    Its location, being beautifully secluded on its own ‘little’ estate and yet less than 5 minutes by car to Cobh and the waterfront. Our room was spacious and very comfortable with a good size en-suite

    Pam is an amazing hostess. Energetic and to the point, immediately concerned with how to make your stay worthwhile and agreeable. I just loved how seriously Pam was available, practical and no-nonsense with my son and myself. A splendid starting point in Cork County, the garden and greens around the house are like a beautiful shrine.

    There was nothing about Cobh and Knockeven House I didn’t like.The house dates from about 1840 and is still in its original form and stands in its own grounds. The manager Pam is very friendly and helpful.

    The Irish breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Cobh is a very beautiful perfectly preserved Victorian/Edwardian town and the view over the harbour is magnificent.

    No significant negatives.

    We very much enjoyed our stay in a splendid victorian-era house. The location - about 25 minutes walk from the centre of Cobh - was ideal for us. The host was welcoming and helpful, offering easy advice on eating out and things to do locally: thank you. Breakfast was easy and generous - you won't need much lunch later! We would be happy to stay again sometime.

    Charming older home in a quiet setting. It was a little tricky to find and on a one lane road. Be aware that there are two flights of stairs to the bedrooms. Comfortable king size bed with quality linens and pillows. Be aware that bathrooms do not have electrical outlets in Ireland. Must dry your hair in bedroom and mirror very low. Hair dryer did not hear but owner not aware so will replace for next guest. Nice large bath towels. Good breakfast but not exceptional. Maybe it’s because we’ve had so many that are the same.

    A stunning grand house with incredibly high ceilings and spacious rooms. Very quiet location with excellent car parking. The breakfast was also fantastic with a few options to select from for the cooked breakfast. Our host was also incredibly welcoming and gave fantastic recommendations on local dining and entertainment options upon arrival.
