Bunbeg House

We Recently stayed in Bunbeg House, I think some of the previous reviews are unfair and may put you off, I was worried after reading some reviews but they are very unfair and untrue. The property is extremely clean, the beds are very comfortable, and the bathrooms clean with lovely hot water, the breakfast is of high quality, cooked to order fresh and hot, the toast and brown bread very plentiful. we stayed for 3 nights, and found the owners so friendly and helpful. I read in one review there was no parking, a complete lie and disrespectful to the owners and the property, there was so much parking at the property it was not a problem at all, now of course if you want to park right out the side the front door you cant do that but how many hotels or guest houses can you do that at? we pulled up unloaded our bags and parked safely around the back of the property, where we could in fact see our car. The property is a little dated however I have stayed in hotels and guest houses and paid more money for dreadful service, poor room quality and horrible pre cooked breakfast! This property is a little gem it was great for exploring and had wonderful beaches and golf clubs near by. I would highly recommend it to anyone staying in the area. There are some lovely places to eat in the area but the filling breakfast keeps you going all day. The views from the rooms were beautiful, i would urge people to write correct truthful reviews when posting about a property it is simply unfair to write disrespectful untrue reviews. I highly recommend this property if in the area.

Despite having booked well in advance, we arrived and were told to wait for the mother/manager to arrive to get our room number. The receptionist disappeared and we waited 25 minutes in the tired, time-warped, and dismal reception area before deciding this wasn’t the place for us and we found a more welcoming place to stay for the night. We were surprised that nobody called us to ask why we hadn’t checked in and why we hadn’t stayed, but maybe this is a regular occurrence! Like the previous reviewer we were not offered any food / drink whilst waiting and no sign of any of these facilities open despite the fact it was 2.30pm. It feels like a small hotel that has given up and needs a serious makeover, which is a real shame as it has a great location by the harbour.

Dated, narrow stairs questionable cleanliness, suspect the decor hasn't been touched since the 1980s,bar and restaurant closed most of the time, places like this will be gone soon, not worth the money.
