“I arrived quite early on the first morning of my visit and was offered breakfast which I declined as I had business in the city. I was able to leave my luggage while I spent the greater part of the day in town. The room I was given was very comfortable, quiet and spotlessly clean. Breakfast the following morning was excellent, good food beautifully prepared and served with friendly efficiency. I was able to pay my bill that evening because I was leaving at 5.00 a.m. on my last day there. Overall it was incredibly good value. It was my first time there and I would hope to stay in Audley House again on future visits to Cork. I recommend it very highly; it was one of the very best B&Bs I have ever stayed in.”
