    Parking.

    Lovely building and entrance. Parking was a bit of an issue when we arrived but managed to eventually find a park. This is due to the fact that the hotel is part of a complex including a restaurant, cafe and the huge Irish shop. Excellent location with only a 400m walk to the castle entrance. The room was on the second floor overlooking the workshops at the rear of the hotel and was the smallest to date. It was nicely furnished and well appointed though. No aircon but we were able to open a window. Minimal noise from the workshops. Good dinner meal at Christies restaurant. Breakfast was in the Cafe adjoining the hotel. There was a section at the rear for hotel guests, although the cafe wasn't open to the public during the hour we were there from 8am. Excellent breakfast, continental and a la carte cooked menu.

    Signage for the actual hotel wasn't very clear and I ended up driving around the village before finding the front entrance. No issue with parking but being the shop, the bar, and hotel meant there was a lot of traffic in vicinity of the hotel. The signage indicated that there was a one way system in place, which I followed. Unfortunately I met a few cars & a bus coming against me. I also had a large group of Americans tourists who indicated that I was being rude to expect them to move from standing in the middle of the road. The breakfast was excellent but the location was confusing as it was to the back of a large food hall. There was also several steps up - not ideal for wheelchair users or those with mobility issues. The bathrooms badly need to be modernised - they appear to be from the 1990's. Pillows in the room were ridiculously soft - I'm more a firm pillow user. Price was a little step - for the hotel, the food, the shop. Everything was expensive, but it's no wonder tourists complain about Rip-off Ireland.

    The hotel is a beautiful mix of traditional and modern. The bedrooms are beautifully decorated with wool throws, tweeds, beautiful image of the old mill, with great selection of lights - beside bed, overhead & led over headboard. The staff are friendly and warm. The food served at breakfast was cooked fresh to order. Despite it being an older window, with single glaze windows, the rooms were warm and quiet.

    Don't pay attention to any bad reviews about Blarney. We had read that Blarney was a tourist trap by a well known travel author. BLARNEY! Definitely worth the Trip!

    We ADORED IT. We LOVED EVERYTHING about Blarney Mills Hotel and the town of Blarney. Te beds were comfortable, the food was delicious, the people were so friendly. For two retired American Tourists the town of Blarney, the castle, Blarney Mills Hotel and Restaurant were more than we hoped for. So much history, beautiful scenery and the gardens of Blarney Castle are acres and acres of beautiful gardens. You can walk for hours.

    The winter duvet was far to warm and uncomfortable for this time of the year.

    Being an old woollen mill the hotel has a lot of character. Blarney is an ideal location if one wants avoid the bustle of Cork. Staff were most helpful and the breakfast was excellent. The salmon dinner in the restaurant was excellent but the fish and chips suffered because of the poor presentation ( the cod dumped on a mound of chips, which should have been served separately ).
