Eccles Hotel & Spa is our iconic historic hotel on West Cork’s Wild Atlantic Way. It’s Glengarriff’s only four-star hotel, and enjoys a rich history that spans over 250 years: one that we’ve done our best to capture through our book, ‘The Untold Tales’, which shares the stories of those who have passed through our doors, from British royalty to poets and troops.

What’s more, as rich as our hotel’s heritage is what it’s able to offer travellers today. All of our character-packed rooms come with modern comforts and en suite facilities, while at our award-winning restaurant, our Head Chef creates incredible dishes that speak to West Cork’s culinary reputation. Elsewhere in the building, benefit from sumptuous spa treatments to soothe your muscles and relax your mind… and when you’re feeling suitably re-energised, take advantage of our unrivalled location to make the most of the Irish countryside. Whether it’s a walk around Glengarriff village, a visit to the nearby bamboo garden, sailing on a ferry to Garinish Island or doing something else entirely, there’s plenty of things to see, experience, and savour. You’ll never have a bored moment.
