Great location with historic surroundings
Reception good - nice welcoming staff. Great location and good parking below the hotel . Great sea view from our room and a few minutes walk to the railway station for our day trip into Cork. Heritage centre next door worth a visit - a lot more interesting and more to it than it looks from the outside. Ate in the restaurant - service was ok and food was ok but menu not very exciting. Staff could be more attentive as we had to keep asking for things. All Brits please note - at breakfast which was otherwise good - they DON’T DO brown sauce - suggest you bring your own!

Very Nice Stay
The location of this quaint hotel cannot be beat! The staff is super friendly and helpful. The dining room is wonderful and the parking is easy. The rooms are not air conditioned but the breeze through the window is sufficient.
