Hayfield Manor

Jump to:

Hayfield Manor offers a level of grandeur that transcends its age. Discreetly nestled within its own private grounds, this family-owned and managed red brick, vine-covered country manor is a hidden oasis only a short walk from the heart of Cork.

The property’s warm ambience can be felt in the old-fashioned library furnished with antiques, leather armchairs and a fireplace that’s often ablaze. The elegant, candlelit Orchids Restaurant and the more relaxed Perrotts Garden Bistro both feature gourmet cuisine, prepared using fresh, local ingredients.

The classically-styled rooms are similarly lavish in their design and include special touches such as mini bathrobes and slippers for little ones. Some rooms even feature a hotel pet such as a rabbit or a goldfish.

OUR OPINION:

We love the small, luxurious touches and the friendly atmosphere evident throughout this sumptuous property.

OUR RATING: Deluxe
