I had chosen this as the last house of 5 on our trip around Ireland and, although we stayed in some lovely places, we definitely saved the best till last. Tom and Emma's house is even better than the photos if that is possible. There has been so much attention paid to every little detail. The house itself is stunning and it is perfectly located so close to the centre of Cork with plenty of shopping, bars and restaurants within a few minutes' stroll. There is a Tesco Express about 5 minutes' walk away if you want to use the beautiful kitchen.
I had been anxious about parking as it is expensive in the centre of Cork but Tom had let me know of street parking opposite the house where we left our car for 3 days and it was fine. Sadly we didn't get to meet Tom and Emma as they were on holiday but their friend, Robin, greeted us and showed us the house. There is a very useful house booklet with details of how things work and also recommendations for places to eat and drink.
I would highly recommend this house as somewhere special to stay that you will always remember.
