We couldn't have been happier with our experience at Clarence Terrace B&B.

Cyril is a truly gracious and conscientious host. Firstly, he provided us excellent guidance on places to go, travel tips, and directions around the city. On our first morning in Cork, it was raining and the winds were blowing at around 30 mph. Despite the rain, our spacious room on the second floor was so comfortable, I would have been fine relaxing inside instead of venturing out. Though, we are not ones to be cowed by inclement weather and we resolved to head out to the Cork Public Museum taking the bus. We ran into Cyril on the way out and he offered to drive use all the way to the museum! We, of course, accepted. Turns out the museum was closed so Cyril drove us to the municipal art gallery (which was great). Cyril's ride made all the difference in the world for us.

Lastly, we loved the breakfast Cyril served us both mornings (included in room charge). His coffee was one of the best (strong) brewed for us in Ireland and he also provided tea, orange juice, and milk. A bowl of fresh berries and fruit was laid out as well with a large selection of healthy cereals from which to choose . I for one took advantage of Cyril's full Irish breakfast options which included the standard sausage, bacon, eggs, roasted tomato, black/white pudding. Both mornings, the breakfast kept me full all day till we grabbed dinner at night.

Cyril's final act of hospitality was to move his car, before our leaving the next morning, so I would have an easier time turning around in the (somewhat) tight parking area in front of his building.

When you visit Cork, stay at Cyril's.
