Walter Raleigh Hotel

I've stayed at this hotel a few times. It has always been top notch! Comfy, clean spacious rooms, lovely breakfast and food in the restaurant, friendly welcoming staff and an absolutely great location with the town to one side and the beach to the other.. 10/10, I'll be back again :)

Excellent base for walking/cycling the Youghal Greenway. Great value dinner and overnight package; most friendly and helpful staff; excellent breakfast. We walked to Killeagh and got the bus back ; following day do Killeagh to Middleton and bus back ! Lovely view of garden opposite and sea from bedroom

Myself and my Pal Terrie had an exceptional 3 night stay in this beautiful Hotel on the 1st May in the wonderful town of Youghal. This historic building is decorated to a very high standard with lots of lovely seating areas, a great Bar with fantastic food and well appointed Bedrooms - ours faced the Sea and we loved it. We felt so welcomed and valued by the exceptional Staff who were friendly and interested in us and looked after us so well. In fact The Staff are an amazing team - full of enthusiasm and very happy in their work - we loved all the chats and laughter. I want to say a Big Thank You to you all for the exceptional care you took of us for those few days. From Olive who checked us in, to Michael and Jason, the fantastic Managers, our first impression was perfect, then we met Ross and his Manager Brian in the Bar - great fun here with the lads and the fantastic Chefs who produced such tasty cooked food of a very high standard, then lovely Dolores and beautiful Aoife at Breakfast who told us all about her favourite Beach 'Whiting Bay' which we visited and loved - you all made our Trip to historic Youghal one of the best we've had on our Staycation breaks in Ireland. Best wishes from the two of us and hope to see you all again soon. if you are looking for the real Ireland come to beautiful Youghal and stay in this exceptional Hotel - you will love it as much as we did.

We had a lovely short stay. The room was lovely and clean with an amazing sea view. The food in the bar was tasty, as was breakfast in the resteraunt The service was really good all staff were helpful and friendly, the manager Brian had a lovely personal touch with all the guests.

The view as lovely and I really enjoyed our stay. The complimentary scone and tea/coffee was a nice touch as it meant we didn't have to pay for lunch one day. The dinner was fab and staff so nice. Would definitely stay again as it was great value.

Just back from a stay here and it was absolutely fantastic. The Hotel is relatively small and intimate and there is a very warm welcoming feel throughout. It’s right across from a lovely little park surrounded by water and has fabulous views. Plenty of parking behind it too. The rooms are the cleanest I’ve ever stayed in, in fact the whole Hotel is spotless. We had dinner one night and it was very very good, highly recommend the Fish Cakes, delicious, I had Salmon too and it was exquisite, I’m not sure if it was but it tasted like it was Organic, beautiful…Desserts were also divine, especially the Apple Crumble. I love a good White Wine and the lovely guy in the bar recommended the Pinot Grigio, he gave me a little taste first and it was delicious, he also got me an extra Pillow later that night, worth his weight in Gold that guy is, (Apologies I don’t know your name). Breakfast was also very good, and it was lovely to see so many young local staff serving it. Young people need work for the summer and it seems to be a thing of the past, but not here! Overall I highly recommend this Hotel, Wonderful food, lovely happy chatty smiling staff, 40 mins outside Cork City, it’s literally across the road from the Sea, and it can’t be beaten on price. Probably one of the best Hotel stays I’ve had in Ireland.
