    Awesome Hotel! As soon as we entered, they offered us complementary coffee and snacks. They were absolutely delicious. The breakfast there was fantastic too. The room as large and comfy. It was able to house my family of four comfortably. The staff was kind and helpful. They helped us find many great restaurants. The only complaint was we were housed in a another hotel/house that had two another people living in it.

    We enjoyed our stay at the Garnish House. The location was really good. We enjoyed being able to leave our car parked at the guesthouse and just walk around the city of Cork. From the guesthouse, we were 10-15 minutes away from many of the main sites and many great restaurants in Cork. The guesthouse itself was nice. It felt very secure and safe. The room was not overly large but it worked well for the few days we were there. The bed was one of the more comfortable ones we had while traveling throughout Ireland. It was pretty soft and I slept quite well in it. The bathroom was pretty small and there seemed to be quite a bit of mildew/mold in the shower and above it. Aside from that, the room was pretty clean. The staff was very friendly. From the initial check in they were very welcoming and wanting to help. The first morning we woke up and found that the parking lot for the guest house was very full and our car was blocked in. While a bit inconvenient, the staff was very friendly and helpful and they were able to quickly sort it out and get us on our way. While it wasn't perfect, I'd recommend the Garnish House. It was a nice little place to stay in a very good location.

    We were welcomed to a complimentary tea coffee and scones, unexpected but just what was needed after the journey. The room was large clean and comfortable. En suite shower sink and toilet also new and clean. Staff very helpful and friendly. We didn't stay for breakfast so cannot comment.

    The room was quite nice and the staff were friendly. They even offer welcoming tea and scones which we unfortunately didn't get to take advantage of due to poor timing. On the negative side the WiFi was incredibly slow and the bathroom had a poorly thought out layout as well as separate hot and cold twos in a tiny sink.

    Lovely guest house with excellent staff located near the university. Very good tea, coffee and homemade scones on arrival. Rooms very clean and very well presented with tea and coffee in the room bed very comfortable fitted with quality bed linen. Breakfast excellent I had the Spanish omelette but they offer a very wide choice to eat and all cooked to order definitely looking forward to being back.

    Garnish is an institution and it's excellent reputation is well deserved. The staff are universally friendly and helpful, the rooms clean and comfortable and the food is wonderful. Their legendary breakfast will set you up for the day and whatever brings you to Cork. Couldn't recommend this B&B more!

    My boyfriend and I spent 2 nights at the Garnish House and we have a lovely memory of it. Our room was big, with TV and a big bathroom en suite. The bed was very comfortable. All the buildings of the B&B are smart and elegant. I liked the detail of the fresh flowers in the hall. The breakfast is just awesome!!! The best I ever had. But it is not included in the price: 10€ per person. The location is good, just a few minutes walking from the city center. I will definitely recommend this B&B to anyone. :)

    Wonderful B n B experience. Greeted at the door with a smile, tea and scones. It is clean with very comfortable beds and pillows. Laundry service is offered for a reasonable fee. Located near UCC and 12 minutes walk to city center. We did keep the windows open as we like a cool sleeping environment. There was a bit of noise from the apartments nearby which seem to be students, but it wasn't too loud nor too long. Overall...it's a gem.

    I stayed here years ago and was greeted by the nice lady who provided me with a pot of fresh tea, a basket of scones by the fire on a cold winters night. Breakfast was amazing as well.

    Located on the road next to the river, and a short 10 or so minute walk from downtown. Extremely helpful and friendly staff. The breakfast is incredible. As with most places here, the rooms have no A/C, which was a minor problem because we just happened to have unusually hot weather (for Ireland, anyway) while there. Overall would definitely recommend.
