Hungry Hill Lodge and Campsite — Hotel in West Cork

Having stayed on well over thirty touring sites in our caravan since we retired there have only been two that we have been glad to have put in our rear view mirror this site was one of them. On the face of it should have been an enjoyable stay nice open grass site, 10amp ehu, good wi-fi and a warm if disingenuous welcome from the new dutch owners We were charged 30 euro per night for a pitch in early June for a caravan and 2 adults making Hungry Hill the most expensive site we have stayed on in sixteen years caravaning throughout Europe, far exceeding the 20 and 23 euro we had previously paid in Ireland So what do you get for your money at Hungry Hill the pictures lead you to believe there is a nice view the reality is there is no view at all, A few formal pitches mostly used for permanently sited dilapidated caravans and a scattering of random hardstandings with tents motorhomes and caravans all mixed together, the asthetics further diminished by the addition of a static caravan and associated shipping containers used by the owners and a couple of access roads going nowhere inparticular, There is a basic tiolet block with a few tiolets and a shower a washup area plus a kitchen for campers, The main feature of this campsite is a comunal firepit, when downwind you will find yourself having to close all doors and windows in an effort to keep out the choking smoke We were allotted a hardstanding parallel to and adjoining an access road (no choice was offered) between the toilet block and the chemical waste disposal with every person and vehicle passing within 2 feet of our caravan but well placed to listen to the owners guard dog barking at every new arrival If like us you book ahead you will be required to pay the full amount weeks before you arrive and a hefty deposit weeks before that, We paid 800 euro for a 4 week stay and it was made abundantly clear by the owners that already having had our money customer care was not on their agenda, having our electric disconnected for grass cutting and not reconnected on 2 occasions whilst we were out causing our fridge to defrost did not feel like an oversite. We were in all probability their best customer during our 4 week stay and yet we were treated with contempt. We won't...

We just returned from an incredible 10-day trip at Hungry Hill, and we can’t recommend it enough, regardless of whether you’re with family or seeking a peaceful retreat. The atmosphere is so relaxed and welcoming that everyone feels at home. Our children just loved being here. ||The facilities were a huge highlight. After a long day of adventure, there’s nothing better than a hot shower, and the showers here were consistently spotless. The restrooms and washing-up areas were also cleaned to an incredibly high standard every single day, which made our stay so much more comfortable.||A special mention must go to the charming stone cottage on site. While we were in our tent, we got a peek at the cottage and it looked absolutely perfect—a cozy, rustic retreat that would be ideal for anyone looking for a bit more comfort and privacy. It's great to know there's another option for a future trip!||The location is a massive selling point. Hungry Hill Campsite is perfectly situated for exploring the best of the surrounding area. We spent our days taking scenic drives and discovering some of the best scenery in the country, with jaw-dropping views around every corner. We also took advantage of the excellent access roads to go on some fantastic hikes and to find brilliant spots for kayaking. The local waterways offer some of the most serene and beautiful paddles we’ve ever experienced.|Being able to get to so many different types of activities so easily made our trip feel packed with adventure, without a lot of hassle. It’s truly a perfect base camp for any kind of explorer.||We loved being able to grab some delicious Dutch French fries available on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings. It was a perfect treat after a day of hiking! And the lovely Claire’s coffee bar open on Saturdays and Sundays was a lifesaver, providing a great start to our weekend mornings.||Thanks Daniel and Jamie. Your genuine warmth and helpfulness made our stay so much more enjoyable. We’re already planning...
