The stillness of the lake is only broken by the occasional fish, and stocked birdfeeders are always aflutter with winged activity. Neil welcomed my group of 13 with genuine warmth, & got us checked in to our 7 rooms. Our windows either faced the grazing sheep & lambs, or the lake & mountains. Swallows flew in & out of their mud nests on the eaves all day, and we could hear their tiny twitters. After checking in, we all headed down to the hotel bar where Neil introduced us to local stouts, ciders & vodka. My Stonewell Medium Dry Irish Craft Cider was DELICIOUS. He even showed us a picture of his grandparents in front of the original (much smaller than it is now) hotel, many decades ago. There is rich history proudly commemorated in the framed art lining the hallways - lots of stories in these walls! Dinner was amazing. We had seen Chef Katy's brown bread Youtube video, so it was a treat to meet her in person. She has daily dinner specials that highlight the fresh fish that comes in. We loved all our entrees, but the brown bread & this starter left several of us talking: Irish Cheese Salad, Local Gubbeen, Coolea Cheese, Cashel Blue Cheese, smoked bacon, roast walnuts, caramelized balsamic & orange dressing. Breakfast was a mixture of self service meusli, stewed prunes/apricots/figs, grapefruit supremes, scones & croissants, cold cereals, yogurts, Katy's delish brown bread, brown bread crackers & cheeses, juices & tea or coffee and a menu of hot items to order from. As a guest here, you will feel the deep peacefulness from being surrounded by nature, & from warm personalized service. When hearing that one of my group had become ill, Neil & his team went out of their way to make him as comfortable as possible, offering pitchers of filtered ice water, soup & brown bread, and tea & porridge to bring up to his room. Whether you are looking to plan a lovely dinner, stay a weekend, or plan a romantic wedding, this is your winning spot.

The hotel sits right on the Glengariff harbor; the front-facing rooms all have wonderful views. The rooms are good-sized but perhaps a little spartan. Eccles has recently opened a spa with three treatment rooms and a so-called relaxation room overlooking Bantry Bay. Treat yourself! You can enjoy a drink or a snack on the front porch or a casual dinner in the Harbor Bar. But go to dinner at Garinish Restaurant -- *especially* if Eddie Attwell is around. Eddie is a superstar in the garden and in the kitchen but he's low-key about his accolades. Better yet, he's over-the-top friendly and fun to chat with. We've been lucky enough to have 7 or 8 different dishes that Eddie prepared, including several that weren't on the menu. All were memorable. One of my favorites was a simple but extraordinary beetroot salad with creamy Irish blue cheese. I enjoyed my first ever buckwheat risotto. And the desserts! The brownie made with a beer stout -- more please. It's too bad that Eddie is 5000 miles away. I'd be eating there all of the time.

Our servers were very friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely superb. The fish tasting starter with 6 different fish to sample was excellent. The black sole on bone was among the best fish dishes I've enjoyed. The other entree-brill and swordfish was very good. The grill was lightly fried and tasty, the swordfish was cooked enough but not dry. The vegetables and potatoes that accompanied the fish were well prepared and tasty. We didn't have room for dessert. I ordered the microbrewery flight and received 4 to try. The lighter beers were better in my opinion, though I usually prefer dark beer or stout. There are other highly rated restaurants in Baltimore, we didn't try any of those. In my opinion, you will likely be very satisfied at Casey's.

They also have tons of information and flyers regarding various things to do in the area. Lots of trails & water activities.
