no problem about changing room.
Review 8：The spacious room 206 was excellent and very well furnished with a "sleigh" bed and separate bath and shower. The breakfasts were excellent. You must try the homemade brown bread...its made in the hotel and is absolutely delicious. It was that good we bought three loaves before we left at only €3 each,
Review 9：Our room had a view of a wall!There are rooms with nice views but the hotel was full so!
Review 10：A nice quiet hotel.The wedding venue is away from the hotel so even with a wedding on, the hotel is calm!
Review 11：Please ask the waitress to wait until guests are seated for breakfast before she takes the order. On both mornings the waitress took the order before I had a chance to settle myself at the table. On the second morning the hot food arrived well before we had finished our cereal and fruit!! Marks on bathroom door which could be easily wiped off.
Review 12：Gardens are amazing, definitely a lovely wedding venue. Staff are friendly.
Review 13：The setting of this hotel is glorious - great views from an elevated position. Room facilities were excellent and the hotel was spotless. We only stayed one night as we were touring, but could easily have stayed longer.
Review 14：Facilities available at hotel limited but lots to do and see in the locality.
Review 15：Great breakfast, very friendly and helpful staff, great value for money, best WiFi ever.
Review 16：What didn't we like? That er had to leave the next day!!
Review 17：I think we liked everything. Friendly son of owners, Neil, was nice and gave us some of the family history about the property.
Review 18：The electrical system which I believe was above a wardrobe gave out high pitched buzzing. particularly apparent at night.Too a while therefore to fall asleep. Also had to put hand behind wardrobe to turn on bathroom light switch.

Review 30：As we were attending a wedding in another hotel, we didn't spend much time in Fernhill House Hotel. It seemed a friendly and well run hotel. There was a good choice for breakfast. We found the choice of a small Irish cooked breakfast welcome as we had a large wedding dinner the evening before. After breakfast, we has a nice walk around the lovely grounds. We could recommend this hotel for a comfortable stay.

Review 61：asked when booking for a double room,as shown on there booking site .when i got there i recived a triple room ,it was a lovely room if a triple room was what you payed for ,not cheap by any means .so i showed them there advertised double rooms and was informed i should have asked for a suite.very disapionted as i asked for a room as shown on site .
Review 62：We found the standard of food disappointing.
Review 63：The staff were most helpful. The gardens were lovely and we enjoyed sitting and strolling in them. everywhere was spotless.
Review 64：Could not fault this hotel. Staff were really friendly on arrival and through our stay. Room was bigger than we thought we had choice of 4 beds 3 single and 1 double in a triple room. Everything was spotless from the beds, carpet, bathroom. Crisp white bed linen and modern décor in both bedroom and bathroom. We had a lovely view of the surrounding country side. Didn't hear a sound all night long. Even though there was a debs function on the night we stayed but they kept it completely under control and we didn't even know it was on. The gardens are so nice and reminded us a little of the Japanese gardens in kildare with little bridges and gazebos and the view of the surrounding countryside is beautiful. It would be a beautiful place to have a wedding or other functions. The breakfast was another lovely surprise with fresh pastries and homemade brown bread and the usual fruit and a cooked breakfast to order included in the price. I really could not fault it and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was very close to inchydoney where we went during the day.
Review 65：Nothing about hotel, it's a bit of walk into town if u don't want to drive, but it's still only 10 or 15 minutes

Review 74：Nothing really. It may be a little out of town but with anybody with a car this would not be a problem.
Review 75：This Hotel was a revelation. It was absolutely gorgeous. The setting, the Entrance, the Welcome, the Staff and of course the Comfort and the food.. The garden was out of this world.
