This was a lovely little place to stay. Carol and Arthur were lovely people and very hospitable. I missed breakfast as I had an early start but I'm sure it would have been lovely. My room. Very comfortable and I slept very well in my bed. The place was clean and very homely. Highly recommended 👌🏻

Belvedere House Cork Guest House, hotel in Cork

Belvedere House Cork Guest House is set in Cork, 3 km from Cork City Hall, 3.2 km from Cork Custom House, as well as 3.4 km from Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral.

I stayed at the Belvedere during a previous visit back to Cork so I knew it'd be a great stay. Excellent price and in a very convenient part of the city with close access to bus routes. Being from the area originally, I know my way around, but the easy transport access is certainly beneficial for tourists. Very comfortable rooms, great WiFi and a decently sized TV to keep you entertained on the standard rainy days.

West Beach House -Sea Views, hotel in Cork

Offering inner courtyard views, West Beach House -Sea Views is an accommodation located in Cobh, 500 metres from Cathedral of St. Colman and 5.8 km from Fota Wildlife Park.

This property is in a great location by the sea front in Cobh. We stayed in the studio out the back, and it was very quiet. It was self-contained with a microwave, tea and coffee facilities, crockery etc if you wanted to eat there. It has the feel of an Airbnb in terms of its set up. The breakfast (freshly baked croissants) was left out for us to collect in the morning. We met Michael who was very friendly and their lovely dogs!
