Delicious breakfast, interesting options. Location fantastic if you like a slow relaxed pace. Basking sharks circling in the water just under our window and steps and a path down to the coastline if you fancied a bit of rockpooling or getting closer to the basking sharks. Great little enclosed garden for games or family fun. There was a wedding booked in for Saturday and the capacity for full family togetherness was just brilliant, the openness and safety combined to make this quite a special find for those with children. And for those leaving the kids behind, it offered tranquility, wonderful views, a cliff walk, good pubs and if you time it right, a music gig at Sea Church 🤩

Ashlee Lodge is a short distance from the beautiful Garryvoe Beach. The area is full of things to do and places to visit.
The room was spacious, fresh, clean and homely. Comfortable bed, and no sounds from other rooms or guests. It was better than a hotel room.
The hostess is very welcoming.

Ballycotton is a lovely little village. The people are friendly and its fun visiting the different little pubs on the Main Street. The food at the Sea church restaurant was superb. The schooner tavern was the ideal accomodation for us with comfortable rooms with ensuite. The staff were lovely and the food was very nice particularly the full breakfast

It’s a remotely located, small seaside village with very few amenities so if you are looking for entertainment and nightlife, it’s probably not the place for you. But if you like coastal walks, tranquility, nature, peace and quiet- you will love Ballycotton!

The bed was huge and extra comfortable!
The bed was huge and extra comfortable! The room had a view on the ocean and this was simply amazing! Pity the restaurant in the hotel is closed during the week.. this could be said more explicitly while booking. But there are nice places to go to eat nearby, like Pier 26! The food was simply amazing!

Great village, stunning location, awesome bars. If you love running as I do then take your running gear and go on a stunning run - I did and I wish all my runs were as beautiful as the one I had last weekend.

The focus of the village is on the harbour.
The focus of the village is on the harbour. Cliff top walks and a good base from which to explore nearby villages and beaches. Cork is not so far away - only 30 minutes to Cobh well worth a day visiting heritage sites, exhibitions and museums.
It was a very clean, well kept room. Its location above a pub on the main street in Ballycotton just added to the experience as we enjoyed hearing the music & night life through the dormer window. The complimentary breakfast down in the pub was very good and the staff were friendly and helpful. The dinner food in the pub was also good. We weren't sure what to expect from this stay but were glad we did it and would sty at this location again.
We has a great stay in a wonderful location with several options for bars and restaurants. We were a short walk from the cliffs and the pier as well. The option to crack the window for a glorious sea breeze made for a great night sleep. We had a wonderful time and the breakfast the next morning was just the perfect cherry on top!
Absolutely beautiful. We had a lovely room with balcony and fantastic sea views. Room was very spacious and very comfortable. The hotel is spotless and the staff were so friendly.
We didn’t eat there but definitely next time. Taghy the bartender was a credit to the hotel.
I would definitely recommend a visit to the hotel.
WE stayed for the week-end in the Schooner guest house in Ballycotton. Despite Covid-19 restrictions we had a wonderful week-end. The room was spotless and the food lovely. Great location right in the middle of the village. The owner was really friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
Pat was a great host.....very welcoming, always positive; we missed meeting Anna ! Breakfast was fabulous, lot of space for parking, small pantry outside room was a great facility; so peaceful and beautiful and yet could reach other places to sightsee in 20--40 mins.... highly recommended
The Schooner is a wonderful hidden gem in beautiful Ballycotton. If you're a visitor to Ireland and imagine a place of fantastic hospitality, excellent food, a perfect location and the warmest of welcomes the Schooner is such a place. We will certainly return. Thank you!
We loved everything: our room was perfect, quiet with a comfortable bed and great bedding.
The staff were amazing—- always going out if tbeir way to be helpful and enhance your stay. The restaurant needs no description—-wonderful food cooked with great love and care.
Great place if you want to get away from the city! Ideal for walks by the beach, treating yourself in the restaurant and going for a little swim in the included health club. There is also an outside hot tub. The staff is very friendly and helpful :)
I have a long association with the hotel since before our wedding reception there over fifty years ago. We were both born in East Cork and Garryvoe was a frequent haunt. It is always good to revisit and revive the memories of "Happy Days".
