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 is located 28 km from Cork City Hall, 28 km from Kent Railway Station and 29 km from Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral. The guest house has family rooms and 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!

There is an in-house restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. The guest house has a hot tub and luggage storage space. We stayed only one night but we had a great experience at Stone Barn. Karin was a great host who gave us a warm welcome. Our room had everything we needed and the bathroom was very spacious and very clean. Soft towels and also bathrobes were present. Best of all was the breakfast, we could choose from a whole menu and everything was freshly made by Karin's husband Stuart. It was excellent, we ate as much as we could. Would definitely stay there again when given the chance.
