We stayed here for a wedding mid week. At first glance the hotel looked great. Beautiful outside and lobby. When we got to our room we noticed patchwork on the walls and ceiling, cobwebs in the bathroom, and peeling drywall above the shower. Above the bed was a canvas on the ceiling that looks to be covering something up. Furthermore the shower is in a setup that it constantly leaks around the tub. You can see where they layed down caulk to prevent it from spilling out into the bathroom, but after a shower each we were using our two towels to mop it all up. The manager at the bar said people complain about this room all the time. We couldn't believe they would have us in here, it does not feel 5-stars to me. The spa was amazing and I highly recommend the sauna and thermal pool in the morning. The restaurant was also excellent. The servers were very kind.

Receptionists difficult to communicate with on checking in. Poor signage for ramp for luggage. Bartenders and waiting staff had no eye contact. Breakfast receptionist explained continental breakfast options when asked with NO MENTION OF THE VARIOUS HOT BREAKFAST on their menu! I felt no-one cared, no feeling of hospitality. Pity. Pretty setting in spring. (But can you walk the 18 acres? no signs. )

Had the most enjoyable spa treatment today , first time here and it’s fabulous spa with loads to offer , spotlessly clean, staff so friendly and welcoming. Thoroughly enjoyed my hot stone massage. Pure bliss . 10/10

Just payed a visit for lunch, the meal was nice. Service initially was good for taking our order and bringing our main course,but a wedding party arrived in the middle of the meal, and the staff understandably seemed overwhelmed. The party was rightly joyous and in a celebratory mood, but the noise level was so high we couldn't even have a conversation. Had to find a staff member to pay had contemplated desert and coffee but had to leave. Might be more appropriate to have a designated area if there is an expected influx of guests or have casual diners in another section if a large group is expected.

Went to the Spa yesterday and booked the wellness package! Very good experience. Lennon was excellent. Lady on check in very friendly. Very relaxing. I would highly recommend the Spa for a relaxing day with friends.

On the second night of my two night stay at the Maryborough, the roof began to leak during the middle of the night from two separate locations. The leak was quite substantial and one of which completely soaked my bag and belongings which I required for meeting a work client the next day. When I queried this at checkout out they didn’t seem too surprised as a couple leaks had occurred during the heavy rain that night. Then when I followed up with the general manager he said next time your in Cork we will offer you a “special rate”. I didn’t expect to have to pay full price for a stay which was unacceptable and very inconvenient, never even considered returning. This was more than an inconvenience and greatly impacted my business trip.

I had just a one night staying, so I can't tell anything about the hotel position, a part that it is at the center of a beautiful park. Concerning the structure, I found very nice the building from the outside and the reception area. During the night the silence was amazing, a part at 6 AM, when the eating system piping started making any kind of noise. The dinner has been delicious and the breakfast even better.

Mixed Experience ⭐⭐⭐ We visited Maryborough multiple times for lunch and afternoon tea, and our experience was a mix of highs and lows. The front desk staff left a positive impression with their welcoming smiles, professionalism, and well-groomed appearance—exactly what you'd expect from a 4-star hotel. However, the bar service left much to be desired. The overall uniform of some waiters appeared unkempt, indicating a lack of proper management. It was disconcerting to see some staff members wandering around without apparent tasks. The slow service further highlighted the need for better organization. During our afternoon tea, we noticed an issue with the flowers on our table—they had visible mold. This is an easily addressable problem that should be promptly rectified to maintain the hotel's standards. On a brighter note, the food served during our visits was excellent, and the presentation was top-notch. Despite the shortcomings in other areas, the culinary experience was a standout positive. In summary, Maryborough has the potential to provide a consistently high-quality experience, but attention to details in service and maintenance is crucial for achieving and maintaining a 4-star standard.

Such a beautiful place. Very clean and the grounds are gorgeous. We had a room with a sleeper sofa for our toddler and it was perfect. The room was very clean and my toddler loved playing in the bathtub. The breakfast is amazing and I loved how they offered smoothies. Another plus was the staff was very accommodating to our 3 year old. On our first night, an employee in the bar area asked my son how he was doing and my son said he wasn't happy. The employee got him ice cream with sprinkles and it was a really nice touch. We would most definitely stay again.

