to get started.

Kathleen at the desk (also in the dining room!) was wonderful during the reception process, and offered fantastic suggestions for food and music in the nearby neighborhood. Kathleen truly made our stay in Cork more enjoyable, and we would definitely return to this property again based on the staff alone. Guests will be happy to find a beautiful Victorian era guest home with comfortable, clean, and well stocked rooms, friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating staff, and a satisfying and delicious Irish breakfast. Location is great, too, with a short walk to restaurants, music, the English Market, shopping, and train station.. ☘️💚

The property was in a beautiful house that has been restored. The bathroom looked newly remodeled and the shower was nice. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We stayed in a family room that had a good amount of space for our party of 3.

The property was unique and very pretty. Valerie spent a lot of time with us and our small children showing us around outside and showing our kids the animals there. The breakfast was also excellent.

Ellen

This B&B is on a major hill, and difficult to find. We did not feel very welcome by reception. The Gabriel House does have some parking, but it is quite a hike to a pub or restaurant for dinner. V

The location wasn’t quite as close to the city center as I hoped, but still within walking distance. The area is quite hilly. The parking lot was fairly slanted which was a scary driving a stick shift rental car. Apparently automatic cars are very rare in Ireland.
The property was in a beautiful house that has been restored. The bathroom looked newly remodeled and the shower was nice. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We stayed in a family room that had a good amount of space for our party of 3.
