We're just home after a mad dash to West Cork and just one overnight stay. After an early start and a full day's travelling, we were totally exhausted. What a balm for the soul the Seaview House Hotel turned out to be. From our first encounter with reception to our final checkout, all the staff were so friendly and helpful. Our room was huge and the bed was really comfortable, and we had a great night's sleep (I never normally sleep well in hotels). The food is reason enough to visit. The ingredients are all locally sourced, and with such care and attention. We loved reading about the provenance of the meat, fish, vegetables etc. We had John Dory for dinner and the fish was beautifully cooked, as were the accompanying vegetables. Breakfast was also first class - special shout out to the rhubarb and yoghurt, ham and cheese. The whole vibe of the hotel is a home away from home. It's charmingly old-fashioned, and decorated beautifully. It's a bit like stepping into an Agatha Christie novel. That carries through to the bedrooms - and means it won't be for everyone, as the TV was pretty small and there's no aircon in the rooms (one of the reasons I loved it). It's quiet, genteel and pleasingly analogue, and because of that, it felt like a really welcome respite from the pace of life in the outside world. The only disappointment was that we did not have time to experience the seaweed baths, sauna and hot tub, which I'm sure would have been of high quality as well. We hope to return soon.
