Charming stay with a view!

We loved our stay at the Bella Vista Hotel in Cobh! The location is perfect — just a short walk to the iconic Postcard Row and right near the waterfront. From our room, we had a stunning view of St. Colman’s Cathedral and could even hear the bells ringing, which added a magical touch to our experience. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, making us feel right at home. The room was comfortable, clean, and full of charm. If you’re visiting Cobh and want a cozy, scenic place to stay with easy access to everything, Bella Vista is an excellent choice. We’d definitely stay here again!

From checking in and making sure our bags were delivered to meals to advice on what to do and see - every single staff member was friendly, efficient and welcoming! The hike up the hill from town is steep but to get to this lovely home away from home, it was very worth it! Can’t recommend enough.

Lovely stay

The staff were super friendly and we were given a free upgrade which was very cool since it's only ever happened once to me. The only negative thing was we ate in the restaurant and I think my chicken was cooked in a pan with fish (or which had fish cooked previously and possibly wasn't cleaned thoroughly enough) since there was a strong fish taste from the chicken.

Extremely kind employees. Half the hotel is renovated and the other half has old charm. There is a Chinese food restaurant on-site however very walkable to other restaurants. We had an excellent view in our room. The parking lot/smoking area was a bit loud and made it hard to sleep at times.

The staff was awesome and place was great. Views fantastic. Lots of hills to walk but worth the walk. Must be European thing but no wash clothes in bathroom but none of my hotels have had them. One downside is although there is off site parking it is a difficult parking lot. Overall i was very pleased
