Nestled in Glengarriff Bay is the picturesque Eccles Hotel & Spa. This historic hotel is just a two-minute stroll away from Glengarriff Harbour and the village centre with quaint craft shops, cafes and pubs. This 250-year-old hotel is in a world of its own in Glengarriff, where the gulf-stream has created a micro-climate that has led to an abundant and exotic environment.

Relax in the spa and unwind in a jacuzzi overlooking Bantry Bay, borrow a bike from Eccles and explore the scenic Beara region or go on a hike in the beautiful Caha mountains. Just an hour’s car journey from Eccles Hotel is the most southernly point of Ireland, Mizen Head, where those brave enough to cross the bridge might spot humpback whales and dolphins in the swell below. 

Complete your stay at Eccles with an incredible three course meal by award-winning chef Eddie Attwell.

Twixmas breaks with breakfast for two start at €160, for bookings go to https://www.eccleshotel.com/.
