Great Views and Location

This was a great location with large comfortable rooms and fabulous views. Service was excellent and the restaurant was also very good. We were worried that the arrival of a cruise ship in front of the hotel in the morning would be noisy and disturbing, but it wasn’t an issue.

What a wonderful hotel. We have traveled around the world and this hotel was one of the best. It's a beautiful small older hotel with such character and is very close to everything in the lovely town of Cobh and only a few minutes to Cork. The rooms are a amazing and the views of the water are just incredible. Nice restaurant overlooking the water on the property for dinner and breakfast. You will not be disappointed in this gem of a hotel.

Nice little harbor inn. This inn is directly next door to the Cobb Historic immigration building. Where my families ancestors left to America. The Inn was comfortable and right on the water. Staff could be a little more friendly and interested in how they could be of assistance but I might be just being nitpicking. All of our other accommodations for the two weeks seemed to be interested that we were staying with them.

Perfect location on the water and easy walk to the sites, restaurants, pubs and shops in town. Staff were very friendly and helpful with any questions. Wonderful breakfasts to start our days. And there was onsite parking. Will definitely recommend to anyone that is traveling there and if I’m lucky to return I will stay again.

Outstanding location, 2 blocks from the town square. Free parking under the hotel. Cobh was one of my favorite stops on our 10 stop, 3-week trip around the emerald isle. Each morning there was a new cruise ship viewable from the breakfast patio, but the town was perfectly walkable and not over-run by the cruise ship passengers. The Cobh Heritage Center is across the street and they helped my find some ancestors from Cork. It was a short, but invigorating walk uphill to line of the colorful houses on West View (referred to as Deck of Cards) with the Cathedral over the top.

Loved the property I wish I booked more days! The room and view were amazing there was no AC but the coastal breeze was enough to cool down the room. I loved this hotel and hope to go back in the future. Super clean and just amazing aesthetic. I think it’s the nicest rooms I’ve had in a hotel. They will hold bags for if you are too early to check in but it’s held in the lobby and not in a separate locked room.

Great location with historic surroundings

Reception good - nice welcoming staff. Great location and good parking below the hotel . Great sea view from our room and a few minutes walk to the railway station for our day trip into Cork. Heritage centre next door worth a visit - a lot more interesting and more to it than it looks from the outside. Ate in the restaurant - service was ok and food was ok but menu not very exciting. Staff could be more attentive as we had to keep asking for things. All Brits please note - at breakfast which was otherwise good - they DON’T DO brown sauce - suggest you bring your own!
