The Blarney Stone Guesthouse  

The home was beautifully decorated and was quite posh compared to other B&B's we stayed at. The hostess recommended a pub down the street that was a step into the past and wonderful. They also offered a vegetarian breakfast that was a nice change.

Comfortable beds, easy to find, close to town, great power shower, pretty decor, friendly.

Didn't take MasterCard even though they claim to on here (have experienced this false advertising with several places already and it gets frustrating, people constantly saying their machines are "down". If you do not like taking credit, please don't advertise it), cramped parking with people blocking your exit, not enough dining space had to wait 40 mins for breakfast.

The room was very pretty and comfortable, arched ceilings and lots of character. Bathroom was tiny but clean and had a great shower. Breakfast was wonderful and fresh, cooked to order. Staff were friendly and helpful. Parking was free which was great. We loved our stay.

Had to carry heavy bags up three flights of stairs! But that's to be expected in this style of home. If I had mobility issues or problems, I would have asked for a room on a lower floor or for assistance with the bags, and I am sure the friendly staff would have helped willingly. As it was, we managed fine.

It was very classy and the location superb for proximity to UCC

Breakfast and room was decorated nicely

Very comfortable room & great breakfast. Within walking distance of city centre. Short drive to the Blarney Stone. Central for drives to the mountains, coast & tourist spots.

Breakfast at the Inn was fantastic. The room was very clean and comfortable. The owner and staff quite friendly and very helpful. Excellent experience. Very near a very beautiful college called University College, Cork.

The guest house was very nicely presented. The rooms are very clean and comfortable . The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

Unlimited irish traditional breakfast!

Very friendly

Guesthouse was centrally located for what we needed and it was clean. Staff was nice.

Breakfast took way too long and we had to leave to catch a tour before everyone had a chance to eat. They are not equipped to handle big parties. It is also much smaller than it looked in pictures.

Very friendly staff. Breakfast was very good.

Pillows need to be softer. Would be nice if room had black out curtains.

A old victorian style house in a good condition with the right addetute. Nice place to be with a nice host.

Nothing

It was wonderful. The staff was very helpful. The buffet breakfast was very good and we did not want for anything. We shopped at the Blarney Woolen Mill - we went to the Castle Medieval dinner and really enjoyed that. We drove up to the Cliffs of Moher. There was a wedding while we were there and we observed the facilities decorated in an excellent manner.

I thought the bathroom could have been cleaner - there was some mold around the tub/shower area. We loved the room and the sheets, the bedding was amazing - we will come again.

The car parking and s nice breakfast.

The price! We paid for a twin room and when we got there we were put in the tiniest twin room possible. Paid €89 which should have been reduced for such a small room. We couldn't stand beside the beds at the same time. I emailed the guest house after about this but got no reply.

Very welcoming, friendly atmosphere. Staff is very nice and polite. Rooms are clean and comfortable, with a luxurious touch. Close to the city centre and shopping area (20 min walk). Excellent selection of breakfast, which is very tasty.

The regulator for the shower power was a bit stiff therefore it was difficult to control the heat/amount of water coming out of the shower. Minor thing though.

The staff were really nice and friendly. They could not do enough for me!

the ambience of the guest house was very relaxing, the house was beautiful and spotlessly clean, the owner and her staff were excellent hosts

the staffs are really nice.

breakfast is a bit slow

I really like the Victorian design of the guest house. It was a bit different. The room was really nice and cosy and it wasn't noisy. Also it's directly across the road from UCC, which is a beautiful campus for a walk. The staff were friendly and it was within walking distance of the city.

The Blarney Stone was very clean, the rooms are freshly painted and breakfast was great. I would recommend this place to anyone.

At first I thought I would have issues with the small front entrance parking as I had to depart early in the morning. But after explaining to the owner my situation she ensured that my car would not be obstructed and in the end there was not issue.....so don't be put off by the parking unless the guesthouse is fully booked up

Fabulous place, pure luxury, lovely friendly people, would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Room was very comfortable, nice clean bathroom, room was at a nice temperature. Was greeted with a very friendly welcome and owner was more than willing to help with directions and advice on where to eat

Parking was tight Breakfast only started at 8, a little but earlier would be better for business travellers

Angela, he host, was most friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was outstanding.

The ideal place for a city trip. Located opposite University College Cork, it is a charming, tastefully furnished place, with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Excellent service.
