This is in an excellent central location and is a relaxing home from home. The bedrooms are spacious and restful, which I liked, as we had very long days out and about exploring and visiting relatives.
A 5 mins wander takes you to the start of the shops, including towards the English Market (about a 10 mins stroll away), and there's a multitude of great eateries (and drinkeries!) along the way too. Cafe Velo across the river footbridge is also worth a visit (and is open Sundays). We ate a delicious breakfast somewhere different every day, and we were super-impressed with the high standards everywhere we went.
We also visited Blarney Castle (and its lovely gardens) and Kinsale - both were superb.
Susan made us feel welcome from the start and made sure we had all the right essentials to keep us going. Highly recommended.
