Staying in a room above the pub was a delightful experience with a spacious layout and a comfortable bed. The view of the square with Christmas lights and the illuminated Blarney Castle added a beautiful touch. The service, provided by very polite staff who went out of their way to ensure a pleasant stay, was exceptional. The location is brilliant, being just across the road from the castle and offering easy access to local attractions. The dining experience, although fresh and beautiful, had limited options at times. The facilities were well-maintained and enjoyable, creating a relaxing atmosphere.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was ideal, just 2 minutes from Blarney Castle and close to restaurants and pubs, but my room was directly over the bar, and noise from the hotel pub went on until 1 am on a Saturday night. The service was extremely helpful, especially with parking arrangements, and the staff were friendly and efficient. However, the dining experience was not superb, as the breakfast was delivered to the table, not buffet style, which I prefer.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms were quite big and well-decorated, although a bit cold at first, they warmed up nicely once the heating was on. The hotel overlooks the village green and is spread over 3 levels. The service was amazing, with extremely friendly staff and beautiful decor. I received complimentary cake, which was a nice touch. Although there was a small blip with an employee rushing past us at check-out, overall, the service was top-notch. The location couldn't have been better for visiting the castle and grounds, especially to avoid crowds. The hotel is superbly refurbished and offers a quiet retreat at night while being in the heart of the lively Blarney village during the day. The dining experience was great, with a lot of choices and friendly staff, though it fell a bit short of Irish standards. The facilities were well-maintained and pleasant.

I had a great time at the hotel, although it was more like a pub with rooms. The location was superb, right at the entrance to Blarney Castle's parking area and close to everything. The rooms were lovely and had a wonderful view of the square with Christmas lights and Blarney Castle all lit up, but there was some noise from a nearby birthday party. The service was polite and professional, and the staff were extremely helpful. The dining experience offered a nice variety of delicious food, and the facilities were adequate. Overall, it was a good stay with a few minor drawbacks.
