A private entrance leads guests into the apartment, where they can enjoy some wine or champagne and fruits. This apartment is non-smoking and soundproof.

A beautiful apartment completely stocked with everything (and more) for a relaxing stay. Bernadette, the host is most accommodating and explains the aspects of the apartment very well. I was flabbergasted by the amount of food left for my use. I’ve stayed in many apartments but have never received such a high level of service. The setting along the River is very picturesque with a lovely ornate bridge right across the street. Cork is a lovely town with a rich history and extremely nice people. Do visit!

The house was charming and comfortable. The location was unique and quite convenient to everything. We enjoy walking. Although there were small groups of tourists during the day after 5 we were completely alone in the walled fort unless there were other tennant’s next door in the adjacent apartment.

Loved being out on the countryside. The owner has 1 dog (new fundland) and 2 kitties. All were super friendly but not overbearing at all. The owners were very accommodating and sweet! I would highly recommend this place.

    It was a large and lovely decorated flat. It had all the perks to make it comfortable and a home-away-from-home feel. There was everything we needed and wanted in the kitchen for quick meals. The hosts provided lots of food (e.g. fruit, pastries, cereal, bread) and condiments (e.g. jam, butter) to make breakfasts and snacks very easy. The bed was big and comfortable affording us good nights' rest. The location was quite good as well, taking about a ten-minute walk to the English Market in town.

    Quiet, and out of the way. Exactly what we wanted. Village of Cloyne about 10 to 12 minutes in the car, with shops,bars and restaurants. We found a bar servingfood,2 starters and 2 mains for under 50,food was great so value for money of you wamt to eat out. Property itself is well maintained. TV and sofa in living room/kitchen area to chill and a separate bedroom and also a separate toilet and shower.

    Great location but road signage in Cork is not tourist friendly. You need a functioning sat nav or map to find your way around. Staff friendly and efficient. Room is a typical study bedroom. Self catering kitchen down the hall. Reduced price parking offsite and nearby but get your parking ticket validated by reception staff for the discount as otherwise it is expensive

    Location was super, barely a five minute walk from the bus stop! I received an email the night before with the code for the door and the host was really helpful and responsive - Thank you Anthony! Distance to the city centre was incomparable to what other self-catering locations offer. Beds were clean and comfortable. Kitchen was fitted with everything you would expect. The heater in the bathroom was especially appreciated! Couldn't recommend these apartments enough.
