Our hostess, Ellen, was very gracious and friendly. She gave us helpful tips on sightseeing around Cork. There is only on-street parking in front of the B&B and you must pay to park until 4:30pm every day. However we were gone until after 5p both days sightseeing and were able to get a spot right in front of the B&B.... more

Stayed in this B & B on a work trip to Cork region in the beginning of June 2008. Location is ok, only a walk away from Cork city and very nearby to the railway station. Room was average, a bit small and the noise from the street full of traffic came in especially when I had to open the... more

It was a family run business &... more

My husband and I toured Ireland on our honeymoon in August of 2004 and we had the unfortunate bad luck of coming across this place. Close to the bus station and railway station in a sketchy neighborhood, this bug palace was uncomfortable and unkempt. The beds were so old, the springs poked through, the shower was moldy and a breeding... more
