Comfortable Stay in Ideal Location
Pros:

Pj (I believe was a work placement student) was so welcoming and polite when I checked in. The room was comfortable and clean, a bigger one than I had booked too! The free duck in the bathroom and muffins in the room were a bonus! Breakfast was yummy and the rooftop bar was lovely in the sun 😊

Cons:

Accessibility is limited- meeting with a wheelchair bound family member from a cruise but the hotel wasn't a suitable place to meet unfortunately due to lack of suitable access. The hotel did notify us of that prior to the stay so not unexpected.

Stay when there aren’t any cruise ships.
Pros:

The hotel was in an excellent position to all the Cobh offered. The King room was absolutely amazing as were the staff.

Cons:

Having a cruise ship moor near by meant that the revellers continued into the wee hours, just under our window, so we couldn’t open the window to cool down the room.
