Garnish House  

Really enjoyed being greeted at the door with hot Tea and scones after a long drive. We were set up in the front parlor by the warm fireplace and just relaxed and talked with the staff. What pleasure. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was wonderful. Fresh and homemade Irish breakfast. Half portion was perfect. Bailey's in the porridge was great way to start the day!

Road noise and noise from students at university across the street who stayed up late after returning from holiday break.

I thought the staff were exceptional. The whole atmosphere was caring and professional. We arrived very late and were pampered beyond belief. After a long flight it was wonderful to fall asleep in a comfortable bed in a warm room. The most professional and yet homey place I have stayed anywhere. I am looking forward to another visit to Cork and definitely a stay at Garnish House. Diane Stuart

MARCEL (in capital letters)! :) He is the wonderfully handsome German man who will greet you with such genuine cheer, you'll feel instantly at home. Go for the food--go for the location--go for the fun, and for goodness sake, go for the afternoon tea spread! You'll have the best tea and scones and German pastries of your life! You cannot go wrong with this decision. The rooms are quaint and clean, all en-suite. There is free parking and Internet access. Downtown is within walking distance. The Garnish House is diagonally across from the UCC campus. We stayed here on our honeymoon three years ago, and again this past weekend. We were so thrilled to see Marcel's friendly face still there when we arrived! He certainly knows how to run a B&B--go check it out for yourselves!

The bed was slightly too soft, but I'm kinda picky because of my back problems. Everything was absolutely perfect!

the afternoon tea was a real treat.the rooms had everything down to a safe.would stay there again

Excellent, would recommend to anyone.

We got a fantastic room with extermly comfortable beds in the sister guest a few doors down from Garnish House. It was warm, spacious and had all the trimmings from a tea towel with the kettle and cups, a safe and was very clean. The shower was good quality and there was plenty of storage. Unfortunetly, we stayed out too late at night to get up for breakfast but having stayed there before, the breakfast was fantastic. I'd highly recommend the gueat house.

Traffic tended to be a little noisy on the road in the morning if you're the type to sleep in like us. This was only a minor thing though as it was fine at night.

Family run guesthouse with a very warm welcome. Tea, cake and scones on arrival, even before check in. Beautiful warm rooms, tastefully decorated, comfortable bed and excellent bathroom facilities. Breakfasts to die for. Porridge and baileys: still a winner every time. An excellent guesthouse where people return time after time.

The hospitality from arrival to departure was phenomenal. Many thanks to everyone at Garnish House. I stayed on w/end of 20th Jan in #3 and could not fault anything. Lovely staff ad amenities were a treat. I didn't have time for the tea & scones but hopefully I stay again and treat myself with them. Thanks again everyone,

Room very clean. Make sure you are hungry, the breakfast is super.

I stayed at this hotel with my boyfriend and we were really impressed with how big and comfortable our room was. We found it really hard to get the willpower to get out of bed everyday to go explore Cork because we were so content in our room.

The welcome tea and snacks was excellent! Room quality was very good too and teh overall price was very reasonable.

There was limited hot water in the morning for showers.

We stayed in many hotels and B&Bs on our European vacation and this one was by far my girls favorite. They are college students and not easily impressed...The staff and food were excellent...We felt right at home there and will certainly be back our next time thru...

There was a issue with our toilet and the water pressure in the shower but not really a big deal...

Breakfast is far higher standard than most B&Bs or hotels. Location excellent.

Interior design of rooms in main building is very dated and could do with a serious overhaul. Bathroom was very basic.
