Relaxed atmosphere with a host, John, that has a lot of helpful and interesting conversation. Good breakfast, with a wide choice of fare. Nice comfortable double bed. WiFi was very handy for us. Main road was a bit noisy, but not enough to worry us. Bathroom was across the hall - but was exclusive to our room. It was a... More

We spent one night at Glencairn and it was great! It is located on quiet street just outside of Cork City. The drive to a parking ramp on the south side of the city was less than 5 minutes. It is also on a bus route. Nice breakfast in a sun room with lots of flowers. John was very helpful.... More

As first-time visitors to Ireland, my mom and I simply couldn't have had a better experience at this B&B. John and Helen were incredibly welcoming hosts and helped us with everything from driving and navigation tips (especially after we struggled with left-side-of-the-road driving) to places to visit all over Ireland to just having wonderful people to converse with. We especially... More

A lovely bed and breakfast located 15 minutes outside Cork. Helen and John are lovely friendly hosts who do everything to make your stay as wonderful as possible. They advised us of what we should visit and it was exactly as they explained. The house is a beautiful country house with amazing, well-kept gardens. We had breakfast in the conservatory... More

We just stayed there last night and it was great! Really easy to get to by bus and we were welcomed by John who was so nice! The room was big and comfortable. Also a lovely walking path was right out in front. Had a great nights sleep! The breakfast in the morning was delicious and filling! John and Helen... More

The wife and I stayed at Glencairn for 2 evenings this past April and were very pleased with the accommodations. The house itself is just off a rather busy street but situated in such a way that you avoid notice of the traffic once on the site and are able to take in the lovely view of Cork Harbour. We... More

Just after booking online, John Fox asked me what kind of trees were surrounding our property in Texas. As a retired landscape designer and contractor, we were immediately joined "at the hip" Then, when we arrived at their beautiful garden home,, he and Helen gave us a big Texan welcome....smiles and hugs! Their breakfast room is an atrium with 360... More
