I stayed in the Harbour View Hotel Apartments with my husband and two kids (teenagers) just before Christmas 09. We arrived for our week stay on Friday afternoon, greeted by very friendly receptionist. She explained opening hours for the gym, breakfast times if we liked, lunch, dinner and also what I found extremely helpful was that she gave me and my daughter brochures for the beautician who does all sorts of treatments to keep us busy, and then showed us to our apartment.
We stayed in a two bedroom apartment which was beautifully furnished. The main bedroom en suite bathroom had the most amazing power shower. The twin room was very spacious each bed has a wardrobe so plenty of space. The separate bathroom has the same power shower and also a very relaxing Jacuzzi bath. The kitchen is perfectly laid out and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need for a stay in a self catering apartment!
That evening we ate in the hotel “Perch Bar”. Everything on the menu only €10!!! As anyone knows with a family of 4 or more this is more than reasonable as normally we could spend up to €60 on a main course alone. The bar staff were very attentive, frequently checking if we had enough sauces, drinks ect.
We did take advantage of the leisure centre most days for a quick swim or work out. The girls were very accommodating to provide swim hats and towels when we forgot them, and helped show us the gym equipment we not familiar with.
Our stay in the Harbour View Hotel Apartments was very enjoyable and refreshing. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone considering a visit to Schull, and will most definitely stay there again.
