United States of AmericaShandon Bells B&B was a nice place to stay for a couple of nights as we explored Cork and the surrounding areas. We didn't pay to have breakfast there and really only slept there. My friend and I split a room and appreciated that there was parking available in the lot next door. The room was clean, the area was safe and quiet, even being close to the university. We were in easy walking distance to several pubs, restaurants and the English Market.

United States of AmericaThe room was great. We liked that everything was walkable from the house. Additionally, the parking was a life-saver. Everything in the room was available and working. No issues.

We offer a warm welcome to our lovely residence, with a cup of coffee or tea in the dining room.
Mostly we enjoy our patio on the back of the house with beautiful and relaxing view. We care very much about comfort so we are always improving facilities and rooms
Location is spot on! From Patrick Street turn left into Grand Parade and then right into Washington Street. Go straight ahead along Lancaster Quay and Western Road. Walking distance from the city centre is 12 minutes. University Cork College is across the street and few restaurants and bars are very close. Popular places to visit within walking distance are St Fin Barre's Cathedral, Elisabeth Fort and The English Market.
