Youghal has a surprising amount of restaurants and bars which are reasonably priced. It is in an idylic location, perfect for anyone looking for a relaxing break with family or friends.
Review by Linda Harrington from Dublin
Youghal is a great town, it has everything you will need for your stay in cork. there are supermarkets and plenty of value for money restaurants. Walk down the side streets and you will be pleasantly surprised with little `hidden` shops and some super eating houses with wonderful views across the water. The only bad point i found was trying to get parking, it can get very congested, but again i suggest trying the side streets and you should get somewhere or alternatively if its a fine day park just outside the town and enjoy a nice stroll and enjoy the `full magic` of youghal....!!
Review by Malcolm Mason from Stirling
I have been to Youghal on several occasions before, but these have all been lads only trips connected to our rugby club. There are plenty of pubs there to accomodate all types of tastes, from the traditional little darkened pub to the big, modern bars with TV screens everywhere for sports, with nightclub upstairs.
I would also recommend it for family holidays too, as there is plenty for kids to do, and the beach looks like it would be a good day out in the summer, although I have now been in the sea there twice. Once in March and once in December. Even with the Gulf Stream, I would recommend you wait until the summer for swimming.
Review by John McIntyre from Bantry
Drop into the Moby Dick pub. The landlord is a mine of information on the film starring Gregory Peck "moby Dick". His father was an extra in the film and collected many photo's of the event which are displayed in the pub. Ask to see his file of newspaper cuttings. The film was shot in Youghal.
Review by karen Lloyd-Peate from Swords, Co. Dublin
Yougal is a scenic town with nice restaurants, although some quite expensive. It has a beautiful beach for walking and should be a huge attraction for hill walkers as it has roads resembling san fransisco.
Review by Jodie Johnson from Nottingham
We stayed in Youghal 2 years ago with friends and decided to take our gran who is 83 years old and as always wanted to visit Ireland, in particular Dublin, we persuaded her that she would prefer Youghal and thought that the appartment that we stayed in last time would be perfect for us as it is all on one level with no steps to worry about. She had a wonderful time, in fact we all did, we decided to book a hire car this time so was able to travel about a lot more this time.
Youghal was undergoing a lot of road works when we visited so we struggled to get down the main street much but did manage a few times and had 2 lovely meals, one in The Red Store and our favourite was in McCarthy's (which was also partly closed due to re-furb, but that didn't spoil our night), the food was fantastic!
We had 2 good afternoons in Perks Amusement Park which was perfect for the days when we had been out all morning and wanted somewhere local to go in the evening, the bowling alley is great fun and the staff are very helpful.
Our only disappontment was that we didn't manage to find Gran a wealthy Irish husband to bring back with her!
We will definately be back for a visit soon X
Review by Susan Beal from Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada
Enjoyed Youghal very much. Very scenic around lighthouse drive. St. Margaret's Collegiate Church - wonderful. Food very good in restaurants - but for Canadians expensive. Pub food very good and more resonable. Good base to travel to other towns and cities.
Youghal is well marked on the highways. Market day was great fun. Haviang a new Tesco was a treat.
Would be very happy to return for another trip.
