Staff were great! Room was clean, the sink did have a big crack in it which made me slightly nervous but didn’t appear to leak. Our guest information did mention that there was a safe, though I couldn’t find this. The restaurant didn’t appear to be open in the evenings, but we tried the breakfast ...

We stayed here for 3 nights in summer with our 3 kids. It's very good value overall and I would stay here again.

Cork is great. We love coming here with our friends and family when they visit Ireland. It always impresses.

5/5 - Excellent

Take the bus to Blarney Castle, it's easy (2,80E each way). If you're heading back late in the day there may be a bit of a wait for the bus (but there is a pub with wifi right by the bus stop). Blarney Woollen Mills is a worthwhile stop too.
