We had a phenomenal meal here and I highly recommend this place. This was easily the best seafood we had in our 2 weeks in Ireland. The food was good,... read more the presentation (which I usually don’t even notice) was unique; we had a long talk with the owner afterwards that we really enjoyed. And the servers were very good: they seemed to know when to stop by our table and they always had a nice comment. But I’d go here for the seafood, even if everything else was as good as it was.

Kate, her family and the team couldn’t have been... read more more welcoming to us. As soon as we walked in the door everything was taken care of. From booking us in for our dinners, assisting with our parking and giving us great advice on local attractions and things to do.
The room itself was spotless, modern, spacious and very well equipped. We stayed in the courtyard room. The fridge was stocked with juices, fresh fruit, salmon and bottled water. The bathroom was stunning and in the morning fresh pastries awaited us hanging on the door!
The hotel restaurant and bar are excellent, my wife loved the squid and even for a fussy vegetarian like myself I was well looked after! Good pints of Guinness if I may say so too .
Well located in the heart of the picturesque village of Cahersiveen with easy access to many beaches and sites. It’s a great place to stay to sample the best Kerry has to offer.
Truly a great stay and I look forward to a return visit this side of 2020.

  A friend and I recently had the pleasure of dining in Quinlan & Cooke's (QC's) restaurant in Cahersiveen, County Kerry. From the moment we arrived the entire evening was excellent.... read more Every precaution was taken to ensure the safety of both customers and staff with hand sanitizer stations, physical menus replaced with a Qr code and tables set well apart, and all staff wore masks. The food was nothing short of sublime! We both happened to order fish - lobster, hake and crab claws all washed down with a well chilled Three Wooly Sheep Sauvignon Blanc. This was our first meal out since Covid-19 restricitons were eased and while we were slightly apprehensive, we were quickly put at our ease. A definite highlight of our trip and one we will repeat very soon.

  What a gem. Great rooms, lovely decor, brilliant coffee...even the mugs are cute. FABULOUS breakfast (and lunch in our case,as we ate our wonderful smoked salmon on top of Cnoc... read more na dTobar that day! How often have you eaten a greasy fry you didn’t want or need, even in the best hotels?) Staff were young, friendly & efficient. Seating area outside was one of the nicest I‘ve been in...and warm! The food however, was the highlight..why aren’t more places providing this simple, unbelievably tasty, well-priced fish? Just great. Some small caveats...charging for bread and water is a bit much, particularly €5 for water..l realise there is a cryptosporidium problem, but still? And towels could be a bit larger....but still 5-stars in recognition of the way a small establishment is dealing so incredibly well with the current challenges. Fair play.

  New menu amazing! Freshest fish and friendliest atmosphere for miles! We can’t wait to come back again!

  We checked into QC’s last Sunday for 1 night & only wish we could have stayed longer. Our room, The Ballinskellig Suite was just so beautiful. Dinner was just sublime... read more I am still thinking about the absolutely delicious food. The service was just perfect, Ella & Jamie Looked after us so well & they were so welcoming & super friendly. There was a great buzz in the restaurant. Plenty of COVid procedures were in place with signage, hand sanitizers & tables social distanced. The breakfast in the room the next morning was really yummy, the granola pots were fab.
Well done Kate to you & your team on running a great show through what must be extremely challenging times for any hospitality Business. We cannot wait to come back & have already recommended QC’s to many friends. QC’s is truly a special place to visit.
