Rose Lodge Guesthouse has 15 comfortable and spacious rooms, all with ensuite bathroom, direct dial telephone, satellite TV, and tea/coffee making facilities, as well as beautifully-decorated common areas where guests can get to know your fellow guests and relax in style. Start every day the right way with a deli
Rose Lodge is in the careful hands of the O Murchu family since 1997 and they have made this former school an eclectic mix of old and new with an eye for art which brings colour and life to every wall. We always extend the hand of friendship for which Irish people are renowned for. Our staff are always there to help in every way and provide useful tips about this wonderful city. We love this house we want our guests to enjoy it as much as we do.
Well now the neighbourhood? what a beautiful spot here on the Mardyke with it leafy surroundings and stunning maintained buildings including the majestic University College Cork and St Finbarrs Cathedral two gems and well worth a visit. We are less than 5 minutes to the Michelin star Inchgo Inchie restaurant and Cafe Pardiso which is fantastic vegetarian restaurant. We are also next to Fitzgeralds Park which is a very cool spot to spend an hour or two on the banks of the River Lee. Bus stop and public bicycle hire on the doorstep which is handy for those here for a few days. If you choose not to reserve Rose Lodge, do book a property in this area, you will not go wrong!
