Set in Cork, less than 1 km from Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral, River View Apartment Suite offers recently renovated accommodation with free WiFi and a garden. With garden views, this accommodation features a patio. The apartment has facilities for disabled guests.

A beautiful apartment completely stocked with everything (and more) for a relaxing stay. Bernadette, the host is most accommodating and explains the aspects of the apartment very well. I was flabbergasted by the amount of food left for my use. I’ve stayed in many apartments but have never received such a high level of service. The setting along the River is very picturesque with a lovely ornate bridge right across the street. Cork is a lovely town with a rich history and extremely nice people. Do visit!
