Nice Old World Hotel
Pros:

A really nice old world hotel with a lot of history behind it. A nice place to come just for a drink or a coffee, and a nice plan for an evening meal too. Really enjoyed it here.

Charming stay in Cobh
Pros:

We had an enjoyable stay at the Commodore Hotel. The view from our room was absolutely amazing and a real highlight of our visit. Street parking turned out to be very convenient, and it was free on Sunday, which was a bonus. Dinner and breakfast were both delicious, with a good choice available on the menu. We also loved the old, authentic furniture in the room and throughout the hotel, which added plenty of character and charm.
