“Great Location”

Reviewed 10 June 2013

Kent House is situated within an easy walk to the heart of Cork. Your hosts are very pleasant and helpful with their advice about things to see and do. Parking was not a problem. I parked at the front door and was given a disc to place on the dash. My room was a little dated but provided everything I... More

“Kind & helpful host, great location for Cork”

Reviewed 13 May 2013

My friend and I arrived in Cork on a rainy April day. The Kent House was warm and inviting and Lorraine was very helpful to us as we got settled. We were able to park our rental car right in front of the B&B, on the street, with no issues. Our room was quite large for the 2 of us,... More

“The perfect hosts an the perfect base for a break”

Reviewed 25 February 2013 via mobile

Lorraine and John are fantastic hosts. I really felt like I was part of their family for the weekend. Good location just 10mins walk to town. My only suggestion would be to sleep with the window shut at the back as the trains could be considered an inconvenience. Only a small point to make for an otherwise fantastic little break... More

“Nice bed and breakfast”

Reviewed 10 February 2013

This place is located just by the train station, 15-20 mins walk to the city center. The owner was really nice and helpful, but the rooms and the breakfast were just average. Exactly what you expect from an Irish B&B. Recommended.
