The Shandon Bells Guest House is a lovely bed and breakfast owned and operated by Hilary and Malachy Farren. It is located on the Western Road, a main east-west street on the south side of Cork. It is directly across the street from the entrance to University College Cork. I just spent four days and nights at the Shandon Bells... more

After leaving the B&B in Dublin where we were treated just like family. We were extremely disappointed with the hospitality we received (or should I say didn't receive) at Shandon Bells. The hostess that served us breakfast in the morning didn't have much of a personality. Our room was at the very top of the house and it was extremely... more

I called Shandon Bells directly three weeks ahead of my trip to book two nights. I was quoted a good price on the phone. When it came time to leave, I was told I owed 30 Euro more than the price I had been told over the phone. The woman argued with me and would not accept the rate I... more

Hilary and her team were excellent and very friendly. The town centre is only a few minutes walk away and yet Western Road is not too busy. We would definitely stay again. more

We stayed at Shandon Bells while visiting our son in Cork. We truly enjoyed our stay. Hillary was a very gracious hostess and helped us in finding places to eat and directions to our daily destinations. Our room was clean and comfortable and the full Irish breakfasts each morning were delicious! The house is a beautiful old house which they... more

I stayed at this B&B for 5 nights and found it to be a real home-from-home. The owners Hilary and Malachy and their daughter Nicole were very friendly and kindness itself. The room was clean and comfortable. Choice for breakfast was all that one could wish for. The location was ideal for walking into Cork city. Also very convenient for... more

The Shandon Bells B&B is FANTASTIC - the most friendly, accommodating couple and their lovely 15yr old daughter make you feel part of the family (if you want to), or leave you be if you prefer. GREAT LOCATION with a pub called Reidys just 2mins away that has won the award for Best Irish Pub just last year, with all... more
