Quinlan & Cooke Boutique Hotel & QC’s Seafood Restaurant

We studied the menu and ordered our dishes….Loved it all!! Shellfish Bisque…excellent Portmagee Crab Bake…yummy Sea. Bream……definitely expertly prepared!! Enjoyed all the staff, knowledgeable, friendly and full of life!! We shared a house made Lemon tart with ice cream and berry compote…2 Irish Coffees!! Highly Recommended!! Thanks Q&C staffers!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Q&C. Our room was spacious, comfy, clean, and had classy details you don't find in large hotels. My wife and I especially liked having breakfast provided to the room each morning. A special shout out to Kate, who went far and beyond in helping us retrieve some items we'd left in our room and shipping them overnight to the next location on our trip. We also ate dinner in QC's Seafood Restaurant and though it the food was excellent. I highly recommend both the Townhouse and the restaurant.

We had two wonderful nights at Quinlan & Cookes this week and cannot recommend the place highly enough.|Kate, the owner, was incredibly welcoming & helpful with local knowledge of the area.|The room (we had the suite) was stunning, beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, very well equipped and perfect in every way. The breakfast provided was delicious, a lovely selection of juice, muesli, greek yoghurt, fresh fruit salad, a fresh fuit bowl, fresh croissants and slices of lovely Irish bread with the most tender & tasty slices of smoked salmon & brie.|We ate in the restaurant both nights, the food was so good. The first night we had starters of crispy calamari & local moules - both stunning. For the mains we had steaks which were perfectly cooked. The food was so good we ate there the second night too and both had the crispy calamari with homemade chilli jam followed by incredible fish & chips (never had hake before but I am definitely having it again!) and my other half had the slow-cooked beef cheek with mash & red wine reduction + veg - so good!|Our stay here was the absolute highlight of our week in Ireland, can't recommend it highly enough - treat yourself and stay at Quinlan & Cooke - you won't regret it.

We went for dinner and waited just a couple of minutes to get a table, but it was totally worth it. The food was delicious and you could really taste the quality in every dish. Prices were very fair, and the drinks were great value, especially for Ireland. Definitely a place we’ll come back to!

Fabulous clean rooms with lots of space, charm and information. Breakfast was lovely in the room and fresh pastries delivered in the morning. Would recommend. We didn't manage to get a booking for food as the restaurant was fully booked but had a lovely meal nearby. Staff were welcoming helpful and friendly. Great for a couples get away or a traveller looking for some comforts.

My friend and I stayed here on a "Ring of Kerry" booked tour, and we both agreed that this was one of our favorite spots. It's not the most ultra-luxurious in some ways, but it hit all of the right notes for us - clean, charming, a lovely property, but most of all, superb staff and the MOST delicious food. The owner comes from a family that fishes and her brother owns the fresh fish shop across the way - hence, the freshest seafood I had in Ireland. The mussels were so good we had to order a second plate. The food is not limited to the restaurant: the morning breakfast supplied to each room involves fresh croissant and pain aux raisins brought to your door, the most sumptuous yoghurt and rhubarb compote in the fridge (I ate both), smoked salmon and a lovely brie cheese. In short, nothing was lacking and the place had the most charm and care of anywhere we went. Would definitely go back.

This is truly one of THE BEST gems in the ring of Kerry. Not only is the owner spectacularly friendly and accommodating, and the staff all go out of their way to help, but the rooms are pristine, quiet, and charming, the property adorable and the FOOD - the FOOD - just out of this world. Do not go anywhere else: the mussels were so good we ordered a 2nd one. The fish is all some of the freshest as the fishmonger is a family member who had a store across the street. All local and extraordinarily good quality. My breakfast in my room was painfully good: I ate two yoghurts with rhubarb compote, the fresh bakery items (croissant, pain au chocolat) were delivered to your door, and the smoked salmon was also too good to pass up. I didn't have anything was was so good on the rest of the trip. This really stood out. Would go back in a heartbeat.

On this trip around the Wild Atlantic Way we have stayed at 4 similarly priced hotels and this was, by a country mile, the best. Spotlessly clean, spacious and well equipped rooms, comfortable bed, fantastic breakfast in your room (this is a great idea which should be taken up by others), great restaurant attached with varied menu and very tasty food, friendly and attentive staff. What more do you want. Would highly recommend.
