The Beara Coast Hotel is situated in an absolutely gorgeous location looking out on the harbour and…read morefamous fishing port of Castletownbere. It was originally called 'Cametringane Hotel' way back in the late 70's and 80's, (in fact I had my wedding reception there all of 36 years ago!) has had a number of owners since, was closed completely for the past number of years and, as a result became totally run down. However, on a recent visit to Beara, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it has now reopened under new management with a badly needed complete refurbishment and upgrade. There is still some work to be done on the surrounding grounds and pathways etc but I must say the work done to date on the interior is wonderful and modern while still retaining subtle hints of the 'old style'. We enjoyed a very pleasant lunch in the bar area - it was a Sunday and the restaurant was completely booked out, a very good sign indeed! Our food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent and efficient. The Manager on Duty made it his point to drop by each table and chat to the customers, seeking their opinions on the food etc., and to ensure that everything was up to standard. The menus appear to be very good and varied, with a 3 course Sunday lunch priced at €25, an extensive dinner menu as well as a really good Bar Menu with a huge choice of starters, sandwiches, main courses and even a burger bar. The picturesque setting would make it a brilliant location for a wedding, with such wonderful scenery for memorable photographs with the harbour etc in the background. I believe the bedrooms have also been upgraded to a high standard and some of them have balconies looking out over the harbour. What a wonderful location for a holiday or short break to explore the amazing Beara peninsula which is also on the famous Wild Atlantic Way route. The whole place was really busy but the friendly and efficient staff made sure everything was running smoothly and 'ship shape', if you pardon the pun!

You could easily stay on property with the abundance of activities, food options, great bar and lounges, and just lovely grounds to walk and explore but they also offer trips into town as well.

From a full Irish breakfast to fresh brewed coffee and pastries, it's a wonderful way to start the day.

I stopped here in a pinch (on a holiday when the hotel was closed, no less) looking for a place to stay because I was exhausted from hiking and sleeping in puddles. The owner put me up in a beautiful apartment with a balcony and an amazing view, for a very affordable price. He went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed, including amazing food brought right to my room. If you have any question of where to stay, put this place at the top of the list!

We booked a room with a view and it was really worth paying some extra pennies. It was stunning, just beautiful. Breakfast is good, one day we had buffet, the others a la carte. All ok. Also dinner is eatable but I recommend restaurants in the village. The hotel is clean but sometimes it lacks refinement, but nothing to worry about. I would go back in a heartbeat cause we really spent some nice 4 days there.

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. Casey's is a great spot & I will definitely stay here again should I be in West Cork.
