We have just returned from 1 week's stay in Kinsale and Schull County Cork in Ireland. We regularly stay in Kinsale and know and love the area very much. This year we decided to stay 3 days in the Scull area, which we drove through last year and liked the look of. We researched the area on the internet and... more

Stayed here last summer with my mom,aunt and teenage cousins and we all had a wonderful time.The house itself is beautiful,bursting with original features,a real gem!each unique room had sumptously comfy beds and gorgeous antique furniture.Breakfast was fab each morning,whether it was a full irish or french toast made with eggs straight from the hens in the garden!Katarina and her... more

Really nice B&B, beautifully decorated, friendly owner. Two minutes walking distance of Schull town, but far enough away not to be disturbed by noise. more

We stayed for 4 nights over the busy August Bank Holiday Weekend. The Harbour View is about a year old and is a complete rebuild of an earlier hotel. Our room was spacious, attractively decorated and well-furnished; with a comfortable bed and a nice marble bathroom. Breakfast was served to order (not the usual buffet that is served in so... more

Went for a bar lunch as it was mentioned in Lonely Planet Guide. Girl behind bar was sullen. Food expensive and average. Wouldnt recommend it. more

Grove House is a beautiful Georgian house overlooking the harbour in Schull. Katarina was a wonderful hostess. The food was excellent. The rooms are large and tastefully decorated. I will certainly be back, and I would recommend Grove House to all of my friends, more

Excellent guest house with excellent food in an excellent location close to a beautiful village in a beautiful corner of Ireland. The owners try hard to make your stay a pleasant one, great facilities such as broadband, sun terrace, and hot tub (free to those staying two or more nights) added to the clean spacious accommodation make this a place... more

Based on trip advisor reviews we chose to stay at Stanley House. We LOVED it. Nancy treated us as family. Our room was beautiful and the breakfasts were delicious. It was one of the highlights of our 18 day Ireland adventure. Word cannot express how relaxing this B&B is so if you're going to be near Schull treat yourself by... more

We had a brilliant stay here. The rooms were lovely, clean and modern. Looked very recently refurbished. The service was so friendly and helpful. We have no complaints about the food. We ate both in the bar and the restaurant. Both were great. The restaurant food was actually as good and as well presented as any top range restaurant (which... more

Decided to take a break away from the city and find out about this little gem of a place i had heard so much of from friends in west cork. First of all arrived down late at night ,having not left city late and traffic was crazy,With all the restaurants closed enquired about getting food the bar staff were very... more

We just returned from two weeks in Ireland that included two nights at Stanley House. Everything nice that reviewers say about Stanley House and Nancy Brosnan is true. The house has beautiful views looking out over nearby meadows and beyond to the harbor at Schull. Our room had a harbor view, and you should try to reserve that if you... more

We have just come back from a 3-night stay in Nancy Brosnan's Stanley House. Having been to many hotels, you cannot beat the genuine, warm personal reception from a proud owner. Everything I read in the reviews on Tripadvisor was true. Stanley House is in a great location, overlooking Schull Harbour, with peaceful surrounds and it really does feel like... more

From the moment I arrived to a very warm welcome by Nancy Brosnan I was made to feel at home. I was pleased to find ample safe and spacious parking on site. My en suite room was immaculately clean, warm and comfortable with a lovely view. Everything is thoughtfully arranged with the guest's comfort in mind. All the rooms at... more

Picture a beautiful bungalow on a hill overlooking a picturesque bay that belongs to a wonderful little fishing village with seafood to die for and several pubs that are absolute gems (An Tigin, Hacketts). Then picture inside the bungalow itself with the sunlight beaming in through the conservatory that overlooks a picturesque bay that belongs to a wonderful little fishing... more

Saw this place is Alaistar Sawday Special Places to Stay. Was sooo excited about going with my husband and 2 small children. I am from the country in Ireland but this place was just a run down old country house with lots of messy books everywhere, rooms very very basic, uncomfortable beds and overall not in any way shape of... more

We have just booked for our l3th visit to Stanley House, which is in itself the best recommendation. We have toured Southern Ireland extensively but every year we find something new in and around Schull. The view from Stanley House has its own magic with spectacular seascapes. Schull is a quaint and lively town with friendly people and some interesting... more

Grove House, only a short stroll from the centre of Schull, is one of the oldest pupose-built hotels in the region. It therefore has bags of atmosphere, and, thanks to Katarina's presence, considerable charm. Even in her absence, her son, still at school, cooked us an excellent full Irish breakfast. He also apologised profusely for failing to service our room.... more

Clean as a whistle, with a wonderful host – Nancy Brosnan, beautiful grounds and delicious breakfast. Although there was a ‘No Vacancies’ sign hanging at the door, we rang the bell and asked for a room. She did not have any available, just a small one that apparently was used sometimes as a single, that had a trundle bad. She... more

The place looks nice on the outside, but on the inside…not that clean. Not necessarily dirty, we did not see the dust, but we shared the room with maybe 12 if not more spiders and their webs. I understand the humidity, the fact that a house covered in ivy harbors a lot of insects in that ivy, but I don’t... more
