Dunmore House Hotel

Clonakilty Bay, West Cork

Dunmore House Hotel offers a unique, Michelin-guide recommended, dining experience in West Cork. A family run hotel, Dunmore House Hotel sits in a scenic location, on the beautiful shores of Clonakilty Bay.

The O’Donovan / Barrett family have owned the property since 1934 and opened their bar and hotel business in 1948. Peter Barrett is the fourth generation of the family to manage the hotel. With experience working in hospitality in Switzerland, Hong Kong and the USA, Peter believes that what makes Dunmore House Hotel so successful is its good old fashioned Irish welcome.

Dining is central to the Dunmore House experience. Locally sourced products are an essential part of the ethos of the restaurant. The fish served in the restaurant is locally caught in Irish waters, the organic vegetables are grown in the hotel’s Ocean Garden, just a few steps from the kitchen, and of course, the beef is locally sourced Irish Hereford Prime. “Our produce, quality and welcome is unmatched.”

Manuel Canapini is the head chef at Dunmore House Hotel, 11 years of working in this beautiful location in West Cork has proven to him that the quality of Irish Hereford Prime beef is second to none. The restaurant offers Irish Hereford Prime sirloin steak, served with mash and fillet steak served with seasonal vegetables. On a Sunday, as part of their Sunday roast, the restaurant serves striploin steak. Manuel believes that the best way to cook an Irish Hereford Prime steak is to keep it as simple as possible, to let the flavour shine through.

“Hospitality is a very important part of what we do here and real Irish hospitality isn’t seen as much anymore, there aren’t as many family-run hotels.”

“The best way for me to cook an Irish Hereford Prime steak is to keep it as simple as possible, just a little sizzle.”
Manuel knows that he can rely on Irish Hereford Prime to always offer great, consistent quality and flavoursome beef. “I strongly recommend Irish Hereford Prime beef, it’s just amazing.”