We did not stay here, but I visited with a friend on Monday for afternoon tea and our experience was wonderful. We made a mistake when booking and didn't state that we wanted two vegan options rather than one, but this was no problem to them, they just told us it would take a little extra time (perfectly fine with us!) When the food came there was one small issue which was very quickly rectified and dealt with in such a professional and kind manner. It really makes a difference. That's how you do hospitality! The food itself was delicious and beautifully presented. I believe it was Aisha and Brian who dealt with us and they were both fantastic. Thank you, we will be back for sure.

We had stayed in Maryborough previously, but this was the first time with our 10 week old son and first night away with him too. The hotel cater to all our needs by supplying a cot and a mini fridge in the room. We arrived later than planned and decided to order room service instead of eating in the restaurant. I was slightly disappointed missing out on the restaurant as food is always impeccable there, but I was pleasantly surprised how good the food with room service was. Next morning we brought our son on his first swim and again staff were so helpful. We also avail of the electric charger for the car at the hotel which provided us with a full charge overnight. Overall I would highly recommend staying here due to quality service provided by the staff and the amazing food whether that's by room service or in the restaurant.

Stayed at property for a wedding the place is absolutely georgios, the food was good and the service was excellent, the rooms need some work. The spa is definitely a must see and you have to spend some ti.e there

Had lunch with friends .I had the seafood open sandwich. Not great the smoked salmon was nice but the prawns and crab were very disappointing. Sea food should be fresh and not smothered with sauce so that you can't taste the fish.

Great meeting spot for a coffee or a drink. Spacious areas around the bar. The food here is really high quality. Staff super attentive... maybe slightly too much so. Parking is limited. Nevertheless, it is a place that manages to be classy and chilled at the same time. Always worth a visit. If you were a spy you could listen in on the numerous informal business meetings going on. Great spot for a bot of people watching. You heard it here.

We booked the deal spa + one night stay with diner and breakfast. The spa treatment was amazing, the area pre treatment was a bit crowded, but you can see the place is very well maintained. The room was spacious and had everything we needed, including a lovely view to the garden. The diner was very good, four meal course, a lot of option to choose. Staff was kind. The breakfast was good, not many options in the buffet, but everything was tasty.

I love it, the food is amazing and the beds were super comfy. I went for a wedding there a few weeks back and I loved it I had the chicken caeser salad and it was one of the best caeser salads I’ve ever had. I highly recommend this hotel for u if ur on ur holidays in Ireland

Rooms are spotless but very noisy late into the jight and early morning as there is no air conditioning and the heat means the windo needs to be open. Got a chowder with one sliver of salmon put on top and there wasn't another single piece of fish in it. Charged 5 for hand cut chips with skins still on that turned out to be freezer chips with no skin. Looked for night porter, ringing advised line for half an hour and got no response so that was great service too on the first night. Bar man is very nice though and food from restaurant is good compared to bar area. Gardens are very nice too.

The service ,spa and food is nothing short of excellent. The room on the other hand wasn’t dissimilar to that of a travel lodge. We had paid extra for an upgraded room so I wouldn’t want to know what the economy rooms are like. We stayed in room 128. We stayed here after our wedding 5 years ago and had returned for our anniversary.I was a bit surprised to see that there was literally no noticeable changes made to anything in the hotel. In conclusion, the Maryborough is largely propped up by its food, service and spa. On the other hand the room isn’t even close to that of a 5 star experience, especially when our room was 300 euro for one night.

We recently had our wedding at the Maryborough Hotel. From start to finish our experience was really positive. Ellis the wedding coordinator was incredibly helpful, kind, accommodating, supportive and efficient. She is incredibe at her job. On the day of the wedding we felt soo well looked after and so many of our guests commented on the brilliant service and food. Brian and Donagh  were so helpful on the day and checked in with us regularly to ensure all was going okay. We would highly recommend

Had a fantastic afternoon having lunch and a spa treatment. The staff were friendly, helpful and very professional they made the day very relaxing and enjoyable

A truly delightful overnight stay with breakfast at this beautiful, relaxing hotel. The bedroom was lovely, the grounds of the hotel with trees and flowers were so peaceful and beautiful. The staff couldn't be better. They were friendly and helpful. All of the staff on Reception were excellent and so courteous. Johannes was so polite and helpful and with such personality. My only complaint was that food in the bar was rather expensive. We will definitely come back. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this elegant, lovely hotel. Anthony and Mary Redmond.

