Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Celtic Ross Hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms, many with great views of the ocean or the lagoon, which is within walking distance. Guests appreciate the hotel's convenient location, a short walk from Rosscarbery's town square and close to attractions like Warren Strand. The hot buffet breakfast, especially the eggs benedict, is a highlight for many; however, some guests have noted that the bathrooms appear dated.
