Having grown up in Cork, and then moved to London, I found myself returning less and less, but always remembered the best place to stay. This time I brought my better half, who didn't believe me that Cork City is a place tot be proud of,she thought it was just another city, this idea changed when we were welcomed at... More

Of all the places I have ever stayed whilst travelling, this is by far the best one especially in Ireland. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the rooms and location are both ideal for anyone wanting to visit Cork. The owner is the sweetest person you could or would want to possibly meet on arrival and she remains... More

Friendly staff welcomed us on our early arrival from the Roscoff ferry with breakfast and tea. Lovely room with an excellent bed and e suite. Breakfast is amazing! The host even provided us with buttered scones to take on our three hour bus trip to Galway. We will definitely return.

Tea and home-baked cakes in the afternoon of arrival. waking to the gorgeous smell of bread baking, extensive mouth-watering breakfast menu. Foodie heaven! The room was like great grandma's - a bit overly upholstered and flowery, but perfectly fine (and spotless). Warm friendly staff and an easy stroll into the town centre. Perfect!

I stayed with my friends (including Hokie0103) in a family style room in April. The food at Garnish House is an absolute delight and tea upon arrival was one of the best we had in Ireland. Breakfast was also a winner with a huge selection. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Parking was ample and easy. What I was not... More

This place definitely won me over for the food. We were greeted with fresh scones, bread and tea when we arrived and the extensive breakfast the next day was amazing. I recommend the eggs Benedict. However I knocked my overall rating down due to our room. We stayed across the street in the family room. The room had one outlet... More

Right from us being welcomed with tea and cakes, to the room and service was outstanding! The breakfast has to be one of the most extensive and deluxe I have ever seen. You will think you are eating in a 5star restaurant!. The short walk to town was not overwhelming and pleasant! A perfect place to stay!

My husband and I just completed a stay at the Garnish House. Johanna and her business model literally inspired the person who hired me to begin the business I now manage for him in California. He describes his experience at the Garnish House on our company web site in a "Founder's Message" video. He and his entire family literally felt... More

What it lacks in luxury, it makes up for in warmth and hospitality. We enjoyed our 5-night stay at Garnish House. The staff could not have been more welcoming and attentive. And breakfast is awesome. A true bargain.
