Bed and breakfast holiday rentals in Cork

We have been welcomed by Samatha who has been very useful with her recommendations to find places to get food from on the Bank Holiday evening. The room was very quiet and we enjoyed the full Irish breakfast proposed in the morning. Thank you!

John and Nora Mae were exceptional hosts. They made suggestions about better places to see and we benefited greatly from their knowledge. They introduced us to a new song - which was actually an old one to them - and the music plays in my head often. Good music. Breakfast - oh my!! Delicious! We will tell everyone we know who is going to visit Ireland to plan to stay here

Eileen and Alfie are wonderful hosts! Family of 8 adults traveling together—had a great stay, a delicious breakfast and wonderful hospitality. They drove us to and from Mallow and even picked our son up from the train station and brought him to the restaurant! Would stay again!

Christine and Peter are a delight! We were hiking the Dingle way, so exhausted, and Peter gave us a ride to their place from town (and to the trailhead again the next day)! The house is beautiful, breakfast was amazing, they are both so kind, and it was just a lovely experience overall. Would totally recommend!

We felt very comfortable at Jane's. Every morning it smelled of fresh croissants, which Jane served us in an annexe that we could use in addition to our room. The muesli she prepared herself was also very tasty. The surrounding area offers many opportunities to go hiking and spend a great holiday. There were also plenty of tips.

Margaret has earned every 5 star review you flip through. She is a delight. From the moment you start communicating with her you’ll feel her warmth and start sharing her enthusiasm for this beautiful country she’s happy to share with you. She helped us refine our itinerary so we could make the most of our time in this section. All this and I haven’t even mentioned her second in command, Suzie, the black and white charmer who dances out to greet you. If you’re not a dog person, don’t worry. Margaret is also an ace dog trainer and with just a nod, Suzie is off to her bed or dog house without hesitation. The bedroom with a bath down the hall was no problem at all. It was huge and we had it to ourselves. This is one decision you’ll be glad you made for years to come. Enjoy!

I really liked this accommodation, the hosts were responsive and friendly, everything in the house was clean and met expectations, thank you very much for a pleasant stay in Tralee🤗

Mona and her husband, John, are incredible hosts! We truly enjoyed our time, especially chatting with Mona in the living room before bed. She went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed! Felt like staying with my own grandmother! And her scones and homemade jam are delicious!

Jan and Karen were so kind and welcoming. Their home is beautiful and secluded in the mountain. We really enjoyed breakfast each morning with and then after long days and hikes in Killarney we cozied up to their hearth.

Pauline and George were wonderful hosts. They were very welcoming, and helpful with recommendations for the area. It's a lovely spacious and clean room, and a nice breakfast served every morning. Would highly recommend staying with them as a base for exploring West Cork!

Don’t hesitate. It’s such an amazing place to stay. It’s not only the fabulous food it’s the beautiful way it is served too with such style and grace. There is a gorgeously comfortable guest sitting room too. Heaven for a book lover! Fantastic beds with beautifully laundered high quality bed linen. And gorgeous big en-suite . And of course blissful silence to enjoy a great sleep. Gertie and Pat are so helpful and engaging and go out of their way to make your stay sublime. A rare treat.

Eileen was a wonderful host! She pays attention to all the little details, and makes you feel at home. It was lovely to be greeted by a hot cup of tea and snack after a long day away. Her house is beautiful and comfy, and the surroundings just breathtaking. I just wish we could have stayed there longer. Thanks Eileen!

Joan was always smiley and always offered to make us a cup of tea when we came in after a long day. The B&B was quiet and beds were comfy. Joan also let us pick when we had our breakfast and cooked us a nice little fry up!

It was such a delight staying at Mairead’s home and she was a charming host! Such a beautiful rural Irish setting / location with comfortable rooms that felt like a step back in time to our grandparent’s home. She made us coffee & tea served with breads, toast, preserves and fruit in the morning. The roses and flowers in the garden were beautiful. An all-time favorite stay!

Bernie was so friendly and welcoming! The home decor was absolutely amazing with lots of interesting and well chosen pieces. The home was extremely cozy, spacious and peaceful. I felt like I stayed in an ideal oasis and I hope to return one day.

Excellent location and Therese was very helpful with local recommendations for food and hiking/scenic routes. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful guest house. Lovely family run. Perfect location. Comfy bed in a generous room and excellent breakfast.

Rating? 5 stars simply doesn’t do it justice. Our experience with Lesley & Adrian ( together with a gorgeous Springer Spaniel Heidi ) is the highlight of our long holiday so far ( we are two Australians travelling across Europe by car for 2 months) . They are the most wonderful people and hosts that we met . Period. We enjoyed our stay and their hospitality to the point that we didn’t want to leave.. The house and our room were spotless. Bedroom and bathroom are big and roomy. Parking ,just next to the entrance . The breakfast was sooooo nice and kept us running all day. We can’t thank them enough for sharing their local knowledge and appointing us in the right direction. We’ve seen amazing things based on their advice. We feel that Lesley simply love and enjoy what she is doing and that is the only logical explanation to how she do her magic so effectively and effortlessly. Just amazing . Thank you again Lesley and Adrian.

If I could give 6 stars, I would! We had an amazing stay. The B&B is in an amazing location, so homey and warm and very close to town. The Ring of Kerry and Ring of Beara are easily accessible. Anne and her husband are so friendly and welcoming, and make a great breakfast! Highly highly recommended!

Ciara's place was beautiful. The view is something else and it was lovely watching the sailing boats in the sea, amongst the beautiful scenery. We were lucky enough that there were an annual fireworks display taking place on Cobh island across the water. Ciara's home is really lovely and clean. Ciara was really hospitable and nothing was too much trouble. Equally we felt like we could do our own thing and we felt like we had the place to ourselves xxx

Our stay at Claudia and Tom's place was amazing, the area is quiet and calm in the middle of nowhere but still close to a city with restaurants. They were great hosts, really friendly and it was a pleasure to talk with them, also the breakfast was incredibly generous and every thing they served was fresh and delicious. The bedroom and the bathroom are really comfy with everything you could need, our stay was a refreshing moment in our trip.

This is a very special place - very peaceful and private in a beautiful location. The home is unique , in lovely grounds and the hosts are very respectful - responsive to all needs, friendly but also allowing a lot of privacy and quiet. Everything was very clean and welcoming.

We had a lovely stay at Juliann’s. The room was very comfortable and clean. The scones and breakfast were amazing and we felt right at home. We loved her recommendations!

Breda is a wonderful host - very welcoming and friendly. The room and shared sitting area are comfortable with lots of space, and spotless. The continental breakfast was plentiful - and we loved the egg cooker!! The property is beautiful with excellent views on a clear evening. The location is great for exploring the Ring of Kerry and Dingle Peninsula. Definitely recommend!!
