Garnish House
Our First View The Garnish House
Between Ms. Lucey her husband Con, and their impeccable assistant Marcel we had the best time. (A word about Marcel, he was a really lovely young man whose personality and good looks made him the darling of Garnish House - and of us to!), Garnish house (having been named after Garnish Island near Castletownbere, Ireland; an island entirely covered with flowers) is one of our top favorite B&B's to date. I can't say enough about the beautiful displays of food, the huge quantities of it, and the tastiest of homemade scones and breads, full Irish breakfasts, fresh fruits and special ordered gourmet delights. The entire house and rooms were tastefully appointed. Our room included fresh fruit and flowers, and was quite comfortable.
I had the best jacuzzi tub experience in our bath and with plenty of hot water which has been absent at other locations. Service was impeccable and anything we needed was provided for good-naturedly. It was also within walking distance of several very good restaurants and about 10 minutes from the bus station where we discovered, later, a large modern indoor shopping mall was situated right across the street on the opposite corner.

Marcel Greets New Guests One should definitely not pass up this place if ever you are in Cork, Ireland. We must really give credit to our taxi driver Ambrose for insisting this was the place for us to be - thanks again!

The best B&B in Ireland
We have been visiting Garnish House since 1997 (about 12 visits in all) and never tire of the place. We would recommend it to anybody. Garnish house is definitely part of the Cork experience. The hospitality, superb and plentiful food and the comfort is second to none. If you are looking for somewhere to stay in Cork there is only one choice, Garnish House. If you want somewhere to stay in Ireland it is worth going out of your way and going to Cork. God bless them all.
