Bottom Line

The mid-range Garnish House has a peaceful
yet convenient site, just across from Cork’s university and within walking
distance of the city center. Its 40 pleasant rooms have comfy beds and mini-fridges, and some have whirlpool tubs. But the size and sprawl of the property means some rooms are located in other buildings down the street. The fantastic breakfast is a highlight here, though it’s not included in
all rates; guests are also welcomed with free hot drinks and cakes on arrival, and the hands-on, mothering owner enhances the friendly atmosphere. Free (limited) parking and free Wi-Fi add to the Garnish's value, but there are few other on-site features. As an alternative, the Fernroyd House B&B offers a more intimate experience, with just eight rooms.
