Great way to end a 10 day tour of Ireland!!

We booked a room with a king sized bed and the accommodations were that of a 4 star hotel. The breakfast in the morning was made to order and the food and service was top notch.

This small country house is listed in several of the guide books that list quality accommodation in…read moreIreland, and deservedly so. The house, which dates to 1860, is in a 300 acre parkland setting and is impeccably and tastefully maintained and furnished. It has only 5 bedrooms, so we counted ourselves extremely lucky to get a booking for August bank holiday weekend at short notice (turns out there had been a last minute cancellation). The hosts are friendly and extremely thoughtful, while being unobtrusive. The lovely setting adds to the tranquil atmosphere, and yet it's only a few minutes drive (15km) to Kinsale (where we had dinner). A wee drink from the honesty bar rounded off our evening nicely, as we perused some of the fine selection of books in the lounge.The breakfast here was second to none - fresh, quality ingredients, home grown on the farm or sourced from local producers, fresh-baked bread (still warm from the oven), real freshly-squeezed juices. My wife opted for the freshly made buttermilk pancakes with organic bacon and maple syrup, and was equally impressed. We found the wi-fi signal variable in our room, but other than that, I couldn't fault this wonderful guest house.

The room was comfortable and clean, the breakfast was delicious, and there was free wifi. We will absolutely return.

Once settled her restaurant, pub and sightseeing tips were first rate. Bed was very comfortable and house was quiet (although we were travelling during the off season). Having your own bathroom and shower is great as well. The breakfasts were top notch and ample, a light lunch at most was needed between breakfast and dinner. Central location also makes it attractive to those who like their amenities close by. Should we ever get back to Cork we would return here to stay.

I found Auburn House in Lonely Planet's Ireland book and I'm so glad we did! Olive and Kieran were…read moreby far our favorite B&B hosts throughout our tour of Ireland. Upon arriving, Olive was warm, welcoming, and took care of us with a pot of tea and chocolates and a friendly disposition that made us feel as if we were her old friends just popping by for a visit rather than strangers meeting for the first time. She had plenty of stories to share and wisdom on where to go and what to see while in Cork (and the appropriate maps to guide us in the right direction). Our room was cozy with a reasonably sized bathroom (by Irish standards) and a sweeping view over the city. The breakfast was prompt and piping hot - my husband raved about the black and white pudding, while I stuck to scrambled eggs, beans, and toast. Plus, the B&B is located a comfortable walking distance from the bus terminal and train station. I'd recommend Auburn House to any out of town visitors looking for the full B&B experience.

It's just outside the small village of Banteer, and around 17km west of the town of Mallow in north Co. Cork. Agherton Lodge is a 2-storey detached house in a very striking setting, so much so that you feel like you're the lord or lady of the manner staying in this environment, in a pleasant ranch-like way. A really nice lady who was originally from the north welcomed us the early evening we arrived, and she very kindly laid us out tea, coffee & biscuits in the open plan front room, which was much appreciated. There were spacious solid wood floors throughout, (good for my asthma), it all looked both spotlessly clean & new, as well as warm & inviting. There were 4 of us, 1 woman, 3 blokes, staying in 3 rooms. Our 'boss' and only girl each had spacious double rooms to themselves, I shared an equally spacious twin room with the other guy. It was €35 each, which I felt was very good for this standard of accommodation. The bedrooms were fantastic, bright, breezy & cheerful, all with ensuite. The doubles have a lovely indulgent looking bath. Jo was so impressed she photographed hers! The beds, even the singles were blissfully comfortable. My room had a superb south facing view of fields, trees & rolling hills in the background and horses,(very frisky horses), in the foreground, with big french windows that opened onto a balcony. It was just so lovely & peaceful standing on the balcony & watching the horses frolic around, on a lovely mild evening in October, and relaxed me completely before a show I was doing at the nearby Glen Theatre. After a bit of a drink with the generous guys at The Glen, the B&B was equally welcoming at night. It was quiet season I should stress, and it was just us 4 in residence, but bearing in that the mind the couple running it had a son, & a very friendly dog, we were given loads of space, and truly felt it was ours! Breakfast next morning was to an equally high standard, and generous. I always love places that don't seem like guesthouses but places that you feel, well at home in, and we all definitely felt at home here. Real 5 star quality, and a lovely place to base yourself if you want to explore Cork & Kerry by car.

Our bedroom left nothing to be desired and was well equipped with drinks and a complimentary tray with a vast selection of tea, coffee and homemade biscuits. The bathroom was spotlessly clean with a good supply of towels and toiletries and the bed was even more comfortable than I could ever have expected. After a comfortable night's sleep, we took a short walk through the grounds and returned to tuck into a fabulous breakfast. The table was beautiful laid out with plenty of fresh fruit, lots of different preserves and some homemade bread. There was buffet of breakfast cereals, juice and yogurts and there was a good variety to choose from on the breakfast menu. We will definitely be returning for an extended stay so that we can explore the lovely countryside as well as some the fabulous restaurants in the town of Bandon which is just a short drive away. Bandon Pottery is also close by and I believe this is well worth a visit. To finish, I would just like to say a big thank you to Mark and Delores for a wonderful and memorable weekend and we will definitely be back in the very near future.
