We had a wonderful stay. The house was spacious and the beds were comfortable. The owner was very responsive and we loved the fresh flowers and muffins that were on the table when we arrived. It was also nice to see the donkeys through the kitchen window as I drank my coffee in the morning and again when we went outside to the back of the house. The three bathrooms were also a big plus and the Smart TV in the living room was appreciated by my kids. I would stay here again.

    This carefully restored and maintained property is a unique gem just a short stroll to Cork city centre. Cosy and full of charm and with the added plus of knowing your money is being put towards the restoration of other properties in danger of being lost forever. What’s not to like!

    It was very quiet, and just down the road from Fota Wildlife, which was the reason for visit. The cottage itself very cosy. All the heaters that were there worked, and beds were comfortable. If your driving very handy to get supplies from shops. The dishes/kettle were immaculate and the bathroom was clean. It’s great if you wanted to go exploring during the day and just have a place to chill in the evening.

    The magic of having the whole fort to ourselves after 5pm. The thrill of having a big key to come and go through the main gate. Cottage was charmingly furnished with period furniture and details but with sympathetic modern amenities. Having breakfast in little outside area. Atmospheric bar outside the main gates. Geraldine, the local house manager, was always at end of phone should there have been any issues- there weren’t. Fort staff also very friendly. Proximity to central Cork-5 min walk down (then up-hill back)
