My girlfriend and I stayed one night and it was an absolute pleasurable experience. The room was clean and comfortable and the people were very welcoming! I would absolutely stay there again! more

Now, I have to honest and say that I didn't stay here but I had an excellent experience with Helena McSweeney, the proprietor. We were to fly into Heathrow from Montana and then travel on to Cork. We knew we would be exhausted and I checked very carefully into B&B's in Cork City. Comparing price, location, amenities etc. I settled... more

Stayed here for just one night and I was made to feel at home straight away. I was greeted with a cuppa and biscuits after a long drive and made to feel at home. The breakfast was great and I was allowed to leave my car parked a little longer while I looked around the city before driving on to... more

Having made my reservation on the phone earlier in the day I was making my way to Cork when I received a call from the Achill House B&B. The call was for my credit card details to preserve my room.

As I arrived a bit early for check in, there was not a room for me right away, but Helena's staff didn't just have me sit in the lobby while they provided breakfast to the rest of the guests, they offered me the full... more

The place is spotless - and the breakfast was quite superb, Our party of 8 ranged in age from 3 to 65 and we... more

After uneven experiences at other accommodations in the UK, we had an excellent one at the Achill House. Close to the centre of the city and central access to highways out of town. Four of us stayed in a comfortable room on the top floor: clean, quiet and private. Great breakfasts that filled us up so we were ready to... more

It is about a 10 minute walk from the city centre, and has the advantage of being is a fairly quiet part of the city. The facilities are good, with en suite washrooms, and the... more
