We had a very lovely stay at Geraldine's home. She is perfect host and the room cosy, clean and beatiful.
You can use as well living room, garden or kitchen if needed.
Every morning Geraldine left us breakfast, what was very nice.
It takes some time to get to train or bus station (20-25 minutes walk), but Geraldine offered a ride when she was available.
Mallow is a great base to visit Cork, Killarney and south-west of Ireland.
Totally recommend the stay at Geraldine's place :)
