SiviweSouth AfricaThe views, the cleanliness and the staff friendliness. It felt very homely.
We thought the breakfast was a bit limited but its beautifully and tastefully prepared.
LizagresseSouth AfricaEnjoyable, but expected more.
Our room was spacious with a beautiful view of the ocean. The bathroom was well stocked. The bedding was of high quality and the bed very comfortable.
The room needs a bit of an update. The portraits were all hanging…

- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether breakfast is in the rate or added at checkout, and what time it runs.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.

What time is check-in and check-out at The Clarendon - Bantry Bay?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 12:00 PM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does The Clarendon - Bantry Bay allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at The Clarendon - Bantry Bay?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does The Clarendon - Bantry Bay have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Is breakfast included at The Clarendon - Bantry Bay?

Does The Clarendon - Bantry Bay have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does The Clarendon - Bantry Bay have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book The Clarendon - Bantry Bay?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
