“Fine stay in a typical traditional pub”
Location was great in the middle of the village - we walked to the harbour before supper. The village was very busy on a Saturday night. We initially went out to find somewhere to eat but eventually came back to the Schooner and had supper watching the hurling local derby between Waterford and Cork. Very friendly crowd in the lovely traditional pub.

Good location in the centre of town, easy walk from Sea Church venue. Great cliff and beach walks around Ballycotton. Owner and staff were friendly and attentive. Dinner and breakfast were freshly cooked and nicely served.

We had a lovely time here, the owner was great even though we had said we wanted to eat here, he mentioned the other places. He gave us lots of information about Ballycotton, and both the evening meal and breakfast was wonderful. Highly recommend this great location and B&B.
