    What an amazing and unique spot to stay in. Despite it being an old house it was very well heated which came in handy during a storm, including hot water bottles provided and a wood fire in the living room! Only a very short walk to the city...

    This house is literally located within Fort Elizabeth. It was a bit confusing at first since we were looking for it near the fort - not within the fort. It is a very special location and very much within the city of Cork and near all town sites,...

    This location was awesome! 10 minute walk to anything in town, pub and coffee shop right outside the front gate, and never felt safer - you're inside a fort! Place was super clean, kitchen and bath modern, and supports the Irish Landmark...

    We loved the Elizabeth Fort. It was such a unique place to stay. My kids loved using the big key to open the fort gates and exploring the fort walls. It was a quick walk into town with lots of pubs, restaurants and shopping. Right around the fort...

    Emailed instructions, staff welcomed us at the gate with keys. Very easy! Met with property manager to give keys back. Really enjoyed being in the middle of the city.

    Very capable and friendly host. Excellent location and accommodations. You stay not near or around but actually in the fort. I would highly recommend it.
