The Courtyard Kilshannig

Fermoy

Situated in Fermoy, 27 km from Cork Custom House, The Courtyard Kilshannig features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a tennis court and a terrace. The property features garden and inner courtyard views, and is 28 km from Cork City Hall. The guest house has family rooms as well as facilities for disabled guests. Everything was perfect - from the building, the wonderful people working at the inn, to the beautiful scenery around the compound. It's truly an unforgettable experience, being able to stay in a structure that's been preserved so well since the 1700s. The room was really comfortable and neat as well, and I appreciated the warm breakfast made by them every morning :) Truly a delight if you'd like a quiet and serene stay, a bit away from the main Cork city. I'll definitely want to come back here!
