This pleasant hotel situated in the town of Midleton, close to the Old Midleton Distillery, was completely refurbished and upgraded in recent years.
Renovations include a new bar and restaurant, and an impressive leisure centre with 18-metre deck level swimming pool, gymnasium, outdoor Canadian hot tub and much else besides - including a Wellness Centre and Spa, with a wide range of treatments such as seaweed wraps, Indian head massage and reflexology as well as Yonka revitalising beauty treatments.
Comfortable en-suite bedrooms - which are all furnished to a high standard with interactive TV with video and movie channel, phone/ISDN line, trouser press & ironing facilities, hairdryer and tea/coffee facilities - include some suitable for disabled guests and some non-smoking rooms as well as a 'presidential suite' for visiting VIPs.
Although it is used a lot by the business community, the hotel also makes a good base for touring east Cork - Fota Island wildlife park, Cobh harbour (last port of call for the Titanic) are nearby and golf packages are arranged.
