This beautiful hotel was opened in 1996. It is located in the heart of Cork Ireland. It was originally owned by Musgrave family the famous Cork Merchants but eventually was bought by the Scully family. The Hayfield Manor soon became the first 5-Star hotel in Cork. The hotel is almost within throwing distance distance of University of Cork and is a nice 10 to 20 minute walk to downtown Cork where there are many nice restaurants, pubs, and shops to visit.
Due to the nice climate and great weather we had while staying in Cork it was very convenient to not have to take taxis or public transportation. The hotel was very nice and the service was excellent. The room decor was not my style but would probably be preferred by my grandparents generation.
