Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Castlemartyr Resort is celebrated for its beautiful grounds with walkways perfect for exploration, conveniently located near Midelton town, Ballycotton lighthouse, and Youghal town, with a spectacular location for visitors. Rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated, and full of natural light, featuring separate bathrooms. While the Canopy Restaurant's Scandinavian atmosphere didn't quite match the 5-star rating for some, the tasty breakfast, especially the eggs and pastries, was a highlight. The hotel's art exhibitions add a unique touch, resembling a spacious art gallery, and guests can enjoy a warm indoor swimming pool with large windows and leisure facilities including a steam room, sauna and jacuzzi.
