Nothing

A piece of heaven

Stayed in September 2025

Nothing. Best I’ve stayed in and I’ve stayed all over the world in top hotels for work!

Beautiful property in gîte beside owners own home. Its in wonderfully secluded location with views over cork harbour to the front and countryside from our bedroom windows. Host was so friendly and helpful with great insider tips for local places to go, visit and eat at that were not touristy. Room was beautifully decorated and clean. It’s only a short 6min walk down to the local restaurant with stunning walks for miles along the sea front. Felt totally safe with gated entrance.

Take note of the advice for finding the property location, it is easy to get misdirected. You need to be right up on top of the hill with Cork harbour way below.

Nice room, lovely location on top of the hill looking down into Cork harbour, easy access by the local ferry to Cobh.

Beautifully presented and decorated room with a comfortable bed and good shower. Regular and cheap bus into Cork Central and loved the ferry and walk over to Cobh. A really lovely place to stay.

Wonderful hostess and host. Not only was the location spectacular and peaceful with a charming nearby town, we were only 15 minutes from Cork.

Donal was the nicest host. Recommended places to myself and my partner. He was always a text away if we needed anything. The place was perfect for a weekend away. The room was lovely and cosy, bathroom was exquisite. I couldn’t have booked a nicer place. We will definitely be returning ☺️

Would have liked a fridge.

Brilliant host. It was a wonderful peaceful retreat, still accessible to Cobh and Kinsale. You would need a car for sure.

My room wasn't en-suute, I had to walk across the hall to the bathroom/shower. Although it was a bathroom to myself! People staying in the first floor above me where quiet noisy, I could hear every step they took early in the morning and late at night.

Beautiful house, everything new and tastefully decorated, quiet - facing green fields!

Stayed here with a colleague for a business visit to Cork. Had trouble getting accommodation in the city but so glad we ended up staying in the Lodge. The rooms were immaculately clean, the shower was powerful and the bed was so comfy. Had a very restful sleep. Also had tea/coffee making facilities in the room which was very welcome.Great WiFi too. I left my charger behind and it was posted back to me. Blaithin is a great host and had plenty of recommendations for places to eat. Highly recommend.

I find it hard to write this because it was my 1st break away in a long time, and I don't want to seem critical. But when I 1st booked the lodge through the booking. Com website I thought that I was getting the full lodge to myself. It was only after correspondence with the host that I got an idea that other people would be staying there also, and it was the room in the lodge that I had booked and paid for. Also, while I was there, I noticed that the lodge had a front living area that looked like it was being renovated, but it was off-limits. It would have been nice to be able to have use of an area like this separate from the bedroom. Finally, the distance from the lodge to somewhere to get something to eat and drink is too far if I want to get a drink. Now I'm not a big drinker, but as I was celebrating an occasion I would have liked the option to either have a drink with my food and walk home or know that there maybe a local taxi that would be able to provide that service. Oh, one last thing the bathroom could do with an extraction fan as it might not always be an option to leave the window open when using the shower.

I liked the location. It is a stunning place. The room was beautiful and cosy. The finishing touches in the room were 100% perfect. I liked the quirky old style wardrobe. I liked the fact that water was supplied each day. I liked the extra touch of a birthday card, and the present from the host. It was very humbling to receive. The bed was very comfortable, and the quality of the linen was more than I am used to. The bathroom was very modern and stylish with high spec finishes. The hosts were very attentive and helped make my stay one that I will remember for a long time.

Access to Kitchen could have helped to heat some sandwhiches or food.

Host was always available over phone or message for any queries and service. Host was very organised.

It was amazing - the welcome was familiar and the host was extremely friendly - explained everything and had some good tips for the dinner :)

The peaceful silence

I would have liked to be able to use the kitchen. Considering I stayed for 3 weeks, I would have liked to have a space to prepare something quickly. I wouldn't consider that a downside, more a personal preference

The location, cleanliness, and friendliness of the hosts were fabulous, I can't comment on this aspect. We stayed here for 3 weeks and everything was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The view and location are excellent, and I recommend it.

I can’t fault this beautiful and well maintained home.

Lovely host family with guest rooms in a separate building. Very nicely furnished and very comfortable. A steepish downhill walk to a couple of good pubs on waterfront. We drove to Park-and-Ride for Cork but buses available by pubs. Great location for Cobh too via car ferry.
