An easy commute from Cork City, Youghal, with its magnificent seven kilometre Blue Flag sandy beach, championship golf course, superb fishing on the Blackwater, sea angling and major visitor attractions close by has always been a favourite holiday destination, and now the town has another reason to visit.

The 18th Century Walter Raleigh Boutique Hotel is spectacularly located on the sea front promenade in the famous heritage town of Youghal in East Cork. The gateway to Ireland’s Ancient East.

• Treat yourself to elegant afternoon tea in the Tea Room or relax in the Walter Restaurant Bar for a beautifully prepared lunch or dinner whilst you overlook Youghal Bay. On the first floor you’ll find The Blackwater Seafood and Steak restaurant serving an imaginative and varied a la carte menu on the waterfront, or visit the River Restaurant for less formal dining in a brasserie style restaurant. For larger events and weddings, we also have the magnificent Adelphi Ballroom where we can prepare five course banquets tailored to your own individual tastes.