Bed was comfortable 8/10 Spa 8/10 simply because I couldn't get a massage booked and when I finally checked in it closed 30mins after, but was still nice to use for 20 mins, the gym sauna, pool, and steam room were open after No a/c- it was unseasonably warm in the 80s this wk.. kept the door open and got bit by mosquitoes.. Location 4/10, was a distance from cork Hotel looks cute in pictures, but isn't just the 200yr old estate..this place caters to business groups, and has a larger "new" building built onto it. They really need to paint and generally maintain a little better. Wear was seen on all the walls, carpet, ceilings, scuffed doors, tables, chairs etc. Breakfast was included and was above average 6/10

Just bk from a 2 night stay ..your hotel should b a 5 star ...we stayed in room 123 ...with a balcony..room so big and everything u need your staff are the nicest I've ever come across..from Martin Kevin conner ..to the cleaning lady to the beautiful spa and front of house .made u feel more like family then a customer...the restaurant manager even got us a table when he was very busy can't thank yous enough and will definitely return and tell people about your hotel

Had a fantastic experience. My husband and I went for dinner for my birthday. Fantastic food and just brilliant service completely relaxing .One issue I had was the sanitary situation in ladies.I told the manager and he immediately got onto housekeeping. Its a lovely treat would highly recommend Marlborough House.

I went to the spa last Sunday morning for a massage and facial, and it was the most relaxing experience. Lorraine was amazing and I will definitely be back. Highly recommend. Thanks to all the team for helping me start my week feeling so refreshed.

I spent a wonderful morning today at the spa. It was my first time there and it was beautiful. I had an amazing facial, it was incredible. My facialist, Lucy was fantastic and I'll definitely go again.

Staff were fantastic and so great with the kids. It's a gorgeous place and offers really good facilities. The spa and thermal suite were exceptional.

Went for afternoon tea. What a great experience. Went to the bar where we were greeted by very attentive staff. Everyone in the bar area were so relaxed and enjoying the ambience of their surroundings.

Myself and my husband booked in to use the spa the day after Stephens Day and the customer service and communication from beginning to end was fantastic. They really made our spa experience truly luxurious and Lucy who was my massage therapist went over and beyond to make me feel comfortable and relaxed. I will definitely go back and would recommend this experience to anyone! Thank you so much.

Only stayed for one night but would loved to have stayed more. The staff were an absolute credit to the hotel couldn't be more helpful and friendly. The food is second to none its some of the nicest food I've ever eaten. I've mentioned in several other reviews that Aldridge Lodge in Wexford is the nicest meal in the country I've ever eaten in. I can hand on heart maryborough is on par with that. If your in cork and want an experience you won't forget I highly recommend here.

Delighted with my spa day in Maryborough Hotel. Me and my friends each had a massage and we were so well looked after. Erin was fantastic. Then we headed for a lunch and few cocktails in the bar and it was delicious. All staff were lovely from start to finish. The suite room, where I stayed for the night was something out of this world. I'd recommend Maryborough Hotel and Spa to anyone looking for a bit of me-time, pampering and catching up with good friends.

Next level amazing! One of the best hotel stays in Ireland. Absolutely faultless from the setting, to the room, the staff and the food and the spa is so good. There was a wedding on when we arrived so was concerned we would not be priority but it was the exact opposite and the team went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The bar staff couldn’t have been nicer and we had great banter. Just what you want when staying in Cork. If I could give it more stars I would. Of course hospitality was hit hardest with COVID so our expectations were not high but this hotel has gone above and beyond. You will not regret a stay here

Great hotel, but most importantly excellent staff. They have all been exceptionally helpful and attentive. I asked for an adapter and housekeeping and both were knocking at my door in less than a 3 minutes. The gym is modern (pretty small but has everything you need), not too busy and the spa is great. Restaurant is also very good and great service there as well. Everything you need is nearby. Overall very happy with my stay!

