Seaside Hotels Cork

The blue flag beaches of Youghal, County Cork

Beautiful beaches are not rare on the south cost of Ireland - there are so many that most aren't marked on the roadmaps.

Youghal is specially blessed with two prestigious European Blue Flag beaches at Youghal Strand and Clay Castle.

That's over 5 Kilometres of fabulous beaches to enjoy, with safe swimming (life guards on duty during peak season), and lovely coastal walks.

Sailors will enjoy the safe anchorage of Youghal harbour. The jetties on the town quay are busy in the summer with boats of all types taking advantage of the wide estuary and coastal sailing east and west.

Take a trip down the Blackwater river by boat or enjoy some sailing with Youghal's sailing club Aquatrek.

There's plenty of fishing too, either from the shore, or on chartered boats. The river Blackwater is famous for its salmon, but all kinds of fish are found in the multitude of habitats nearby.

Ahernes lives up to its lofty reputation. The accommodations, food and service are great but it is the friendliness and sincerity of the staff that sets it apart. The location for the town and surrounding area can't be beat. A most pleasant way to spend time in East Cork.
A lovely overnight break, very friendly and excellent value, thank you
We had a lovely time in Aherne's townhouse and the tasting menu which we had was delicious. Overall the standard of food was very high. I had booked Ahernes as a birthday weekend away and my only complaint, which is quite small in the grand scheme of things was that I had been told that a cake would be provided on the night we had dinner in the restaurant. Unfortunately, there was an oversight and there was no mention of my Fiancees birthday despite two other tables in the restaurant having birthday also and being given a cake throughout the night - this further highlighted the fact that we got missed out and my Fiancee was alittle disappointed. Aside from this though, we had a lovely time and would certainly recommend this hotel.
