The Clonakilty Hotel is a very centrally located hotel, stepping right out onto one of Clonakiltys main streets.
The ladies on reception were great to deal with, informative and straightforward. Our room was spacious enough, with a shower/tub combination in the bathroom. A little outdated with very high shower hose (my friend could not reach to adjust) and no option to lower it. Rust around the tub plug - didnt bother me but I could see it being offputting for folk expecting high standards. One double and one single bed in the room - the mattresses were smaller than the bed support which led to a peculiar look / easy to misjudge when getting into bed.
Breakfast was ok, selection of fruit/juice/cereal/pastries with the option to order a hot meal from the kitchen. I ordered poached eggs on toast which came two poached eggs on one thin slice of toast with all crusts cut off - wasnt very filling as a result so had a croissant and OJ from breakfast bar.
Overall a comfortable stay, good location but outdated in many areas for a 4* rating. Parking also was confusing, very little on street and seems to have two car parks around but one says Townhouse parking only and the other says Apartment parking only so not clear if ok for hotel patrons. We got a space on the street in the end so didnt query.
Slept very well, beds were super comfortable!