Lovely hotel with nice mature garden areas. We had an afternoon tea which was delicious. One person had a coeliac-friendly afternoon tea and it was very similar to the standard one. I had requested a table in the garden room but we weren't able to avail of that as they only serve afternoon teas there at the weekend. Our server was very attentive and friendly, and even offered to take some photos for us.

This hotel was outstanding. Myself and my newly wedded wife came to the hotel for the 1st part of our honeymoon. We loved every minute of our stay. The spa and the food was 1st class. And also, the reception staff couldn't do enough for us, they were brilliant. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is planning a stay in Cork. Definitely 5 stars from me and my wife, they deserve it. We will definitely come back to this hotel again soon Simon & Becky (England)

Lovely quite ,very comfortable hotel . Modern and chic whilst still holding the original house and general old fashioned entrance . Staff pleasant.. Just had light refreshments but all was lovely . Super clean hotel

What can I say about the standards of excellence and warmth of this hotel and the staff of the hotel that hasn't already been said! The hotel is a fine hotel on the edge of the city. The grounds are lovely and secluded and leafy. The spa in the hotel is possibly the best I've experienced throughout Ireland. The rooms are very comfortable and the food is very good indeed. But what makes your stay in the hotel exceptional is the warmth and care that the staff go to to ensure you have a pleasurable experience and attention to the finest details. It was not the first time we have stayed here and would say the same thing about our previous experiences as we did about this one. The extra this time was we were attending our daughters wedding and the feedback from the guests of the wedding echoed our own. They go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your stay here. Thanks for the lovely time Clare, Saoirse, Conor and a special thanks to Ellis and especially to Xhavier from Valencia. Shane thanks for the lift when we were let down by the taxi. We cannot thank you enough for looking after us so well.

This was a nice stay. We were only there for one night, unfortunately. The hotel is a bit dated, but we didn't mind. It felt very welcoming and comfortable. My wife enjoyed the pool.

AMAZING hospitality!! My husband and I came for our honeymoon and stayed in the old part of the hotel, though the amount of stairs were annoying, the staff helped in every way possible! Breakfast was pretty good but dinner was super delicious! Spa was absolutely incredible, lovely facilities! If we are ever back in cork we will stay again.

I stayed in Maryborough hotel for 4 nights and I must say it was an awesome experience from the time I checked in to checkout. The staff was super polite helpful and went beyond their duty. Clearly they know customer service to the core. Joannes es was awesome when I checked out . There was a wedding but I was well looked after. Breakfast was quick and fantastic .

We had our wedding at the Maryborough last week and we cannot speak highly enough of the hotel and staff. Everyone was so helpful and accommodating and did their utmost to make the day as enjoyable and seamless as possible. Every staff member we dealt with went above and beyond to ensure we had the best day possible. The venue, grounds, food, atmosphere were all outstanding.

We stayed at the Maryborough as a couple for a wedding. The food was fantastic and the staff were lovely. The hotel was well decorated and set up for Christmas so it felt festive and special. The orangery where the wedding was held was beautiful. Our room included access to the spa which was well equipped and well maintained. Initially we’d had a room that was a bit noisy due to its location in the hotel, however as soon as I mentioned this to the staff on reception they couldn’t have been more helpful, offering us a choice of two lovely new rooms which were perfect. Johannes on reception in particular was friendly and professional. I would recommend the Maryborough.

The staff at were incredible! They took care of our every needs so efficiently and went above the call of duty to ensure we had a perfect stay. The atmosphere is brilliant and having such a great friendly team that made everything so easy was what made this hotel exceptional. Thankyou so much for having us I can’t recommend this hotel enough.

I must say…Shane McShortall was a most amazing host. So caring and all the staff including Luke in the bar . Food amazing , service Amazing. Room beautiful and quiet! Thank you Shane…. You always had the Midas touch! We are coming back again!! Top class

I spent 3 nights at the hotel with my mum and 3 sisters. We were visiting from England to see family and to spend time with eachother. The hotel was faultless. The staff were incredible and nothing was too much trouble. We had an amazing stay and would thoroughly recommend the Maryborough.

Maryborough gave us a wonderful experience, the atmosphere is lovely, the staff are very attentive and outstanding. Staff went above and beyond to return an electronic item which we left behind. Absolutely would stay there again and looking forward to it! :)
