Really hated my room and the view!
Sarah G.

Out of the three weeks I spent in Ireland my two nights at the Garnish House were by far the least enjoyable of the whole trip. The room I stayed in was on the first floor right next to the laundry room and kitchen. Upon returning late the first evening, about 11pm, I noticed the door diagonal to mine was open - I had thought it was another guest room but it was in fact the laundry room. I was kept awake both nights by the sound of laundry being done throughout the nighttime. Then around 6 am the breakfast ruckus started which included loud chatter and various octaves of pots and pans being banged around. The room itself was rather small, with a very small TV and small bathroom. I get that most rooms and bathrooms in Europe are small - my stay here was towards the end of my adventure, I had been in several small rooms by this point - however the general smallness of the room, combined with an uncomfortable bed and a terrible window view from a window that I couldn't open to let in fresh air and that had limited natural lighting as it was facing the laundry and kitchen made the overall stay depressing and uncomfortable. There was only one wall outlet on the wall opposite side of where the bathroom was so I ended up doing my hair without a mirror so at least I acquired a new skill! I was also very unimpressed with the morning breakfast. The big 'thing' about the Garnish house is the large selection of breakfast items. The selections are not that great and are variations of the same items. Getting to the Garnish house is a bit tricky as well. The street name the B&B is listed under is deceiving. The street 'Western road' actually turns into a different street that becomes a one way. So if you're using your GPS to try to locate this B & B you dead end into the one way street and have to circle around to get going the right direction to actually find this place! Parking is also extremely limited. Location is relatively 'close' with a 20 or so minute trek into the centre of town. On my way I saw a couple of other places that looked nicer, newer and cleaner. I would recommend staying somewhere else while in Cork.

Our baby's first bed and breakfast stay!

Olive is an extremely welcoming person, getting us settled on arrival with a pot of tea and some…read morebiscuits. So appreciated after a full day of travel from Canada. 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.
