We had a wonderful stay. The house was spacious and the beds were comfortable. The owner was very responsive and we loved the fresh flowers and muffins that were on the table when we arrived. It was also nice to see the donkeys through the kitchen window as I drank my coffee in the morning and again when we went outside to the back of the house. The three bathrooms were also a big plus and the Smart TV in the living room was appreciated by my kids. I would stay here again.

We enjoyed staying at “Eileen’s House”. The house is very clean and equipped with all the necessities. It’s situated in a beautiful island. There was a passenger ferry which runs several times a day and it’s always on time. It was a novel experience staying at Whiddy island. We loved the peaceful and stunning atmosphere. Majella is a wonderful host, so kind and caring. The people we met there were so friendly and helpful. Will definitely come back to Eileen’s House.

    The cottage was warm and delightful. We visited with the family and our girls enjoyed the wood fireplace! Very peaceful atmosphere easy to disconnect from work and city life. We happened to arrive very late (after 9pm) and the hostess was very kind to be there to receive us. The cottage was stocked with items to prepare a complete breakfast. Truly a Peaceful Cottage experience. Highly recommend it if you plan to visit Cork Ireland!

    The room was cozy and had a great view. The location was also ideal for walking into and out of town, well-lit the whole way. I was surprised that there was a sauna on site, that was a nice surprise, though I didn't use it... next time perhaps :)

    This carefully restored and maintained property is a unique gem just a short stroll to Cork city centre. Cosy and full of charm and with the added plus of knowing your money is being put towards the restoration of other properties in danger of being lost forever. What’s not to like!

    It was very quiet, and just down the road from Fota Wildlife, which was the reason for visit. The cottage itself very cosy. All the heaters that were there worked, and beds were comfortable. If your driving very handy to get supplies from shops. The dishes/kettle were immaculate and the bathroom was clean. It’s great if you wanted to go exploring during the day and just have a place to chill in the evening.
