We thoroughly enjoyed this little off of the beaten path of tourism. Goleen was so charming. We very much enjoyed the restaurant and the nearby pubs. So clean and darling. Quite the worthwhile find. more

We stopped here for a few days during our holiday in Ireland. A pleasant place to stop in a quiet village near the south west tip of Ireland. A restaurant with rooms, where the food was good and staff very nice and welcoming. The rooms were ok, nothing special, but were clean and comfortable with a lovely view over the... more

What a gem of a place. The food was excellent especially the Collops(lamb chops) and scallops. So fresh, so tender. The staff so very attentive, helpful and pleasing. Waking up in the morning in our very comfortable room with the sun blazing through the picture window reflecting in the harbour's water. I rate this the most idyllic in Ireland. more

Ate in the restaurant. Staff were too busy being busy to look after customers properly. We had a booking and were left standing in the lobby for about ten minutes before anybody came near us, alongside a couple who simply wanted to pay their bill. When we finally got seated we were left for about another fifteen minutes before we... more

The room was basic but quite adequate and we enjoyed watching the cove, tide in or out. Breakfast in the AM was satisfying and the lady who served was charming. During the night our room smelled horribly of sewer to the point that it interfered with much needed sleep. One of the lowest points of the trip. Very unfriendly reception... more

What can I say about this B&B? If you are looking for good food, nice wine, a warm bed and friendly people on your trip then make one of your stops at the Heron's Cove B&B. It is so nice there we are going back for 2 nights in June. more

This was the only bad meal we had during our 2-weeks trip to Ireland. I had the lamb chops, which were 3 small ones and very fatty. DH had the sirloin steak with butter and garlic sauce, which turned out to be so garlic-y, so overpowering, that he could not eat more than a first bite. Nobody ever asked us... more

Heron's Cove is off a small road in the tiny village of Goleen. We are a family of 5 so we booked two rooms but in hindsight we could have fit in her one family room with an extra rollaway bed. Heron's Cove is a true B&B, quaint on a lovely small harbor (when the tide is in, that is!).... more
