The location is brilliant, house is plenty big enough and the kitchen is well equipped.

I paid more than the agreed price because of mix-ups between the host and Booking.com. I’m owed around 300 euros, but neither Booking.com, Elizabeth Fort or Irish Landmark Trust will take responsibility.

Location, privacy, walking around Cork, people.

It’s so lovely it was hard to leave it to go explore the wonderful city!

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!

The Wi-Fi is very patchy. Just the city of Cork public Wi-Fi

It was all about the location: the property itself, the proximity to central Cork, being in Ireland.

Great location

Great location, charming property, helpful staff, and we loved the historic vibe. It was a lovely change of pace from a typical hotel.

The mattress needs to be replaced as it is very old and broken down. Radiators were all turned up when we arrived making the house too hot, but that was minor. Water kicked off during second shower both nights (and we take short showers).

Emailed instructions, staff welcomed us at the gate with keys. Very easy! Met with property manager to give keys back. Really enjoyed being in the middle of the city.

You enter through the actual doors of the fortress and in the morning and evening you get the whole fortress for yourself. Great and unique experience.

Paying for parking.

Staying at the Fort was like living in history. It was a different, authentic experience.

I was happy with everything

A unique property, very close to Cork City. The people running the property were very helpful

A wonderful and unique stay. We loved having a private space inside the fort, and the flat was excellent. We would recommend anyone stay at Elizabeth Fort and would stay again in the future.

What's not to like? Nothing

Very capable and friendly host. Excellent location and accommodations. You stay not near or around but actually in the fort. I would highly recommend it.

Stayed in July 2023

It was roomy, clean and very central.

It was warm. An air conditioner in the bedrooms would have made it much more comfortable.

The property was in a historic location.

Stayed in June 2023

There were no instructions on how to use the appliances. We had to ask for help or look up how to use something.

The property was beautiful. The house was good.

Exceptional location both in terms of the history of the Fort and the proximity to the City Centre

Stayed in June 2023

Great location, near city center but quiet because it. Was in the fort.

Just a lack of proper heavy door-stops to stop the doors from slamming Also, no parking included, as no free parking in the surrounding area. Be prepared to use 2 hourly parking discs at €2.50 between 8am -6pm or park in municipal car park at bottom of hill.

The magic of having the whole fort to ourselves after 5pm. The thrill of having a big key to come and go through the main gate. Cottage was charmingly furnished with period furniture and details but with sympathetic modern amenities. Having breakfast in little outside area. Atmospheric bar outside the main gates. Geraldine, the local house manager, was always at end of phone should there have been any issues- there weren’t. Fort staff also very friendly. Proximity to central Cork-5 min walk down (then up-hill back)

location was superb, central to Cork with everything on your doorstep, the fort itself is steeped in history we walked the walls and visited the women’s history element which we enjoyed, the property itself has everything you need to enjoy a self catering break, it’s also authentic comfortable and beautifully presented, there is a lovely courtyard garden to enjoy with small table and chairs to relax on, we would definitely recommend this accommodation and would look to book again in the future, Geraldine was a great house manager and very responsive to any questions

I really couldn’t fault anything. Location is excellent for walking into town. Will definitely recommend and look to return.

The property is a genuine time capsule and beautifully decorated. Lovely wood burner and comfortable living room. There’s a lot of love in the house and attention to detail. Loved in but clean and stylish.
