History & Story
Hayfield Manor was originally built by the Musgraves, a family who were recognised as Merchant Princes of Cork. The Hayfield estate was purchased by hoteliers, Joe and Margaret Scally in the early 1990s, and with the house in disrepair, the Scally family rebuilt the property and, in 1996, they opened Hayfield Manor as Cork city’s first five star hotel.

Residents of Hayfield Manor experience exceptional hospitality from staff attuned to providing memorable personal service. Hayfield Manor offers a choice of luxurious accommodation with each spacious bedroom individually designed and furnished. Cork is particularly recognised for its thriving food scene, with a host of outstanding artisan food producers making Cork the gourmet capital of Ireland.
