The Courtyard Kilshannig

Fermoy

Situated in Fermoy, 27 km from Cork Custom House, The Courtyard Kilshannig features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a tennis court and a terrace. The property is located 28 km from Cork City Hall, 28 km from Kent Railway Station and 29 km from Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral. The guest house has family rooms and facilities for disabled guests. Everything was perfect - from the building, the wonderful people working at the inn, to the beautiful scenery around the compound. It's truly an unforgettable experience, being able to stay in a structure that's been preserved so well since the 1700s. The room was really comfortable and neat as well, and I appreciated the warm breakfast made by them every morning :) Truly a delight if you'd like a quiet and serene stay, a bit away from the main Cork city. I'll definitely want to come back here!

Stone Barn

Skibbereen

Situated in Skibbereen, in a historic building, 8.4 km from St Patrick's Cathedral, Skibbereen, Stone Barn is a recently renovated guest house with a garden and terrace. There is an in-house restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. The guest house has a hot tub and luggage storage space. Absolute recommendation for this B&B! On our road trip through Ireland with 15 different accommodations, this was the best among all others. Everything was nice, clean, and modern. We liked the interior design. The hosts were very kind and helpful. The breakfast and the additional dinner, which we booked, was the best we had during our vacation. We will definitely come back! :)

The room was spacious, the bed comfortable, and the breakfast items in the room meant I was completely independent. I had a good chat with the owner, who was very friendly and welcoming. All in all, a lovely experience.
