Eccles Hotel

Myself and my Wife had our wedding here in July 2026. From the very first day we stepped foot into the Eccles, Mags and her team made us feel incredibly welcome. We had the most amazing experience on our wedding day and they could not have been more accomodating to us and our family and friends. We were struck by the sheer number of people who complimented the hotel, Mags, the food and all of the staff throughout the weekend. Whether it is a weekend getaway or you're considering having you're wedding in the Eccles hotel, we could not recommend it as a venue highly enough. Sam and Miriam

We had a fabulous stay in the Eccles Hotel. The hotel was very cosy, clean and old worldly. The staff were all very friendly and engaging. Breakfast was lovely but lunch and dinner in the hotel were the main show. We had a 2 course dinner each evening and it was delicious. the onion bread and bacon butter was very moorish. The hotel is close to lots of walks and places of interest. We saw lots of seals on this trip as well as walks within the local Glengarriff Nature Reserve. I would recommend a stay at the Eccles Hotel.

Sadly this is not a hotel I would ever want to come back to. I gathered from the promotional photograph that a beautful view of the bay would be seen from our room, but what was not included was the very large car park with promotional stands/posters for some future event, the main road and then beyond that the overnight layby parking for camper vans etc. The rooms were clean but soulless as were the endless corridors (if you weren't fortunate enough to be staying in the main suites). It all had a touch of TKMaxx and the "The Shining" feel about it. That said the staff were all incredibly friendly and the breakfasts were delicous - a pity about the very loud piped music blaring away on our first morning. Dinners were also good, but found more atmosphere at Caseys down the road on our last night. There was nowhere to sit downstairs unless you were happy to sit in the hallway along with all the draughts from the opening and closing of the front door. The other sitting room was locked and mothballed, and the only other room available looked like a conference room with a large table and chairs. The hotel just felt as if it needs an injection of cash and cosiness.
