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. This is clearly the best place we stayed during our trip to Ireland. The quality of the rooms, the breakfast lounge & the upstairs lounge is quite simply excellent. The owner as well as his staff are extremely service oriented & we cannot find a single thing we would have wanted different. We enjoyed a long walk & all the horses along our way. As an extra spice, Ruby, the young resident dog followed us & she is just SO cute..😁

Breakfast was very generous with fresh fruit, cereals, yoghurt and 3 options of delicious cooked breakfasts on offer. Maeve the lovely host couldn't have been more kind and helpful, on one morning we had to leave early and she offered to make us breakfast to take with us. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending this lovely place to stay in Kinsale.
