Pros:

An old school hotel with great harm. Breakfast was excellent, plus our table looked out at the water. Room was “roomy” with plenty of space. Walkable to the train station which is next door. A terrific value.

Pros:

Great location with a great restaurant attached. Very short walk in to town. Angela the front desk attendant was exceptional. We got a flat tire the morning we were to leave and she helped us in such a companionate way in a stressful situation. Highly recommend!

Great Views and Location
Pros:

This was a great location with large comfortable rooms and fabulous views. Service was excellent and the restaurant was also very good.

We were worried that the arrival of a cruise ship in front of the hotel in the morning would be noisy and disturbing, but it wasn’t an issue.

Pros:

What a wonderful hotel. We have traveled around the world and this hotel was one of the best. It's a beautiful small older hotel with such character and is very close to everything in the lovely town of Cobh and only a few minutes to Cork. The rooms are a amazing and the views of the water are just incredible. Nice restaurant overlooking the water on the property for dinner and breakfast. You will not be disappointed in this gem of a hotel.

Pros:

Nice little harbor inn. This inn is directly next door to the Cobb Historic immigration building. Where my families ancestors left to America. The Inn was comfortable and right on the water. Staff could be a little more friendly and interested in how they could be of assistance but I might be just being nitpicking. All of our other accommodations for the two weeks seemed to be interested that we were staying with them.
