Our stay in Cork was extravagant and comfortable thanks to the amazing accommodations provided by Declan and his wife. When we arrived, we were immediately greeted by Declan who was very warm and welcoming from the start. He gave us a tour of his beautiful house, starting in the kitchen (which was full of choices available to guests, ranging from coffee/tea selections to homemade pastries that are made fresh by his wonderful wife). We were then shown to our room, which was as comfortable and elegant as an upscale resort. Overall, with the hospitality provided by Declan, and the quiet and scenic comfort of his amazing house, our stay in Cork was one of the best of our trip.
