“Nice place and good location if you don’t want to be in the very centre of town.”

There was a bit of a problem with the parking which we were not informed about before our stay that we had to move our car to a different car park a few doors down which I was not as comfortable with having the car further out of sight even though there was space in the house car park.

The Spanish? Lady that greeted me on arrival was very friendly. Nice quiet and homely guest house that tricks you into thinking you're in the country. Not the centre of Cork!
