The Eccles Hotel and Spa is vast, with many guests and seating areas. The breakfast was ample and delicious, with self-serve cold items as well as hot items to order from the menu. The room pillows were my favorite.
This trip was a celebration of my friend’s 80th birthday. I was sure to get a place with an elevator since she walks with a cane. The problem was that the elevator took you to a floor, but because of the vastness of the various levels, she still had to walk up and down 19 steps, and go an extensive distance to get to our room. I felt bad for her. The halls were not clearly marked with how to get back to reception (there was only one sign), and the elevator doors were not marked as well. (It was like a maze.) In addition, our view was of the dirt/plant/working/yard portion of the hotel, so we listened to someone rolling up what sounded like a water hose the night before, and also a truck coming for a load the morning we were trying to sleep in. (There was no sleeping in.) Our stay definitely did not feel calm and spa-like whatsoever.

We absolutely loved our stay at Eccles Hotel and Spa and talk about it all the time! It was like stepping into a movie and back in time! It is an historic grand old hotel with the ambience you would expect of that kind of place. A lovely dining room with wonderful service and professional, considerate staff. Our room was small but looked over the water and, while parts of the hotel could use some updating, we wouldn't change a thing and would love to go back! It is also a beautiful drive through the mountains from Glengarriff to Kenmare and we had the best couple of days!

Lovely large lobby? Old school feel. Right on the bay with great views outbthe windows. Really liked our stay at the hotel and the tour of the Beara Peninsula as well. Highly recommend!

I've got better room that I expected - with big bed and harbor view, very close to lobby. Breakfast was rishi, night was silent, without sounds from other guests
On reception I was asked to share my card number and date of expire after payment. No one ever asked me about that before. It was very unpleasant surprise, felt unsecure. During the breakfast when I just went to have another cup of hot water all my jam and other unfinished stuff was taken away ?

Room was very spacious and had a nice view.
Long walk up and down the length of the inn. But considering the age of the inn it is what I should have expected.

Location is the main seller for this property, room was clean and bathroom recently renovated , reception was helpful , good TV reception, decent breakfast , services seemed quite good and staff helpful
I don't think this place will meet the expectation of a four start hotel , maybe 3 , taking in consideration that this is an old building there are still things that can be improved to make it in to a great 4 star hotel - Room - the furniture in the room is outdated and could do with a clean - Spa - sauna and hot tub are not included, you need to pay for them - Hotel - the hotel needs a deep clean and at least a carpet change as the wear on it is quite extensive, overall the hotel didn't gave me a nice feeling that you would expect from a 4 star hotel - Restaurant - service could be improved with attention to serving, while the staff was nice and pleasant i had to wait for a good while for my chips to be brought with my steak while desert took at least 15 minutes ...

Gorgeous views!!!!! Beautiful, historic hotel. Excellent food and service in the bar. I think I read it’s under new ownership. It has tremendous potential with just a little Tender Loving Care to be exceptional.
Needs updating. Elevator out of service, new staff didn’t seem to know things, carpet could be replaced, fresh flowers were fading - beautiful historic property that just needs a little TLC.

I loved the age of the hotel. The thought of all the previous visitors who had stayed there. I loved the stairs that linked the buildings that were added as time passed on. I loved the thought of sharing the space with celebrities of by gone ages. I loved imagining how the hotel was in their time and how it compared with now.
Our bathroom was a little cramped with little space for our necessities etc
