The room was spacious and had a beautiful view of the valley and Blackwater River. We enjoyed talking with Valerie and Jason. The breakfast was amazing and tasted very fresh. We enjoyed walking down to the river and seeing the cows and goats on their property. We had a wonderful stay here.

Our guesthouse is 30 minutes’ walk from the city centre. It’s an easy 10 mins cycle to Cork or a short bus ride – and there’s a bus stop outside the door. There is car parking onsite, free parking on street suitable for vans and mini-trucks, and space to store your bike if you need it.

Susan and her husband were the most amazing, friendly, and helpful hosts I have ever stayed with. Not only were they always up for a little chat, but also did they offer their help whenever they could, had great advice on what to do and where to go to in the area. The room was newly renovated, lovely, clean, and had a cozy atmosphere. The breakfast was great as well! I would definitely recommend this B&B to anyone visiting the area! :)

    Cheerful capable staff, from reception to cleaners. PEACEFUL – the hotel's by a busy road ten minutes on foot from the centre of Cork but our 4th floor room at the rear was quiet as the countryside. Location can't really be bettered in Cork. (There are a few more central hotels, some cheaper, but they don't really compare.) Food top notch. Our room was spotless. Decor unfussy, airy and easy on the eye. Instantly hot shower. Even the mattress was perfect. I slept 9 hours, straight through.
