The friend I was travelling with and I both really enjoyed our stay at Ruaidhrí and Diarmait’s place.
Everything was as described in the listing. When I arrived I was greeted by Mary, who showed me around and shared great suggestions for cafés, restaurants, and things to see in Cork.
Our bedroom was large, the beds were very comfortable, and the surroundings are very quiet - we had really restful nights of sleep. It was also a treat to stay in such a beautiful and historic (though well maintained!) home.
We don't have a car, so we anticipated that we would either take a taxi or walk (we like walking) between Ruaidhrí and Diarmait’s and the city centre - the walk is nice, so we ended up walking on most of our trips because we had the energy and nice weather, though it was also easy to hail a taxi back when we weren't up for the walk.
