Siobhan's La Cita B&B is a great place to stay if you are planning a trip to Cork. It is very close to the Blarney Castle (home of the Blarney Stone) and the surrounding area. We only had one week in Ireland and unfortunately could only stay here for a night.
Siobhan greeted us at the door with a huge, friendly smile. She is so knowledgeable of the area and very eager to help. She asked what our plans were for the evening to make sure we were going to enjoy ourselves. So glad she asked because the places we told her we wanted to see were another 45 minutes drive there and another 45 back in the dark on small roads (no thanks)! She had a slew of suggestions for dining (5-star meal at reasonable price in Blarney), shopping and site-seeing!
Her house is just as it is in pictures in a quiet neighborhood with ample parking and easy access to main roads. We were about to set off for dinner and she asked us what time for breakfast and what we would like.
Breakfast was perfect (she cooked it!) and set us up nicely for our day. Great coffee! We knew we wanted to go to Cork to explore but weren't 100% on the actual sites to visit. Her advice on the Titanic exhibition in Cobh was great and something we hadn't seen in our research and left us with some new knowledge!
You will love her and this place!
