The Parador de Ferrol was once a manor house and overlooks the port and Ria of Ferrol. It is a seafaring area and the marine theme is continued in the decor of the parador with an interior displaying nautical elements, world maps, and navigational instruments. The main staircase has an ancient lamp taken from a boat and maritime motifs are abundant in all the living rooms.

The nearby beaches of Doninos, Cobas and Valdovino are ideal places for swimming and windsurfing and the Natural Park of Fragas do Eume offers many excursions either by foot or on a mountain bike. Other activities in the area are golf and rowing.

The spacious bedrooms are decorated ochre and dark shades. Some of the rooms have balconies with magnificent views over the port. This parador has 27 twin bedded rooms, 6 rooms with a double bed, 3 single rooms and a suite.

All the rooms have a private bathroom, direct dial telephone, Canal + and satellite television an in room safe and a mini bar.

The restaurant offers a wide variety of exquisite Galician cooking including "Pulpo a la mugardesa" which is octopus with potatoes; "Rape a la corunesa" a fish dish from nearby La Coruna and "Sopa ferrolana" a local seafood soup. The soup is listed last because the local custom is for soup to be served at the end of the meal. In addition food is usually served warm and only hot if specially requested.
