Our stay at the Avondale B&B was wonderful. The house is charming and so is Dolores. She served a lovely full Irish breakfast, and our room was especially nice, with plenty of space, privacy, comfort, and skylights for great light. While not the closest B&B to downtown, it's an easy, straight-line walk, and also has easy access to the bus... More

We really enjoyed our stay at Avondale B&B. We arrived in Cork by train and no trouble getting to Avondale via a short city bus ride using Dolores' clear instructions. (The location was central though,so we otherwise walked to and from shopping and eating downtown.) Our room on the third floor which a twin and double bed was spacious and... More

Dolores the hostess here was wonderful! We shared a lot of laughs with her. The location was ideal for walking into the city and whilst the rooms weren't the biggest (not the most important factor in the scheme of things) they were very clean and tidy. She was extremely helpful with directions and advice and the breakfast was plentiful and... More

This is very nice B&B located close to the city center (15 minute walk at most). Dolores is very hospitable and attentive to the guests. She also cooks very tasty and bountiful breakfast. The room we stayed in was on a smaller side but was comfortable never the less.

Dolores was so hospitable! The house was immaculate, the beds were comfortable, the showers were hot, and the breakfast was amazing. It was easy to walk from the B&B to the shopping, bars, and market area. She also had the best hairdryer of our trip. :)

Dolores really makes the difference when you stay at the Avondale B&B. Dolores and hubby John offer you a great welcome and plenty of helpful advice too. The location is good, yet not really easy to find unless you have the exact co ordinates in your GPS. It is a level 12 to 18 minutes walk into town where you... More

I had a lovely stay with Delores at her B&B. This was my first B&B experience and it couldn't have been any better! I joined some friends that had already made reservations, I emailed and got a quick response that our now group of 4 could be accommodated (and even all in 1 room!) We called our room the Cinderella... More

We arrived during rush hour traffic, and after a quick call, Delores was so sweet, she waited in the driveway for us. After a lovely greeting and some local info, we walked to town centre to dine at one of her recommendations. Couldn't have been better. Our room was large and over looked the garden, very quiet at night. Full... More

I've always been a bit Leary of B&B's and flew into Cork to join my wife who had been in Cork for two weeks at Delores and John's place on the banks of the Lee River. It truly was like coming home. Delores is a perfect host with a perpetual smile and always a cheery lilt to her greeting after... More
