May be you won´t find a better place in Cork to stay in,.. Unfortunately I hadn't time enough to enjoy more the place (only one night), but if I know it, I would booked for more days. Absolutely clean, really irish breakfast included. Nothing to complain about.

Beautiful little B & B! It's everything you'd want a B & B to be. Just make sure you buy a map of Cork to find it!

Decent size single room with a double bed and excellent bathroom, expansive breakfast options and staff (Kathleen in particular) that couldn't do enough for you - recommendations, ironing, extended check-out etc. Slightly away from the very centre of town, but this is no bad thing unless you're going to struggle walking up a smallish hill. Definitely a hotel rather than a hostel but perfect for a weekend away.close

Good area, not far from the town centre. Seems like a Hotel... with the neighbouring who watch the TV a little strong ! But the place is ok !

According to their own website there is supposed to be Satellite TV and hairdryer in the rooms but there were not. I did query it and understand a dryer was availbable from reception but no Sat TV. Also no shaver socket in the bathroom which was surprising as it was all new. .

Great location to town and very clean and helpful staff. Lovely town wish I had more time to explore. Shame there is not parking - apart from what you can find on the street. Bathrooms are always busy, but nice hot shower

A very pleasant stay, Breakfast was awesome! Very clean and cosy B&B, and more parallel with a hotel vibe. Easy walking distance to the city centre, took us about 10 mins walk.

Received a warm welcome on arrival and free tea/coffee in the dining room. Staff appeared genuinely friendly. Room was listed as 2 bed, but was in fact 3 bed accommodation. Room a good size and very comfortable although bathroom was quite minimal.

Some renovation work going on at the moment which may put some people off as the workers start relatively early in the morning. Also, the outsaide entrance area needs a new light and perhaps an entrance sign - we arrived at night, it was dark and there was no light to see our way, plus the front doorbell didn't work so we were waiting outside for a long time until we phoned up and spoke to the receptionist who came to let us in. Other than this, everything was great. The breakfast was delicious and the rooms very clean and cosy. Thank you!close
