We had an amazing stay at Garnish House. Mrs Lucey and her staff know exactly how to take care of their guests. Our flight to Cork was cancelled and we arrived 5 hours later than expected at 1am Our room was spacious (even though 5 of us stayed in the same room) and spotless. The rooms are cleaned daily and...

We were warmly received upon arrival and offered tea and scones. Our room was clean, spacious and wifi connected. The washroom was adequate for us, but may be small for others. Not luxurious, but very comfortable. The location is excellent as it is adjacent to the university and within 10 safe minutes walk to the city center. However, it's the... More

A visiting colleague stayed recently at this guest house and said that the welcome she received was second to none. She arrived at midnight from the UK and was greeted with a tray of scones and a very warm welcome. Well done to Garnish House for showing a true Irish welcome! More

We arrived at 6.30 in the evening and we had a warm welcome accompanied by tea and cakes by the fire, we were given a map and directions. Everything was at walking distance. The breakfast was super, prepared with care and there was a huge choice. The room was big nice and clean, the bed very comfortable. The only thing... More

I would honestly say that our stay in Garnish Guesthouse was the best experience I have had with any establishment (either Hotel or Guesthouse) anywhere in the world. The Welcome was really genuine with a welcome tea and warm scone on arrival. The room was very comfortable. Bed and bed linen immaculately clean and comfortable. Other reviews here emphasize the...

I'd read the reviews before booking a room here last weekend and was a little put out by the varying experiences, but went ahead with it anyway. The room we were assigned was in an adjacent building and was small, but it had everything you'd need. Bed was super comfy and snug. The one complaint I had about the room... More

You would stay here (a) for its proximity to the university and (b) to put on weight. What is a 4-course breakfast? I hear you ask. Well, its: Porridge; Full cooked (twice the normal size); Home-made cakes, croissants and toast; Pancakes with maple syrup. They justifiably take great pride in their cooking. If you get an online deal for Bed... More

Based on reviews on Trip Advisor, we stayed at The Garnish House in Cork. We were not disappointed. We arrived by cab from the train station at noon to be immediately escorted to the dining room for coffee, scones like southern bisquits but better and assorted cakes. By 12:30 we had been upgraded to a suite which was approx. a... More

Love this B& B. Cheap, walking distance to town, friendly staff and finally the most amazing breakfast. It has to be seen to be believed. We stayed in the house across the road from the main B&B as there was 10 of us and we had the whole house to ourselves. On arrival there was baskets of food (scones, buns,... More
