Room was comfortable. 3rd floor room, so just brought up what we needed for the night and next day because of the stairs. Staff was very helpful. Breakfast was delicious and service was very accommodating. Parking lot was secluded from the street so no problem leaving items in car.

This beautiful elegant property was built in the 19th Century as a private residence by a wealthy merchant family. From the 1920's some Christian Brothers resided here for more than 40 years. Since the brothers departed in the 1960's it has been used exclusively as a Guest House / Bed & Breakfast.
We pride ourselves in selecting staff who will enhance our business by providing a friendly welcoming service, good guest relations, quality food preparation/ presentation, clean well presented guest rooms, welcoming gardens and surroundings.
We are located on an elevated position in a residential area overlooking the River Lee and we are within walking distance of the heart of the city. We are lucky to have a selection of small local businesses all within walking distance. These include bars, restaurants, a pharmacy , café, a hairdresser, a post office and convenience store .
