I called last minute and the gentleman at reception, Brian, couldn’t do enough for us. They didn’t have a room available and we needed a dog friendly room in cork. He even offered to phone other hotels to check - bear in mi...

Did not stay but used function room and cafe/restaurant area and enjoyed it. Lovely location next to the river Lee. Nice place to relax on a summers day. Good for both business and pleasure. Just on the suburbs of the city but not too far away at the same time, c.20min walk or so.

A very special thank you to the stewardess who took the time to show me around the breakfast area concerning my food a...
